The update came in and I stopped. I was surprised with the outcome. While the timing caught me off guard, it happened a lot earlier than I expected, I was always confident it would come in time.
As I reread the note, my mind kept looping back into a psalm. The words then, “I’ve kept my feet on the ground, I’ve cultivated a quiet heart. Like a baby content in its mother’s arms, my soul is a baby content,” (Psalm 131.2) resonated now.
There is a power within each which is unleashed when we take care of the heart and trust in the outcome of truth filled kindness and compassion. In this case, because a heart rested within truth and was powered by compassion, a powerful outcome followed.
Several observations as reminders.
Being still, quiet, and content within is not something one can turn on and off. It is the result of dedication, perseverance, and trust in Divinity. The form will vary. In the variations, the content is fundamentally the same. I find that it always starts when one does it for one’s soul. When this is beginning to fill, the content can be used for others.
It is difficult, maybe impossible, to use this for bad intents. When you nurture and take care of your heart, it is difficult to use this for bad purposes. I find the processof embracing quiet stillness and contentment leads to a purification of the darkness within. Once used for good, the experience of others discovering what you have found reinforces the natural use for good.
The combination of what happens internally with external touch points creates a desire and quest for more. The cycle of moving into stillness, rediscovering quietness followed by contentment, feeds a passion to use this for others and good. The more one shares, the more the cycle reinforces itself. With time, there is an experiential validation of one’s calling and purpose.
Beauty and wonder follow the simple truth of how accessible this is. With no barriers, the invitation is here, now, for you and me.
