It is almost afternoon. I’m stealing from the moment of silence an opportunity to do my free flow writing. It is such a relief to be sitting here just with music in my own presence, listening to my own body, my heart, and my mind speak.
The lines in the journal I am writing in, are lovely as guidelines, but they may also be limiting to the free flow writing objectives. Lines are helpful, but the free flow writing requires no boundaries. I am grateful for these times of silence and stillness.
I can almost see my soul rising up to say, “Here I am” Present within me, being me, feeding and nurturing my mind, body, and heart”. How I wish I could keep this sacred moment to be everlasting, as it is filled with calmness, equanimity, presence, and love.
Presence seems to be the key today, in the moment as it is such an essential experience of existence. I can hardly describe it, but it is here and now, with a great sense of feeling everything to be what it should be, with all the challenges and difficulties that are still latent in the background.
For now, I sit in my inner rune space, and I know all the forces of the universe and history streaming to me, coming together into a bigger movement of destiny. I could be in pursuit of destiny, but it seems it is okay to just enter into the silence and stillness and to do nothing.
I have never truly understood what it means in the Tao to do with our doing, but today I’m getting a small glimpse of what it means. I understand the value of the deep sacred exploration of my soul, and it is as important to be present as it is to be mindful of the body and filled with emotional intelligence of the heart.
In this moment of stillness, I am aware of the interconnectedness of all things. I am a part of the universe, and the universe is a part of me. I am grateful for the opportunity to be here and now, and to experience the presence of my soul.
