This time of the year is always the busiest for our family. Graduations, end of year concerts and awards and planning for the the Fall pull me firmly back into more mundane activities, leaving less time for spiritual pursuits. In the flurry of all of this, I try to routinely spend some time reflecting on the choices I have made in response to greater demands on my time and looking for ways to incorporate my experiences into a balance of body, mind and spirit. I came across this posting made in February of 2009 and as is always the way with these things, it was exactly the reminder I needed at this moment. Perhaps it will calm some of your own busy-ness….Enjoy
Reflections
February 23, 2009
“When we spend time reflecting on our life path, we awaken our inner wisdom and gain greater insight about the choices that are right for us. It is easy to become confused by the multitude of choices facing us each day, and we might resist the decision-making process for lack of understanding about what we truly want. If we can quiet our minds and reflect on the possibilities before us, we can connect more deeply with ourselves and know instinctively which choices are best for us. With our new sense of clarity, we are then able to move forward with confidence and optimism about the future. Simply quieting and calming your thoughts today will connect you more deeply with your inner self so that you can see your life in clearer focus.”

How often have we been told that spending some quiet time with SELF is the best way to access the right action? Reading this today sent me down this well worn path of good intention. And, try as I might to remember to access this simple, yet quite profound, action Life gets in the way… “I” get in the way. So, perhaps the best strategy is to factor this into the LIFE equation. To move through my days and weeks in such a way that reflection, greater insight and work, play and love become intrinsically intertwined. That listening to and for that still small voice within, becomes just as habitual as that venti coffee in the morning to fuel my day. Perhaps by making a conscious decision to work collaboratively with my Higher SELF, the myriad of choices will blend into the one true PATH and the clarity I seek will simply need the opening of my eyes.
