Inspired by embracing Creation’s trust …

#MicroReflection
To create is a central blessing with which we are entrusted by Creation. This responsibility is a significant reminder that even if we are unaware of this or deny it, we are still creating. When we do so without intention, we must confront that what we create may in fact not be good for ourselves, need alone those with whom we journey in life. Awakening to this blessing, therefore, is an important milestone not just individually, but collectively.

Inspired by moments when all we can offer is a presence gentle …

#MicroReflection
Being present and offering gentleness is one of the most amazing strengths I have seen displayed and modelled during some of life’s hardest moments. Whether in grief or anger, this resilient kindness has served to bridge what otherwise might have become more difficult and fraught with hurt. Being this presence requires intention and grounding. I pray we all find ways to be gentle with ourselves and one another. Being this way offers healing in the midst of the hurting that occurs as our days unfold.

Inspired by being what we value …

#MicroReflection
What is most valuable to you?
What do we mean by value?

Often the word ‘value’ is dressed in words around finance and money. Sometimes it is understood as an exchange of something for something, tit for tat, quid pro quo. I find this much too superficial when considered through the lens of self-reflection and the practices of a spiritual life.

I invite us to consider a more intentional engagement with the word. What we do in our lives, not what we spend or say helps us begin to identify what we value.

If we reflect on our time spent today, what does it reveal about what we value?

Inspired by enigmas that questions unlock …

#MicroReflection
Often, we think that the clarity that questions invite will make things easier or simpler once an answer is revealed. Sometimes this is the case. Usually, I have found, in life’s journey we live in places and spaces that are less about clarity and more about choosing to live in the comfort of ambiguity. When we arrive at this place of balance, then we can begin to explore what wisdom might be surfacing and how we might share it to the benefit of ourselves and others.

Inspired by listening to silence’s wisdom …

#MicroReflection
Silence and talking, listening and speaking are often placed in opposition to one another. In the loud lull that often pervades our lives, from tv to YouTube, there is no denying this reality. Yet, at the core to the inward journey is the gift to be present to hear that which words alone cannot say and to hear what our bodies say without speaking. In these holy places and moments revelations arise that helps us in our own realisation of our and Others’ beauty.

Inspired by seeing where fear growth reveals …

#MicroReflection
What are the moments that have revealed unexpected learning to you?
What emotions inspire you?
Worry you?

That which we experience, and the resulting feelings are blessings. Whether fear or joy, our emotions are a response to the gift of life. They encapsulate and embody our essence. Embracing them as teachings offered is an important step upon the journey to awakening. Such awareness reveals that we are meant to create. In such revelation, our dreams connect us to one another in ways that allows us to brightly blaze.
