Last night after a Compassion Conversation, a woman came up
to me and simply said, “I want to be like you.”
A cascade of emotions tumbled through me — a wash of fear
and unworthiness that morphed into self-compassion. As the emotions settled into the center of my
being, humility filled me. As I realized
that I had touched the divine spark of another, gratitude sparked forth.
What the woman saw in me and heard in my words was the
result of the glow of my divine spark. I
realized yet again that when I connect with the Sacred, my inner light shines
through the veil of illusion. I become
my true, best self. I view my human
frailties not as absolute failures but as challenges to meet and overcome on
the journey.
Challenges are only met and Compassion Conversations engaged
through my connection to the Sacred Source.
This reconnecting often begins with a prayer — a silent statement of my
intent. Then I envision the sacred
energy swirling around me and flowing into my pores. This immersion into the Divine tints my words
with iridescent grace.
As my divine ember sparks, I am no longer sure where I end
and the Sacred begins. And, I chuckle
realizing that the Sacred flows through me in constant connection. I am not separate. Through this connection my message is grace
filled and gently touches the divine sparks of others. We engage in a conversation beyond
words. Through this connection, I engage
in communion.
I want to be like me, too.
I want to be the me that connects in communion to the Sacred found in my self, each person, and each aspect of the world.
Namaste,
Vanessa
