The Passing of Time


Images of beauty that surround us, fill our world with light, harmony and joy, also bring forth inner truth, grace and love.  Many times we find ourselves crashing into life's obstacles, spinning nearly out of control and yet gracefully opening like a flower.

This is how time brings change and yet seems to keep things the same.  And yet, nothing that changes is ever the same again.  It is created anew, takes on a new form or shines with a different light.

Today I am asking you to breathe into your life.  Open your heart.  Lift your own veil of silence within yourself and allow yourself to speak freely and truthfully.  Be one with yourself as you experience change in your life and realize the passing of time.

Tomorrow you will be a new and different person, even though looking in the mirror shows you the same face.  The changes are subtle, minute at times, and often unnoticeable and yet they may be dramatic, life-altering, enormous and brilliant.  I feel there is a divine component in all this.  Perhaps something we have chosen and yet are unaware of.  

Something I have noticed in the passing of time is a much greater awareness at times and yet, at other times, it may seem as if a huge cloud has covered that same awareness.  No matter, for the passing of time is much like the ocean with its ebbs and flows.  And we are the sailors, navigating that ocean, feeling the rain showers and turbulence or floating on the calm water and soaking in the sunshine.

What flower in time are you?  What colors are you displaying as you bloom and glow?  How do you brighten up the world in any given moment?  And where do you add beauty and peace when there is darkness and despair?  Let your love shine forth and breathe gentleness and harmony as you bloom, all the while knowing that you are the rhythm that adds to the passing of time.
