Taking in all the new information around me is somewhat overwhelming, but I am definitely drying out a bit. My directions are set for me, but I feel very much like I have started at the beginning of something. ... like my life! Slowly I am picking up helpful concepts like keep moving forward, you will eventually get there, and everybody has some helpful insight - it's too bad all that insight isn't in just one book! You know, the "Get Your Life Together" book.
I'm still enjoying "Eat, Pray, Love". I've been reading to my EC for our bedtime story. It's been actually pretty fun. Right now, Elizabeth Gilbert is in India trying on meditation, something that I'm sort of starting to understand.
I lay meditating in a park early one evening this week. I was face down and stretched out. My arms were crossed beneath my head like a pillow. A stranger stopped to see if I was OK. She scared me with her question. I think I must have actually been meditating. I was focusing on what divinity looks like inside me. I decided it is like a small glowing white light. Not like a light bulb, but more distant like a star. It was in my center, at the base of my sternum. It made me happy. I tried to see its calmness, its peace. I focused and tried to silence the world around me. I liked the feeling.
We do have divinity in us. Can we utilize it when we want to, when we need to? Can it become us? I think Mother Teresa knows the secrets?
I think it takes years of practice and patience. May I have both on this journey.
