Inner Light ~ Loner Wolf

As St. Francis of Assisi once wrote, “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” Whatever you’re struggling with at the moment, whatever darkness is lurking within or without, just know that your inner light is forever and always burning within you. Even in our most lost, confused, distraught, and anxiety-filled moments, the inner light of your Core is there, ready to guide you home. Reflect on moments when you’ve faced this inner light before, what was it like? How did you feel? Seek to cultivate these numinous moments and find practices that help the inner candle of your being to grow brighter. Ask yourself, “On my deathbed, when all is said and done, what will truly matter?”

Keyword: ABUNDANCE

Message: “Manifesting abundance” is a catchphrase many people like to throw around these days, but few truly understand what it means. Experiencing abundance isn’t about giving the Universe a shopping list with all of your desires, nor is it about trying to assert control and “get what you want.” Instead, abundance is about recognizing the richness of the life you are already living. The ego has a way of materializing spirituality to serve its own cravings, but don’t confuse abundance with the spiritual materialism you see today. Abundance is a state of mind; an openness of the heart and a willingness to feel happy with what we already have. Yes, gratitude has a way of attracting even more abundance, but that is not the point: the point is to actually experience the richness of our lives as a gift of Grace. How are you already living an abundant life? Notice how that reflection impacts your week and paradoxically draws more abundance to you.

Macro Philosophy Creed – Thea Alexander (author of 2150)

I believe in the Macrocosmic oneness of all, and in myself as a perfectly functioning aspect of that macrocosm.

I believe that I, and only I, have the honor and the power to determine, design, and alter whatever my daily life contains, for it is the result of my own thoughts.

I believe there are as many paths as there are people to walk them, and that each person is the best judge of which path s/he will most effectively walk at any given time.

I seek the adventure of interaction with others, knowing that it is the classroom of my evolution.

I joyously receive this and every day, knowing that it is the canvas upon which I am painting my life.

Acceptance is one of the cornerstones of a wise, relaxed, fulfilling, and soul-aligned life. One of the best ways to discover where you need to invite more acceptance into your life is by observing the most “tense” areas of your life. You are likely bringing a lot of resistance to this area, perhaps by expecting that people should act differently or “be” a certain way in order for you to be “happy.” Remember, acceptance isn’t about being passive, it is about actively loving, surrendering, and allowing people and situations to be exactly as they are without conditions (within reason). This applies to your emotions as well! When there is resistance to your emotions, there is suffering. But when there is acceptance, there is well-being. Ask yourself, “What areas of my life am I experiencing the most tension in?”

This Morning I Watched the Deer
By Mary Oliver, from Why I Wake Early (2004)

This morning I watched the deer
with beautiful lips touching the tips
of the cranberries, setting their hooves down
in the dampness carelessly, isn’t it after all
the carpet of their house, their home, whose roof
is the sky?

Why, then, was I suddenly miserable?

Well, this is nothing much.
This is the heaviness of the body watching the swallows
gliding just under that roof.

This is the wish that the deer would not lift their heads
and leap away, leaving me there alone.

This is the wish to touch their faces, their brown wrists—
to sing some sparkling poem into
the folds of their ears,

then walk with them,
over the hills
and over the hills

and into the impossible trees.

Why I Wake Early – Mary Oliver

Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and crotchety–

best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light–
good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.
