I meditated on a rain drop falling from a tiny little leaf today. The breeze gently played with the leaves so I knew it would fall but how long would I have to wait?
The sun was shining so I was willing to put in the time to see nature play out. And it did quite quickly.
The colours of autumn delight my senses. I perceive the warm tones of reds, yellows and browns. Some trees have lost their leaves already and we would think winter is here. But turn around and cornflour yellow is still abundant as it rises from the earth. Ah, beauty is everywhere.
You can find beauty anywhere. I forced myself to find it in a pending battle with another. He displayed the energy of a fighter playing dirty, willing to draw on lies to get his way. Money was in the middle of it all – not much – but it was something he didn’t want to give in to – the thought of losing this little bit of money. By his destructive words and behaviour, he acknowledged that I held the power. But we all hold power in any situation. Power to decide how we will react.
I was tempted to react by retaliation and to call him out on his lies, his disrespect, his threats but I recognised this is a person in pain. He wouldn’t behave like this otherwise. I found the beauty right there. To let go. To recognise that this is simply a distraction from the positive energy I myself am here to emit. I resist becoming embroiled in useless warfare for the sake of being right or a little bit of money that I can easily sacrifice. My Ancestors sacrificed much more for me to be here.
By my actions I stay in love, in peace and in duty to my spiritual growth. If it is not assisting in my evolution, why would I do it?
