Today might be full of sunshine for you. It might be thunderclouds. But, that bigger reality that is aware of every seed bursting, every bird chirping, every pain in every heart, of every cloud and every ray, remains untouched just behind the mask of reality. So it is with you today! Some will think highly of you. Some low. Those very folks might switch sides at some point! That’s a kicker, right? You might find gentle amusement in that, and laugh at how your own perceptions have changed or gone full circle over time. So, you’re not too swayed by the good words, or the bad. That part of you that is *really* you, deeper inside, that’s the thing. That part that can’t be swayed and pulled and moved by constantly changing perceptions. You’re concerned only with that part of you that sits in the center of the spinning wheel. That part of you that remains unchanged whether you’re hearing applause or ducking thrown tomatoes! Every one of us is suffering. Every one is us is dealing with our own aging mortal coil. But today you will bear a gentleness that comes from strength, whether rain washing down your cheeks or lit by the sun. While all changes constantly around you in a swirl of endless comings and goings, ups and downs, and light and dark, you are the oak that doesn’t bend in the wind and rain. You’re a place of shelter and comfort. A place of redemption for those who come in like a storm, but who only need to be reminded they are loved, to be held, and to be assured they are okay. And the thunderclouds pass and sunlight returns. You can live from this place today. It’s deeper in you. It feels unchanging. It feels like home. It’s the eternal part of you. It’s the part that’s real. … I love you! You’re so greatly loved. And, you have such tremendous power.
