Know your heart’s intent and align with it as the moon and planets align, eternal configurations lighting the night sky, guiding you onward as you sail across the seas of life. Like a ship’s navigator trust that the light in your heart, set there by your own knowing of what is right, will bring you to your destiny. One heart’s intent, firmly set, brings fulfillment to many. Know your heart, know your truth, trust its guidance and yet remain always aware and alert to troubled waters and dangerous currents. For a good and wise heart in combination with practical knowledge and experience are all necessary components of a successful voyage. Good sailing!

True contentment will only be found within the self. Something placed there long ago that you’ve forgotten about seeks to connect with you, your secret self, your true self who has the answers to all your yearnings. It is in going within, rather than going without, that your true purpose will be discovered. And once you’ve found it you will never feel lost, discontented, or uneasy again, for you will be at peace. Is it not time to take that journey, the journey to peace within? Is that not what you really seek?

As a New Year begins, call a ceasefire on the inner battles, the outer turmoils, the unrelenting pounding of the old thoughts, the persistent waging of war against the self. Turn your cheek and walk toward the quiet contemplative life on the other side of the moon where only peace rages and the only fight is to find enough quiet time so that you may practice sitting in stillness with empty mind and quiet heart, with the intention of becoming a being at one with all things, within and without. In quiet contemplation, walk anew in the sun’s light and make peace at every step. You can do it, for the path of peace begins within!

Life is full of disappointments, changes, unasked for trials, but rather than wallow in self-pity stand up tall and ask, “What is the reason, the meaning, the why in this?” Like a warrior take on life, no matter its trials and tribulations, with a fearless heart, a strong mind, and a firm conviction that there is meaning in everything, and then seek it out. For indeed, that is life’s unfolding, a constant deepening into the meaningfulness of it all. It’s where life takes you whether you want to go or not, into the deeper meaning. Grab onto life as it comes and wring the living gifts out of it, for they are there to be found even in the most devastating of happenings. Take life one day at a time, one step at a time, one heartbeat at a time, staying always on the path of meaning. It’s the right one.

Let generosity never go out of fashion. Kindness should never become a rare gem. To please another is to please the self. To bear the tension of times of change without malice is the epitome of loving kindness. That’s where your energy should go now, into staying humanely respectful and respecting, full of generous spirit, though you must also bear the pain of transformation because that’s what’s happening now, real transformation in the world. Get ready. Stay steady. Be loving, always.
