Evening Reflection
To adapt to the shape of the day was a beautiful guidance to live into. It took the pressure off, and I found myself just letting things be without feeling the need to control. I offered my ideas in meetings without a sense of ownership. I found I spoke easily and waited for a response with much less ego involvement and defensiveness in my inner stance than usual.
The fun in it all is that I am aware that I am doing this. I can feel the difference between doing it and not. The goal is to become more and more able to follow the guidance without thinking about it. However, it is a wonderful gift to have help along the way.
The guidance’s reminder that I am loved also allowed a relaxation within my being that made the day flow without me needing or desiring anything from anyone. What an experience!
Be a soft cushion for others to rest on-this was the most surprising item of the guidance. During my encounters with others throughout the day, I loved the feeling of being a soft cushion for them to rest upon. I seemed to move my body more smoothly and take things in stride; I didn’t feel as though I had to comment on this or that. I listened in a loving and accepting way and let the words of others sink in.
Watching-just watching-allowed me to enjoy and appreciate the gifts, personalities, and even the moods and dispositions of those I shared life with today. Today’s guidance grew on me as I sank deeper and deeper into it’s wisdom. I think I grew into it also.
How did you live with this one?
