We’re on the Journey
This blog post is also available on my Facebook page to make sharing it with friends and family easy for you to do.
Hello, dear friends.
Today,
Just a few words.
Today,
Just a simple blog.
Today,
Just
Right here
And
Right
Now.
That’s all.
That’s all
Life asks.
And now,
It is
Now.
~~~
If you are reading this,
I proclaim,
You are
On the journey.
What journey,
You might ask?
The hero’s journey?
The journey of wholeness?
The journey of recovering
Our lost selves?
The journey of healing
Yesterday’s
Wounds?
What’s
Our role?
To take
One step
At a time,
Letting
The
Next
Step
Reveal
Itself.
~~~
Once on the journey,
There is no
Un-journey-ing.
We are on
The path.
Maybe we’re
In a ditch?
We’re in
A ditch
On
The
Path.
Maybe we’re
Taking
The long
Super bumpy
Pothole-studded
Route?
We are taking
The pot-hole
Studded route—
On the path.
There is no
Getting off.
No matter
Our behavior.
No matter
Our choices.
The journey
Has been
Initiated.
It cannot
Be
Canceled
Out.
If we really
Understood
This
And
Believed
This,
How much
Different
Might
Life
Be?

Here is a guided meditation,
From my heart to yours,
On the Journey.
Please join me.

We are not alone.
Although we walk what appears to be a solo path, truly there are so many people around us.
Communities exist in so many layers and take so many different forms. The community at your yoga center, the community of family, of your friends, the community of people waiting in line at the supermarket, to name a few.
Pema Chodron in Awakening Loving-Kindness says:
your sacred space,
and it’s not an accident.
Whatever comes into your space
is there to teach you.”
Let’s stand by each other.
Here’s an oldie with a great new sound, with Clarence Bekker, Dutch musician and part of the Playing for Change collective.

Dear Friends,
Be safe.
Be well.
Let’s
Look
For the beauty.
Let’s
Look
For the grace.
All blessings,
Aruni
