WALK ALONE

There are times in our journey when we must walk alone. While the view around us may feel obstructed, it is the light within ourselves that needs to be illuminated. The cascades of our emotions may have us drowning in our dramas. Our minds pull us in so many different directions. We naturally become weary.

Our challenge is to courageously walk alone and listen for our wise counsel. It is heard through the stillness. It is the unspoken words of our soul which we may have resisted hearing. The quiet mind opens the clarity of our heart. Whether we are in a partnership or not, it is essential to step away for the regeneration of our spirit.

Just walking. Touching the earth. Grounding the restlessness. We can allow nature to hold us. Whether it is our sorrow or confusion. We must not abandon ourselves in our times of need. Being alone, we can make space for the feelings which move through. There is a time to be connected and supported. This is that time to offer this to ourselves.

We all must walk in peace. The world is haemorrhaging suffering. It is in desperate need of loving hearts. We can be that when we take time to be alone. To align ourselves. The great calling for wisdom begins with ourselves. As we respectfully embrace our humanity, we grow our compassion. We recognise our shared suffering and shared opportunities to be a source of kindness.

May we be surrounded by peace.
May we live in a loving heart.
May we inspire each others' wisdom.
