Feeling Lost?
Stand still
Feeling lost? I stumbled across this poem today and it inspired me so much, I had to share:
Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
A poem by David Wagoner
Moral of the story:
You cannot sleepwalk into your destiny... you must wake up and pay attention. Stand still. The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you. This is about trusting the process, trusting that everything will unfold exactly as it should. This is about being present to where you are, now.
If you pay real attention, unless you have an ability to create silence in your body you'll get too frightened, because all the voices inside you will drown out any real change, you have a 1000 voices and reasons not to do it.
Your ability to cultivate profound silence is being called upon here, and with profound silence and relaxed awareness, your attention can flower into something else:
Divine awareness and soul guided wisdom.
