“The mystery of your presence can never be reduced to your role, actions, ego, or image.
You are an eternal essence; this is the ancient reason why you are here.
To begin to get a glimpse of this essence is to come into harmony with your destiny and with the providence that always minds your days and ways.
This process of self-discovery is not easy; it may involve suffering, doubt, dismay.
But we must not shrink from the fullness of our being in attempting to reduce the pain”. *
Let us not shrink from the fullness of our being as we delve into the mystery and embrace our destiny.
This journey takes courage and a lightness of soul.
Namaste

You are right Val and to go through whatever it must be, will bring us further, if we are open to see.
I hope, that you enjoyed your time away?

Val, These are the words that spoke most to me, “But we must not shrink from the fullness of our being in attempting to reduce the pain.” Shrinking doesn’t allow me to escape the pain but it does keep me from connecting with the joy of giving to others. Thank you for this message.
