DAY ELEVEN 

 

A final inspiration:

I bless the night that nourished my heart
To set the ghosts of longing free
Into the flow and figure of dream
That went to harvest from the dark
Bread for the hunger no one sees.

All that is eternal in me
Welcomes the wonder of this day,
The field of brightness it creates
Offering time for each thing
To arise and illuminate.

I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Waves of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.

May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.

May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.

DAY TEN

 

Today’s inspiration:

 

Find the warrior within and listen to what she says:
I am free. I am cosmic. I can change.
I am beautiful.
I am calm. I am grounded. I am worthy.
I am ecstatic. I am capable. I am confident.
I can follow through.
I am electric and empowered.
I am a winner.
I am messy and imperfect.
I can make nourishing decisions.
I am not my parents or my society.
I am an alchemist, creator, and magic-maker.
I am love.
I am ​a sparkle in the dark.
I am life.
I am me and it is enough

DAY NINE

 

Today’s inspiration:

 

Today when the heart is a small, tight knot,
I do not try to untangle it. I don’t tug on the strings
in a desperate attempt to unravel it.
I don’t even wonder at how it got so snarled.
Instead, I imagine cradling it, cupping it
with my hands like something precious,
something wounded, a bird with a broken wing.
I cradle my heart like the frightened thing it is.
I imagine all the other frightened hearts
and imagine them all being held in love.
And I breathe. I breathe and feel
how the breathing invites a spaciousness.
I breathe and let myself be moved by the breathing
as I open and soften. Open and soften.
And nothing changes. And everything changes.
The heart, still a knot, remembers
it knows how to love. It knows it is not alone.

DAY EIGHT

 

Today’s inspiration:

 

i dive into the well of my body
and end up in another world
everything i need
already exists in me
there’s no need
to look anywhere else
– home

Release and Let Go

DAY SEVEN

 

Today’s inspiration:

At some point, you have to let go and trust. 

Trust that it’s as it will be, 

that you are enough, 

that you’re loveable,

that you’ll be okay.

At some point, you have to stop bracing against the wind and just flow instead. 

See where it carries you, trust it’s where you need to be 

and that you’ll never have regrets​ if 

you would only release yourself to the magic.

Release yourself to the magic and let go.

You’re holding on too tight.

It was never yours to control.

DAY SIX

Today’s inspiration:

She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

DAY FOUR

 

Today’s inspiration:

“ People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle. ”

DAY THREE:

 

Today’s inspiration:

" The heart of the universe pulses in all hearts.

There is One who is the life in all forms.

There is One who is joyful in simply existing

In all bodies,

As all bodies.

 

Explore the life that is the life of your present form.

One day you will discover

It is not different

From the life of the Secret One,

And your heart will sing triumphant songs

Of being at home everywhere. "

DAY ONE

 

Today’s inspiration:

 “As far, verily, as this world-space extends, so far extends the space within the heart. Within it, indeed, are contained both heaven and earth, both fire and wind, both sun and moon, lightning and the stars, both what one possesses here and what one does not possess; everything here is contained within it.”
