There is a book of knowledge and wisdom and grace. Its pages are filled with great love, unwavering compassion, deep sorrow, and piercing suffering. What is the name of the book? Where can it be purchased?
The book's name is woven with mystery, magic, and grace. It is not found in any bookstore or on the shelves of a library. It is not available as an ebook. In fact, this book hasn’t even been published. It is written in each moment of every day by the experiences of our soul on the pages of our heart.
Consciously, and unconsciously, we choose the topics, the plot, and each resolution. Although an event or person may appear unexpectedly, we decide how to weave them into our story. Sometimes this weave is uneven reaction; at other times, it is a seamless transition weave of response. No matter how uneven or seamless, we learn from each reaction and response.
Although we are the author of our unique book, its unfolding is by no means a solo venture. We gather ink of wisdom, love, and grace wherever we are and whomever we connect with. In fact, each page reflects the ways we shine our truest, most best self in the moment. We seek wisdom, we keep wisdom, we write our story sharing our knowledge, wisdom, and grace with our self and the world.
To be a wisdom keeper and a wisdom seeker is to be the power behind the unfolding tale. While we may be shaken by disheartening events and unexpected shifts in our plot line, we do not give up. We travel the detour looking for meaning and opportunity in what happens. As we heal from inevitable wounds inflicted, we rise to greet the next moment with wisdom and grace. That is all that is required.
Each day brings an ending and a beginning. We knot the words of what is done while blessing the learnings. We tie on new threads of grace welcoming each colorful strand as a new opportunity to learn and grow and live. But, mostly, we weave ink to paper knowing that each day is time unfolding bringing us closer to the grace of who we are. We share the treasure that we are with the world. That treasure? An outpouring of peace, compassion, and joy.
In this newness, I wish you an infinity of ability to gain wisdom and live large in each unfolding moment.
