“The mind is a flexible mirror,” shares spiritualist Amit Ray. “adjust it to see a better world.”

My darlings, looking towards the beauty of this world is the first of the mind’s purifications. Though, too often, we are distracted – by all that has passed or is still yet to be.

We’re in a constant state of spiritual flux. Though change is welcomed, in this case — it acts to inhibit our ability to engage this present moment.

How can we expect to ‘just simply be’ when our thoughts are continuously engaged elsewhere?

It reminded me of my time living on the Big Island of Hawaii. Whenever a great storm would approach, the sea life would instinctively take to the greater ocean depths.

Perhaps, metaphorically speaking they were drawing inward – avoiding the distraction of the tumultuous waves, retreating to the clarity of the deeper waters and in order to gain a better view?

“Life is a dance,” he writes. “But mindfulness is witnessing that dance.”

Perhaps, they knew what we so often miss. To open the heart in silent reverence to this dance of life as it unfolds.

Without worry…

Without judgement…

Without the need to grasp or hold…

And, perhaps in doing so we may just learn, that silence is the most powerful prayer of all.

A little something to consider, my friends ~

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
