How amazing, to be able to drop our conditioning. To see that that life is full of so much more, than we ever imagined. From seeing it as a straight path, from childhood to old age.
Going through various stages and responsibilities like everybody else. Doing the right thing and adapting to the norms set by society. Trying to fulfil others’ expectations in the hope of validation and acceptance but fearing criticism and rejection at all times. Making plans and schedules. Full of questions that never got answered since we were children.
But now with the help of Grace to be able to do an about turn and see that Life is beautiful, full of magic and wonder. Life is about dropping resistance and control and accepting and embracing all as it comes. The joys, the challenges, the setbacks, the completions. Embracing the darkness and finding the space to bring in light. The tears and the laughter. The pain and the peace. Above all, finding the precious shades of silence and its meaning in so many areas of our lives. To be not afraid of silence any more, but to see it in a different light. The silence within and outside.
To be able to hear silence speak in a language without words. Be it in Nature, or within us. To see how silence can be more eloquent than words. A mother rocking her baby to sleep, silently, enveloping it with a love so tender and secure. Lovers sitting silently allowing their peace, joy and togetherness to envelop them in an embrace beyond words. A friend silently sharing the grief or heartbreak of another, in silence. Letting our spirits soothe and be calm and so so much more. Being in a silence, not to seek answers but to let the questions dissolve. For it is in silence that the Divine speaks to us without words. Letting His love calm and soothe us, guide and hold us, allowing us to accept and align our will to his. Life is also about unlearning all that we do not need anymore. To go backwards, sideways, forwards, move any which way which makes us rejoice in the multifaceted journey of the soul. Going back within, to our true home, where we find all we needed and were looking for.
With love,
Akhil
