(The view outside my writing cottage at 6:15am this morning)
Okay, some of you committee members in my head need to go on vacation. I’ve had about all I need to hear from you for a good, long time. You’ve been heard. I acknowledge you. Now find yourself a peaceful place to reside.
As I closed my eyes last night, I asked those pestering and loud members that seem to reside on the left side of my brain to please take a break.
The members on the right side of my brain, where it is so much more peaceful, raised their white flags as a symbol to the left side that they have been heard. We surrender — meaning we don’t have the answers for you, but that we understand your role in the community.
The community and its committee members that make up the whole of who I am. Me, Barbara Techel. All these parts, the good and the bad, the frustrating and the peaceful, the happy and the sad, each member important to my evolution of growth.
But the committee members who want immediate answers to life’s challenges have been making way too much noise lately. So I surrender to them. I see you. I hear you. But now it is time for you to see and hear what the other members in the committee have to share.
And so I surrendered as I drifted off to sleep last night… to more peace, joy and honoring of self.
As I stepped out of my bedroom patio doors heading for my writing cottage this morning, I realized my prayers from the night before were heard.
“” See,” the right and creative side of my committee members said to the left side members, there is peace when you surrender.
The proof and the only answer you need is right before you. A new dawn.
When you surrender to not having to know all the answers, the answer reveals itself in the light and promise of a new day — a new day to live in peace and joy, and the true whispers of your heart.
What’s that I hear from all my committee members? Ahhhh, silence. Welcome, and please stay a good long while.
As always, I welcome your comments…
