FEELING THE ENERGY

     Feeling the breath move in, and feeling the breath move out. Here we are again, being here, getting here, letting thoughts clear, coming back to the heart.
     Questions arise, answered by the breath and our silent presence. A feeling, can I meet the excitement around me, the excitement growing in my body, can I meet it with my whole self? Can I use all this energy, can I use it creatively, honestly, meaningfully? Can I turn the raw energy of life into a heartfelt conversation, can I be as fully in relationship as I am in my private meditations? These are not really questions, they are really my deepest Being announcing what I am intending to do. Our doubts and fears and self-judgements are just commentaries on what we are already doing.
     We are saying, our bodies and breath and inner Being are saying: I want to meet the excitement of life with my whole self. I want to use the energy of today meaningfully, honestly, creatively. I want to bring the energy of self-awareness into relationships with the loved ones in my life.
Here we are breathing, full of energy, with the inspired aspiration to live fully, naturally, compassionately, putting our whole selves into play. Can we do it? Of course! We do it everyday, whether we think so or not.
