What lies inside you at your core? And beneath that? And then deeper than even that? Empty the self one layer at a time, one emotional blockage at a time, one driving need at a time until you arrive at your emptiness. Then fill yourself with all that is good, with loving kindness and compassion for self and other, remaining open to give and receive all that is meant for you, for it is in the emptying and the receiving that you will truly learn how to finally give without attachment, to love with compassion, and to be kind without desire.

Face all that you have to face about the self and yet keep moving in a forward direction, for life does not move backwards but once sparked alive knows only growth until its light goes out. A tree springing forth from the darkness of the earth seeks always the light in the sky, the wind in its branches, the rain upon its leaves, striving always to go higher and higher. The human spirit too seeks the light, the mysteries all around, and the resolution of all that is within, bringing forth its beauty and bounty to culminate in the fruits of a life lived one day at a time, striving always for truth, love, and compassion, within and without. That is a life well lived. Begin this week in that vein, a human spirit on a higher mission, seeking always the answers in the light of day and the dark of night, within and without.

A state of love is the place to be. Pristine as clear mountain air, as light as a summer breeze, let it flow through you and beyond you, connecting you like the wind connects all worlds, above and below, to the finest things in life. For all beings, let your love shine like the sun in the day and the moon and stars at night. Give love, live love, be loving—it’s a wonderful way to be.

You matter. Nothing else will matter until you accept your role in the greater world and the greater universe by first accepting yourself as a person of consequence. You may not think you affect the world but you do. Every thought, action and deed has impact. All energy affects all other energy, just as the wind affects the leaves in the trees, which affect the vibration of plant life down into the earth. Just as when your own hair is ruffled by a breeze, just as when the wind touches your skin, so do you affect what is around you. Everything about you matters, so take yourself very seriously. Make what matters matter more in positive ways by the loving choices you make every day. Spread your love, but love yourself most of all. That’s what truly matters.
