An Affirmation on Trust

Trust

Life has a rhythm and a process and I am
part of its perfect current. My life has a path
and a purpose and I am continually expand-
ed and delighted by my awareness as it
grows. I trust that Life is loving and support-
ive of me, providing me with everything I
need to reach my greatest good. I know all
that I need to know for right now and I trust
that Life will provide me with all of the revela-
tion I need at just the right time. I cease stri-
ving and relax my mind. I change my posture
to being open and ready to receive. I am calm
knowing that I am exactly where I should be
at this moment. Life becomes effortless and
sweet. I am free to enjoy life.

Change is a Miracle

I was in a quaint, little cafe Saturday morning with two friends. The week had been so busy...the pace of life had been so fast that I had lost touch with my inner state of balance. As they where talking around me, I allowed myself to disconnect, to go within and try to find my center.

As my friends continued to talk, I gazed at the leaves on a tree just outside the window and all of the sounds around me began to grow more and more distant.

Suddenly, as my being began to open up, I had a realization. I noticed that everything around me was ALIVE, everything was CHANGING every second...reinventing themselves, evolving, growing. I started to look around as the revelation blossomed inside of me. I noticed the steam swirl and rise from my friend's coffee, which was changing in temperature by the moment. The little vase of flowers in front of me was trembling gently in the moving air in the room, changing more and more since they had been plucked from their homes. The water in my glass was evaporating. The light outside was changing.

All of this pointed my heart to the truth in every moment, the truth in embracing every single moment, every single day as a gift, never having been lived before. How important it is to regard ourselves as new, more evolved beings every day. How important it is to embrace everything there is to embrace in THE NOW, the fleeting now, far too precious to overlook. The now is full of change and change is a miracle, a gift, that creates mystery and excitement.
