If you can, love someone or something with all your heart today. And, with no expectation of anything in return. That’s a message from my intuition. My intuition? … My intuition is that place in me that never has any judgment-feeling toward me, and certainly never fear. It’s the quiet place in me, away from the ramblings of my mind. My mind? … Imagine a busy room where there is a party and voices talking and laughing and all sorts of agitation. That room is where my thinking takes place. And, if I’m not a master of the thoughts I allow into that party, the place can get pretty wild! … But, imagine walking out of that room, leaving the house. The voices of that party fade away in the night. You are now in a quiet spot in the woods, taking in the moon as it illuminates the snow on the ground. Even if an especially cold winter’s night, you’re not shivering. This place in relation to the house party is where the intuition might be found. Away from the incessant mind chatter. It will usually tell me – if I quietly consult with it – how I am doing. If I am on path. If I am *not* on path. And, so forth. And, never – ever – with a feeling of judgment. Never – ever – with a feeling of fear. Judgment and fear don’t live in this deepest place. It is the quietest place in me. But, if I follow the gentle persuasion of its guidance – which sometimes even shows up in dreams if I take note of them and analyze them immediately upon awakening – I am most often saved from great pain, and often led to beautiful rewards – silly things that might be considered rewards to me. Sometimes the outcome might not be in line with my secret or deepest desire, but – if I listen to that quiet place in me away from the chatter – it will always gently let me know if I am on my path, or let me know if I have fallen off it. And, that’s really the whole point. The outcome always seems bigger than anything I can hold in that room where the party is happening. It’s bigger than a few words of judgment in my intellect as to how things are. It has ramifications that go far beyond just the idea of my ego, my personality, my needs. And, maybe the result isn’t what my limited desire-driven self hoped it would be. Yet, my soul grows ten times bigger for the decisions made. And, if I am following that innermost quiet part of me on decisions – no matter how everyone in that party (the world) – insists what I’m doing is embarrassing or crazy or nuts (well, what else is new, really?) – I know for certain I can look back years from now, and say, “Yup, that led to this, and this led to that, and I’m here because of this … ” – and, I still have no idea how many others may have been touched by this decision my brain thought was so insane – and other brains agreed – but that quiet place in the woods under the moon in the snow, away from the noise, knew – without prodding or agitation or judgment – what I was to do, or where I was to go. If you have trouble finding that quiet place outside the chatter in your mind, I find a great place to find it is just love someone or something today, with all your heart, with no expectation of any return. It will warm a place in your heart. A place that lights up with a road sign reading, “This way …” ❤️
