Creating Your Story
Creating Your Story
Please sit or recline comfortably. Cross your arms over your chest and take two deep breaths. Notice the rising and falling of your chest and stomach. Now, breathe normally. If you feel comfortable, close your eyes.
May we create an artful story of ourselves that enriches our view of life. We can use broad brush strokes for a dramatic mural with bold intentions, or a representation of what has meaning and purpose for us with short strokes of inspiration and joy added to the canvas. May we pay attention to smallness- small steps, missteps, and barely noticed kindnesses and gestures we give and receive to complete the composition. May we add in the brightness of joy while we welcome the depth of the darkness. May we take control of how we feel and put old canvases to rest. May we fall in love with new strokes of goodness, new reasons to be thankful, drawing others toward us with lovingkindness and fresh thoughts of freedom. May we continue to create a masterpiece of compassion, quietly coloring the brilliance of our lives with peace.
We rest in these thoughts and offer this awareness in meditation and prayers in the name of all that is Love.
May it be so
