Where Should I Start? (S)

It seems like every time I sit down to write for this blog I am just overwhelmed with memories, and the infinite, blank, white internet paper could never hold them all. Or at least you would get bored reading a recount of so many moments. At this point I am sitting in the float studio. I just returned from a profound, but short camping trip, and I leave in two days for Chicago, Grand Rapids, then Nashville. I could tell stories, but I would prefer to approach this entry as a meditation. I will simply enter the present moment and begin writing.

Life is marvelously beautiful. At any moment you could be stumbling upon dark, ancient, mysterious vibrations, or you could find yourself in bright, colorful, transcendent energy. Regardless, I take each with rejoicing and thanksgiving, for each contribute to the full picture of life. And that is exactly why life is so marvelous. If there is only light, one does not see the spectrum. There must be darkness as well.

I am stumbling into a portion of life that is abundant, and in which the mysteries of life are being made plain. I'm not sure what day it was, but I know it was at Sonic Bloom that I saw that my life was transitioning into abundance. My whole life I have been without abundance in some way, and I focused on the lack of abundance. At Sonic Bloom I was able to let go of that focus, and begin accepting the abundance that is around me. This was when the abundance began, and I stopped looking at the mysteries of life which allowed them to disappear.

If we simply remain present, that is when all mysteries fall away. There is no mystery in presence. We do not ask what tomorrow will bring, nor do we ponder about the happenings of yesterday. We do not hold suspicions of others, or even of ourselves which allows perceptions of the unknown to fall away. Then we focus only on that which we know, and after enough focus we realize that we know everything. We are programmed with the knowledge of all things, if only we stop trying to understand this knowledge and begin to remember it.

This is where I am today. I am in the process of remembering that I am abundant. I am in the process of remembering that I am balanced. I am in the process of remembering what I am. The more I let go, the more I come into contact with the life I have always dreamed of. The more that I remember, the more that I see that all around me is perfect. The most beautiful part of my journey thus far has not been the views, though breathtaking. The most beautiful part of my journey has not been the interaction with wilderness. The most beautiful part of my journey has been waking up to truth.

Sleep well if you sleep, I will see you soon.

Namaste
