Australia Rilke's advice: "Write about what your everyday life offers you; describe your sorrows and desires, the thoughts that pass through your mind and your belief in some kind of beauty" / / https://www.karenlangauthor.com/
How often do we drift and fall into a story of the mind? A memory from the past A fear or projection in the future Or a story on repeat from an event we had this morning Where are you now? To be fully aware means we must open our hearts and invite every experience in Only then can our minds be free

Here
Stepping into the unknown I feel a rush of anxiety My mind urges me to leave I push ahead, I try to ignore my thoughts They return, Are you sure? What if you are wrong? I move forward, More determined, Suddenly a wave of courage and strength arise I am not alone I can do this In this space, Everything is possible

The Unknown
In the stillness I feel I listen I face my truth In the stillness I see I acknowledge my needs I let go In the stillness I receive I rejuvenate I heal In the stillness I reconnect I am one with everything

Find Meaning
We have a unique opportunity during this time To expand A wave of consciousness has arrived to expand our way of being with life, with ourselves, with each other It's here to change and challenge our old beliefs and our way of life It's uncomfortable It's confronting It's necessary And as we slow down We will see ourselves more deeply We will see others more deeply We will become aware of our higher self our higher purpose And in this space We will expand together

Expand
I am here Where else can I go? My mind can pull me My mind can take me My mind can confuse me But I stay in stillness I stay focused on my breath I stay in this moment I am here Nowhere else to be With life With it all With nothing I am here

Presence
What if all our heaviness Our pain Our tiredness Our chaos Our separation Simply is here, because we cannot see our need to surrender to our truth to our wounds to our brokenness to our separateness, To our freedom within....

Surrender
If we were taught That facing and feeling our pain, our loss, our heartache, our deep grief was the key to our freedom was the opening of the cocoon was the portal to the stars was feeling the luminous light of the moon and the warmth of the sun and made more room for love for joy for hope for resilience Would we do it?

Feeling Deeply
Always keep what is true in front of you Make space to bear this truth Step by Step Let go of what you have always known or believed would happen and allow space to see this truth, this beautiful broken truth

TRUTH
For us to learn We must let go of our need to be right For us to let go of our busyness We must learn to become still For us to learn our truth We must surrender our control For us to heal We must admit we are sick For us to live fully We must accept that we will die
