I write this story from the window seat of the train; the window is wide open and I can feel many stories to fill the spaces inside me.
There’s something pleasant to the senses about travelling from the train. A feeling of love emanates the environment around us that it ends up affecting us if we choose to welcome it’s healing benefits. A shift must occur in ourselves first if we are truly to be able to fully reap the benefits of this natural exchange from nature.
The shift is
quiet and inwardly focused completely. No one can initiate the shift for us
unless we choose to let ourselves feel the beauty and richness in being exactly
where we are in the present. When we do allow ourselves the space to listen and
surrender to the movement and noise of wherever we find ourselves in this
world, we can see the beautiful flow of nature.
Ultimately, the
beauty of nature is all around us, it just takes an intentional shift to be
completely surrendered to the divine presence in front of our eyes to witness
it deeply.
Well, the
choice is individual. It’s unique. It’s subjective. All outcomes of being are
synonymous; being aware of the love around us where we are, but the action and
approach towards arriving to this space has everything to do with our distinct
choices to intentionally shift our focus. If there is an answer you seek to
this question, I am afraid I cannot give you that answer. Only you can really
answer it for yourself when we can slow down enough to see. There’s a saying
that says, “we go where our attention goes,” and in this case, that is
definitely true.
Let’s say we
are having a day where our body feels riddled with overwhelming thoughts and
sensations, like stress and anxiety. If we arrive from a place of dis-ease, we
may find it more difficult to shift into love because our minds are consumed
with thoughts, and the way we think certainly does influence our perception of
the world around us. However, even if we are riddled with tension and thoughts,
we can find it comforting to shift into love more effortlessly if we can let go
of the thoughts and come to a place of total surrender to everything outside of
our current focus, which is (for this story) what is going on outside our
windows.
Acceptance
arises where we meet ourselves in a space where there is no sense of time, just
a rich, meaningful fulfilment of being present with where we are at. I told you
in the beginning here that I was sitting on the window seat of the train, and I
can tell you, love is flowing through me in ways that fill myself with a divine
trust in where I am in this world. A trust that is guiding me and my intuition
through the day with love in my heart because I can feel the love of the
earth’s heartbeat moving through my being as I continue to watch the world just
be. It reminds me to slow down, not take life too seriously, and enjoy the
moment for what it is, without needing to change a single thing about it.
A journey from outside to inside written with the threads of emotions and tenderness, while weaving a silky smooth shawl to wrap around your soul.. a story not so easy to gasp but smooth enough to melt like silk chocolate bites.. it’s bubbling, nutty and crunchy presenting complete flavour of what’s happening inside the writer’s mind..
ReplyDeleteThe core message of moving towards yourself is hardly so beautifully defined else where.
Great write up Oiseau.. keep writing your heart out..
