Making space for a
little Kindness

There are
stages in our lives when we are profoundly confident in ourselves. We surrender our qualms and set them aside
with a self-assured glance. Our wishes tossed to the heavens and easily lasso
with the blink of a star. Dreams caught
with the whisper of a butterfly’s wings. These are the magical times when we
are at our best. We know who we are
intended to be and our intended purpose.
It is the pleasant intersection of timing when the moon and sun join
hands and dance a delightful jig in the glow of rainbow questions and starlight
answers. Life is good and there is no
stopping the mystical karma … climb, climb as fast as you can to the top of
your dreams … your time is now!
This learning
journey to finding our best self was not an easy one. There were surely twists and turns on our adventure
when the gods of the universe turned a deft ear to our pleas for alternative
paths. We demanded answers for our prized
dilemmas … answers with a due date of yesteryear. At first, the wait was not pleasant. We put up a great fight for our self-imposed
timeline was imminent. The struggle one-sided
as we fought within ourselves for the things we deemed vital for our existence.
Then one day
we stopped to breathe; we brought down our fists of fear; and, we paused for a
clear look at the space we had frivolously occupied. The space we had not given a second thought
of respect for the unassuming legroom of comfort. After all, a sliver of the cosmos was owed to
us by the sheer fact that we existed.
Our arrogant demands to be tolerated … we had places to go, things to
do, people to see.
Our
proclaimed space, reluctantly forgiving the whims of our less than evolved self,
suddenly assumed an enchanting kaleidoscope of compassion that only our better
self could have ever seen or appreciated.
The people in our sphere became kinder, or was it us who became kinder;
love for one another a way of life; and, the space we occupied was more
generous to the needs of others than that of our own.
Kindness and
love are powerful gifts and can take up a lot of space, if we just let
them. The space in my world has
certainly grown once I let these welcomed gifts into my life.
Blessings
and love to all … may your space in life be enlarged and shared by these
powerful gifts.
