Dear Beloved Soul,
I know how easy it is to search outward for something to make this chaos all go away and to feel okay again. The chaos I’m referring to could be in your personal life, professional life, and/or the chaos you are feeling in America right now. It could be any or all of these situations.
We crave signs, clarity, inner peace, and miracles. We yearn for some flicker of light to pierce through the overwhelm, the sorrow, and the confusion of these turbulent times.
Am I right? At least, that is how I am feeling right now. But sometimes, and/or maybe all the time, the light we’re looking for is not out there somewhere.
It’s within you.
It’s the part of you who’s weary but still able to be open-hearted and tender.
The you who remembers to breathe.
The you who remembers to love yourself a little more today than yesterday.
The you who offers a kind word even when your own heart is aching.
That you - right here, right now - IS the light between the cracks.
Close your eyes and feel that light. Even on the dimmest day, that inner flame flickers on.
Invite it into your life even more and let it be a balm towards the inner peace you crave.
Let yourself be the miracle and the candle and the spark you are waiting for.
