Sea

I am the sea.
When the weather is calm my waves roll gently. When stormy winds blow I am wild and out of control. On the surface I am influenced by my surroundings. But I am also deep, and way down beneath my surface is another world. In my depths I have a mysterious and secret world of stillness, silence, beauty, hidden colour and great power.
Instead of dwelling on the surface where I interact with the world outside, I spend time visiting my depths so that I can become resilient to the winds of change.
I am the sea, and I retreat in to the still silent deep waters of my soul.

I am a star.
Up here I am free just to be.
Not to do – to be.
I am way beyond the cares and troubles of the world - I am free just to be. Free to radiate light, for my essence is light and peace. Anyone who looks up at the night sky can feel my peace. I am blissfully detached up here, removed from everything and everyone, just for now.
Occasionally it’s good for the soul just to be.
I love the simplicity up here; the peace.
I am a star, and now is my time to stop activity and just be.

Hourglass

I am an Hourglass.
The master of time has filled my upper chamber with sand; until every grain has trickled into the lower chamber I must be patient. Nothing can hurry or interfere with divine timing.
Each task, each project, each lesson, each process is subject to divine timing. I am learning to live fully in the present as I contemplate each grain passing through the narrow neck and into its place below. The grains fall second by second, moment by moment.
I am an hourglass and I am patient.

I am a feather.
The winds of destiny summon me to my future and my journey continues. I float blissfully along on gentle breezes and upward-spiralling currents of warm air. Sometimes a strong gust catches me unaware, propelling me into the unknown. At other times I lie inert where I have been dumped by violent, battering winds.
A feather has no power to resist the force of the winds. I must simply remain light so that my landing will be painless. My lightness of being allows me to catch hold of even a slight puff of wind, so that I can follow my destiny.
I am a feather and I relax into the journey.

Open Palm

I am an Open Palm.
I accept everything that life offers me. No opportunity is missed. I am able to receive the next gift because I have let go of the previous one.
Sometimes I hold on too tightly, afraid that no more gifts will come my way. By holding on I block other possibilities and I risk crushing what I hold so tightly in my clenched fist.
I allow all things to come and go, and cherish them while they are in my safekeeping.
I am an open palm and I let go.
