When you take on the task of getting to know yourself, it can be a little overwhelming. Sometimes you find much more than you thought was there. Sometimes you realize that it could be very dangerous to be completely who you are. Sometimes you find out that you are capable of more than you thought......but that's not always a good thing.

Stillness Between Words

I started something new today. While people were expressing themselves with words today, I payed as much attention to the silent stillness between the words as much as the content. It was an amazing realization for me. It made me relax into what was being said....as well as what wasn't. The stillness came to mean as much as the content, if not more. Actually, I found myself hanging on the edge of every silence instead of every word. I realized that is was then that I was most present.

Do not thy deceive thyself.....no web is there harder to untangle than that which thou hast weaved within.

Vision Board

I started a vision board a few days ago. Although I'm not finished with it, I have found that everything on there so far has to do with relationships, serenity, peace, cleansing, taking more time to enjoy life, and aligning physical being with inner being. It has been a very enlightening experience so far. When you make a vision board, you are supposed to do it from your core and not from your ego. I have been astonished by the "things" I thought I needed to be content......they were all just representations of the feelings those things would provide for a moment. The things I truly need to be content are much more simple and are directly related to the contentment I pursue, rather than a passing feeling pursuits of the ego provoke and ultimately lose.
