Greetings Dear Ones,
It's been a long time since I have written. For those of you that used to regularly enjoy this blog, my apologies. It took time to come to terms with the realization that the writing needs to be done. Not because of or due to my own or anyone else's expectations, but just because. Writing is not the voice of one. It is the Voice of us all and we each contribute some level of understanding to the collective when we reach deep down and say what needs to be said. As part of that collective, and with my deepest heartfelt love, I offer this: You are beautiful. That's not pandering, it is the god's honest truth. You. Are. Beautiful. I have noticed, however, that many of us don't feel beautiful. And why is that?
We live in a time when there is clearly some model of what it means to be a beautiful man or a beautiful woman. And more and more it seems that the model of that beauty is a body and face that can only be attained through artificial means. Long hours moving the body in a way that you might not ordinarily move it. We attempt to attain that look by using products filled with ingredients that "renew" the skin by chemically burning away the surface cells so that new "younger" cells can show through. And we are so very "fortunate" to have skilled surgeons that can charge us a fortune to carve our very physical vehicle into a shape that will, we hope, approximate this vision of what the model of beauty is supposed to be. Is it some accident that the current model of beauty is almost completely unattainable by naturals means? I will leave you to ponder that for a moment or how ever long you wish. In the meantime, I would like to suggest that as a newborn baby you were beautiful. And since that newborn lives on inside each and everyone of us, we must all be as beautiful as the day we were born.
When you wake in the morning do you pause to ask yourself what it is that you are feeling? I invite you to try asking yourself that question before you bolt or stumble out of bed. Once you have an answer, then the next question might be, "What do I need - how does that newborn baby inside me need to be nurtured? Do I need stretching, quietude, nourishment, a walk, something else?" Identify what it is that you need and then give it to yourself before you do another thing. Loving and caring for the inner child can be relearned. Once you/we learn to love and care for the beautiful child within then no one can ever again deceive you/us into believing that any person is obliged to become the artificial model of beauty. This is because you will know and understand where true beauty lives.
My Deepest Love to You All,
S.
