Tune into the energy of each day. Sense your own energy. It may be more in alignment than you realize, for you are part of the greater whole, including the physical and the planetary. Find your inner world reflected in the outer world, not looking for excuses but only for your true and deeper connection to all of nature. For as the world is so are you. As the Earth is so are you. As the moon is so are you. As the sun is so are you, a part of it all.

Take all that into consideration as you begin each day and each night, knowing that your very existence is so much greater and has so much more impact than you might imagine. For you are the wind, the sun, the soil you walk upon as much as you are the moon, the stars, the darkness you traverse every night in your dreams—one and all. Ponder that.

Prepare for each day as if you were about to begin the most important journey of your life. Allow each day to be special, for in truth it is. Honor this day and do the same tomorrow, for you and your journey are important. Without you there would be no life, no journey, no today, and no tomorrow. Honor all that, all that you are, all that you bring to each day’s dawning. And then honor all else, for you are part of a far greater journey and a far greater whole. Keep that in mind as you begin this day’s journey. You matter more than you imagine. All beings matter. Every thought, action, and deed imparts energy into the greater whole. Honor yourself and you honor the whole.

What are you seeking, yearning for, desiring, needing? Turn inward today and begin a new practice, breathing into the heart chakra, instigating a new awakening of emotional content, deepening your connection to yourself. With awakening heart the seeking, yearning, desiring, needing slips away and love, kindness and compassion begin to emerge and take their place. Soon all becomes clear and there is no need for anything else. A path with heart begins in your own heart. Turn inward and take the first steps there today. Just breathe!

Who is perfect? Though we strive for perfection no one is perfect. We are all human and to be human is to be fallible and imperfect. It is the human condition. And yet we still strive to be what we are not. Far better to strive to be what we are: Spiritual beings taking a human journey. Far better to focus on what compassion is than perfection. Far better to learn what unconditional love is and to strive for that. Begin with your imperfections and love them for what they teach you. Begin with kindness for the self and know that human condition first. It’s a good place to start.
