All that distracts and is outside of ourselves is just polarized noise – a distraction from the truth of our being; a mind game to keep us polarized – a phenomenon created to separate us from the oneness of being. And so long as we allow ourselves to be triggered and distracted by it, our ability to exist in wonder, magic, manifestation, and authenticity will be eternally elusive.

The ego is a fraud which collects our doubts, fears, and misperceptions in order to control our illusionary experience. Step outside that space and what do we have? Is it ordinary or extraordinary? Reach for the values that exist within love. That includes cherishing and accepting the truth which your soul calls you to understand. The value of life is a seed which grows from the smallest thought that you may germinate from the inside out. Navigate your life from that part of you that perceives that what is outside of yourself teaches and guides but does not control you.

For example, the perception of the tree includes the leaves, the trunk, the roots, the rain, the sunshine, the birds and insects. All support the ecosystem of the tree so that it may thrive. But there are no polarizing factors unless there is an outside threat. So as a human what is your ecosystem – what nourishes you and makes you grow and what threatens your health and life support. Where do you sink your roots? How deep do your roots reach and is the sustenance adequate to nurture you?

I am a tree.

If I am a tree, the clouds contain rain which nourishes me, so I welcome the rain. The storm creates a breeze which drifts through my leaves to enliven me. I stand tall and don’t bend for minor experiences and when a hurricane blows, I cry, for the Earth weeps with me and shakes my world.

My life weaves a web of stories and they are connected by a thread so thin it is barely visible. That thread is my soul’s yearning to grow and expand and understand itself. My soul finds comfort in the story, yet I am not the story, and so long as I believe that I am, I don’t grow beyond my human form.

I am that I am…those things I believe myself to be. When I release all the cords to the traumas, sadness, and baggage associated with my story on the journey to this point, there is freedom. And freedom is understanding at a deep level that it is the story of my heart and my soul that carries me and supports my journey. I relinquish the need to validate, to be right, to be anything but a journeyer on the river of life. Wedded to the journey, I unburden my heart.

I do.
