BE LIKE THE SUN
I invite you to take today's writing not to mean you should run, deny or shove aside problematic situations or people, but more as an image to keep you centered within all you may have to face. An image/sensation that is an experiment in a different kind of boundary, one that does not send your resources out to the edge of your energy field, but instead strengthens your collected core of aliveness.
BE LIKE THE SUN
Walking in the pre-dawn dark
I hear:
BE LIKE THE SUN
I had been worrying a problem
ruminating on it,
turning it over in my hands
strategizing…
“Ok I could set a firmer boundary here,, no here, ok, wait what if they don’t show up there, but over here, what if this comes at me.. I’ll try .. no… wait.. Over here…”
BE LIKE THE SUN
(I almost tripped, so clear and specific was the voice)
Magnetize a central focused energy point
That combusts and clears
BE LIKE THE SUN
burning toxic debris
Before it can even penetrate the core
BE LIKE THE SUN
No need for walls that
demand constant maintenance and vigilance.
No need to run towards
every worry and fear
scrambling to build a defense.
BE LIKE THE SUN
Knowing and generous,
radiating
with a collected sense of self.
Noticing, illuminating
The sun's warmth and power is enough.
