Today I remind myself to commit to my own being, to allow myself to bloom.
Bloom sounds corny as a mantra for today, maybe not so sophisticated as
om mani padme hum - a sure fire eliminator of suffering, but just the word "bloom" works for me. It reminds me I'm worthy of being myself, that everybody and everything is worthy of being, and that when we let go of our attachment to the glamour of suffering we can realize the truth of compassion for all of what's happening.
It helps to stick with what we know; when we look around, really take the time and clear the mind and see everything as it is, we realize we're surrounded by love, pure being. It's helpful to develop a healthy respect for the being of everyone else, to see those around us, especially those that make us feel conflicted as our teachers. We can make a commitment to notice when we feel strained, tight around someone else, and to realize that that is the time to really notice them and to listen to what they may be saying.
A nice afternoon nap helps with the blooming too.
Today is good time to relax, relax, relax, to get in touch with all our teachers and to let ourselves bloom. When we bloom we catch God smiling at us.
Today I look for the smiles of creation everywhere as I move around in it.
