Have you noticed the perfection you’re looking for is never ever actually reached.
Even the most organised and driven person never quite gets ‘there’.
There is always a home to clean, a car to fix, a diy to sort, a bill to pay, an unexpected issue, annoying relative, or drama…
A kind of on a ‘hamster wheel’ of… “when this is all sorted, then I’ll feel content”.
When in fact the peace you seek, is in the inclusion of it all, exactly as it is.
Yes! I’m not joking (well maybe Life is ;).
Imagine watching a Soap Opera or Movie and wishing there to be no spilled milk, drama or plot twists… Boring right!
Life is exactly this way too… WOW.
However, we often view it as a serious problem that must be put into neat boxes, piles and files.
Spending a lifetime attempting to fix ourselves, those around us and our environment.
There was a choice to be here, to experience the everyday ups & downs, situations and emotions.
There is a choosing of this body you call yourself and all the ‘others’ here too.
Yes, Infinite YOU chose all of IT!
You also chose to forget and to re-member.
Why?…
…Why not!
However, if we are unconscious to this fact, things will appear and feel heavy, messy and serious.
This does not mean that we leave everything to wrack & ruin…
It’s in seeing that doing our taxes, cleaning the home, having strong boundaries and so on, are all part of this play too.
Yes you have this “cast member” with its personality traits, it’s blushed face and back twinges…
You also have these “others” and this world…
But more importantly than this, YOU are the viewer of it all ‘playing’ out.
This viewer is so subtle, yet glaringly obvious. It’s not something we reach, it is here now in the seeing and inclusion of it ALL.
The perceived mess, the character, the others, the world… Is then recognised as the utter perfection.
The Love and the Peace…
How Perfect.
