It’s been an emotional week for many of us. So today I’m focusing on being here now…
In This Moment
What do you see in this moment? And what do you hear? Is your stomach grumbling? What do you feel? Do you have an itch somewhere or pain in some area of your body? Can you simply sit and be with whatever is present? And can you feel the beauty and wonder of the world even through all of your pain and sorrow?
Mud of the Moment
Truth lives in the mud
of this moment. It exists
in the messy interplay of
emotions and relationship,
in the personality traits
I’d rather leave behind.
To experience truth
doesn’t take sainthood,
or dissolving my desires.
It requires diving into
the muck and mire of
what’s here, feeling
the anxiety or fear,
knowing the entirety
of me without hiding
from the shadows or
from light.
Choosing to be whole,
awareness makes the
leap to see that I am
truth — always was,
and always will be —
the radiant singularity,
the infinite in human
form. The lotus never
blooms without
sinking roots in mud.
— Danna Faulds
Wishing you a Memorial Day weekend spent in this moment, being present with all of the beauty and pain of the world.
May you walk in beauty.
