I want to speak about joy and wholeness and weathering storms and still being whole and feeling blessings always.
A Blessing from the Trees
In the stillness of your being is a place of great expansion.
Become still and feel the expanded state of your inner being.
Feel the expansiveness of not just being a tree.
Rather you are also entirely a forest, a wholeness of being.
Feel the expanded, infinite quality that is your soul.
Feel the strength of the gifts with which you have been blessed.
Stand very still in the expanding moment of all that is you.
Reach beyond the old story.
Reach beyond the picture as it looks from the outside.
Look beyond the fallen branches knocked down in the storm.
See that the forest is still whole and green and beautiful.
As are you.
Yes you have had branches knocked down in the storms of life.
And yet you, like the forest, are just as beautiful and a whole as ever.
Reclaim the wholeness of your being, the light that is your soul.
Clear away what covers up the new and let your light shine.
What does it mean to you to lead with your light?
What does it mean to you to tell your story?
What does it mean to you to remember you are a forest and not just a tree?
What does it mean to you to know that it is always the brokenness that leads to wisdom and wholeness?
Where are you?
Where are you inside yourself?
Where are you in relationship to the story that you are telling yourself about who you are and what you can do?
What if there was a way for you to see what illuminates your being so that you could shine a brand new light into the world?
What if you knew the way to shine your light?
Oh that you could see how beautiful you are, how much light you have and how beloved you are to all on high.
Oh that you could only know the beauty of the light and the depth of the love in which you are held.
You are blessed.
You are a blessing.
Know that you are loved and whole and beautiful and just right the way you are, where you are and who you are.
Now you get to choose.
You can choose the path of joy and wonder and gratitude and celebration.
Then it will also choose you.
