"I imagine a deep
well within me; a rich, fertile, sanctified landscape at the center of my being
that is untouched by the traumas and dramas of my surface existence, an inner
stream of wellness, the source of my life force and vitality, a portal into my
eternal nature...a locus of knowing that gets it already and understands full
well I am on a wild joy ride... the place from which I have come, the place from
which I emerge into the world and through which I make my returns momentarily,
daily, and at the end of life. I anchor myself here. When my outer life is
particularly stormy or disorienting, or I feel any disturbance whatsoever, I
know to reestablish my connection to my well within. It reassures me to make
this contact. I am reminded of the ultimate truth; that I am infinitely safe
beyond any real need for safety, and that I am here for the full experience of
life; the love, the joy, the sorrow...I am well within when I am connected to
this well within me. My awareness of the full dimension of my nature moves to
the forefront of my consciousness. I am aware of my origins, aware of my
ultimate nature, I am aware of what an amazing landscape this outer universe is,
teeming with richness and variety. I am aware that on this joy ride, I get to
choose to place my focus anywhere I want, to choose what I will give my life
force to and what I will let go to seed within me and what I want to flower. I
have learned that what I focus on is what grows around me, and that focus by
focus, thought by thought, emotion by emotion, I create the characters, story
lines and conditions of my life." ~ Amy McTear
Just what I needed today. Thank you, Amy.
