A mantra for today

In Life and Love I find / Courage and Health designed

Crafting that phrase, finding just the right words to spell out the intention, repeating it to refuel the essence of humanity.

Such words will bring solace and comfort, if I can hang onto them in the dark days to come.

There are always light days and dark days. Sometimes a day contains elements of both, one is just the flip side of the other after all. But each has their place and their purpose.

The dark for the growth it feeds, much like the soil coaxes open the seed and nourishes the roots. Protecting and supporting the vulnerable.

The light, for the joy in observing new energy rising, flora seeking sunlight and sharing the other side of breath with the fauna. For possibilities and the unknown. Learning to live with uncertainty.

No candle before me in meditation, but there is the sea out the window to observe. It is constantly changing and reassuringly infinite. The waves and the troughs on the surface; water molecules act together to create a form that undergoes constant metamorphosis – because the water is alive.

It absorbs and exhudes, as do all forms of life in their own ways. All part of the whole.

Nature is healing. Gratitude for this immense universe we are all part of.
