I believe I have said this many times, that we can create a profound and unexplainable inner peace with an attitude of gratitude. I remembered today how much I loved watching the RAINBOW and the immense joy and gratitude I feel to see this miracle each single time it shows up. This summer when I took a trip to Miami with my children, after a very rainy afternoon, my daughter and I stepped out into the balcony to be greeted by such a miracle. Our room faced the oceanfront, and there right in front of our eyes, the most grand and majestic rainbow, a double rainbow actually. I do not know if I can articulate in words the magic I felt in my heart as I appreciated this beautiful magnificent sight in front of me.
I know the story of Noah and how the rainbow was a sign of God’s grace….I thought about the thunderstorms in my life from time to time…some quite intense…how could we ride this believing afterwards a miracle awaits. While we are undergoing the rains in our life, we could still appreciate the rainbow that is coming afterwards if we can keep our faith alive and surrender to the works of nature which is magnificent.
I feel at PEACE at this moment as I write this blog, I have had tremendous inner growth recently, a push into the fire you could say to learn about faith, and to learn about letting go and just trust and have faith. I heard Ester Hicks through a random YouTube video describe the analogy of paddling upstream of a strong river going downhill…she said, we created that strong stream, so why are we not going with the flow downhill towards what is our destiny, what we want and created…but instead we work and work our butts off trying to go uphill just exhausted with the ‘work’ we seem to think we ‘must’ do to accomplish our purpose. I tell you, I let go, I was so exhausted…and it is amazing how stubborn the mind can be, it can be amazing how unaware we are that it is our stubborn mind keeping us from letting go and just ‘allowing’ the river to take us to our destiny easily and effortlessly…which is how it should be.
I know we are all students of raising our awareness and consciousness of our own universe and we all have colorful paths but in the end we are all riding that same rainbow, all of us at different levels and speeds but all learning how to just let go….and let’s do this with gratitude. Are you facing tremendous stress and pressure today, you are not alone my friend, just look into your heart and let go and know the very stress that you are ‘working’ at is there to teach you to let go and stop paddling….just ride the rainbow…
Much gratitude
