I used to think if someone was bold it meant they wore bright colors, that "bold" referred to a fearlessness that was limited to fashion. Now I'm realizing that being bold involves being relaxed and gentle, that when you are bold you are brave, not in the sense of being brass, but in the sense of self exposure, allowing yourself to be out there as yourself, open and revealed.
I've been thinking about hearts and angels; visualizing an angel's folded wings as forming the shape of a heart at my heart - if I were an artist, like Pat Olchefski-Winston, my brilliant friend who painted the bear for the cover of Bear Speaks, I would be able to draw it - this fantastical shape of angel wings centered in the human heart, my heart, opening it gently.
I don't know much about angels - but the concept of them is bold and comforting at the same time. Angels represent an unlimited expression of being; they defy time and space. It occurs to me that angels are all over the place, taking the form of people who are here to help. In other words we act as angels for each other whether or not we realize it.
Angels as expressions of love take many forms, some realized, some random, yet always lovely and supportive of being - the whole being the all - us. Us supporting us - beings of light with the power to transform and heal.
Today I am bold as I recognize that power and express it to its fullest intent - glad to be "out there," relieved to get past the smoke screens that distract us from the unlimited expression of our potential.
Happy Saturday!!!
