The Encouragement of Light

I have been living in the presence of a beautiful amaryllis this week. I planted it after Christmas and now it is bursting with colour.

Every day I spend some time with it. There’s so much to learn from flowers. Clearly, this amaryllis knows what it takes to blossom…a little water, a lot of light and some loving attention from me!

Here is a beautiful poem by Hafiz that a new friend shared with me recently.

How did the rose
Ever open its heart

And give to this world
All its beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light
Against its being.

Otherwise,
We all remain too frightened.

I loved hearing from some of you about the meaning and the ease you found in last week’s practice.

Creating This Moment
Say to your self, “I am creating this moment”. Then simply notice.
Where does your attention turn? How does your body feel? What are you inspired to do next?

I encourage you to continue using “Creating this Moment” this week. If you use it several times each day, it will allow the light to begin to influence your daily choices.

Let me know what you discover!
