I felt rather creaky after my yoga class tonight and have just got out of a lovely warm bath laced with rosemary oil. I am snuggled in the centre of my universe, my black four-poster bed, full of comfy purple pillows, covered in a white mosquito net moving gently in the breeze of the fan. I am thinking about how comfy my world is at the moment, and how I love feeling so content and the centre of everything.
My life is shiny and flowing and I am asking myself about what the cause is. My life has not changed: same house, same housemate, same kitties, same job, same dreamy loved one :) As you all know, my sunglasses are pretty darn rose-colored to start with.
I am reminded of a story which Roberto Moussi told on the theta-healing course I attended in Beirut last week. Roberto is the insightful husband of my soulsister Junaline, who encouraged me to start writing this blog in the first place. At second thoughs,"attend" is really not the right word to use for that course. I breathed it in like the sweet air of my native country's Karoo, I assimilated it into my system like the purest honey sucked from the comb, I drank it down like a delicate pink sparkling wine with the finest of bubblies tickling my nose. A culmination of the last 25 years' of life experience, like a bouquet of beautiful flowers elegantly arranged together in 3 days, with the addition of the fabulous sweet Gardinias of Beirut!
I suspect you will hear many stories from there, but here is the first. It is attributed to Marci Shimoff.
A happy dog walks down the street, looking for a good place with friendly companions to stay. He is pointed to a house further down the street and when he pushes open the door, the house is filled with shiny-eyed dogs wagging their tails at him in welcome. The house's walls are covered in mirrors, and the dog is seeing himself. He thinks this is truly a very convivial place.
Now imagine a grumpy dog walking into the same abode, what happens? He finds a space filled with irritable growling dogs and experiences it a little hostile and not very welcoming at all.
Well, that is simply how the universe works. If we take care of our own well-being and joy, the world will be a good place to be in. If we are grumpy and moody and critical, there will be plenty of faults to find. As they say,'Two men behind prison bars, the one saw mud, the other stars'.
It's the same world. What your perception of it is and the choices you make based on those perceptions, are up to you only.
Dear ones, I wish that today my love for my life may be contagious, and that you may all experience the world smiling back at you!
