I was having morning tea with friends and family on the weekend, and it was such a delight to catch up and be reminded of the love we share. As we sipped coffee in the sunshine at Nobby’s Beach
Sinking into the compassion of extending love while basking in the warmth of communion, the depth of my gratitude for these people and that they would hold me in esteem as a matriarch of the group, moved me to what felt like an explosion of my heart.
I watched the youngest amongst us kiss my friend on her wrinkled neck with such abando
I saw unconditional love as I have only talked of, and wished for him in that moment to remain forever innocent.
We are all given the opportunity to walk back through life on a journey all its own. Forgiveness for the conditioned responses we have picked up over the decades. The beliefs we have made a mantra of, the reasons we hold onto to keep others away from our love and compassion. Reasons that are held dear and close to our heart like barbed wire and jagged glass. It screams stay away; all the while asking for Love.
The extension of compassion is not an act of pity toward another, it comes after excepting your innate inheritance as an extension of the Divine, knowing yourself as that through experience then wanting that to be your default position always.
Become That which you are in Truth, while understanding yourself as a person of interest who has tripped and fallen, grazed knees and broken limbs. The metaphorical knowledge of you as a story and the concentration of what lies between the thoughts rather than the thoughts, gives rise to an inspiratio
I call Love which when directed to yourself is also what compassion is.
This compassion can and is naturally directed outward to life in a way that is unencumbered by conditions.
This is what is meant by what Jesus said in (Mathew 18:3) “Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven” (The Kingdom of heaven being your peace of mind here and now).
Have a wonderful dayr

Becoming my own child
I think I might be on to something. I am well aware that my main struggle in this life is conquering my self-worth. When I first came face to face with that fact, the first tip of advice I read was to create powerful affirmations to revert the pattern. Whenever I caught myself with an emotion that reflected my low self-esteem, I would fight back forcefully with a solid affirmation in the hope that the discomfort would go away. I wonder if you've ever walked that path.

The light in the middle of the tunnel
Yesterday I hit bottom once again. What’s curious is that each bottom is deeper and darker than the previous one. It seems that all my lightwork is invisible, worthless and useless for this world. The feeling of separation that overflows me is the most overwhelming so far…
