Ponderings, Poems & Practices
    for Living Your Brilliance!

Hello Dear Ones,

Sequestered in Ecuador has had an interesting feel of being out of time and space. I might have missed last Sunday being Father’s Day if it wasn’t for an inquiry proposed by Lucy, who was leading the group breath-meditation.  She invited us to ponder what thoughts or feeling we now believe to be true, that came from the energetic blueprint we received from our father.  You know, just a light Sunday morning reflection. Lol.

What immediately came to my mind was “I’m not good enough”.  Pretty common belief, right?  Certainly not the first time I’ve seen that!  Throughout the rest of Sunday, and into Monday, I noticed sneaky ways, and not so sneaky ways, the belief “I’m not good enough” still weaves through my inner dialog and the interactions I share with others.

Then, it’s this morning. Tuesday morning.  I am writing in my journal,  I write in bold letters… “I AM NOT ENOUGH!”   And it’s like a lightning-strike of relief.  I laughed out loud. Hallelujah!  I am not enough!!!!  I just am.   I am always just as I am.  Not good enough, and not, not good enough.  Just here, right now. 

And there is a Mystery that breathes me, animates me, moves me. THAT is absolutely enough.

My deepest longing is to open to the flow of Divine Presence; for the Holy to live through me, as me.  And this Holy Presence is always perfectly enough.  This life, this love, this astonishing moment is always just as it is, perfectly enough.

Leaving you with this poem by David Whyte,
and resting in enough,
Sharon
 

Enough. These few words are enough.
If not these words, this breath.
If not this breath, this sitting here.

This opening to life
we have refused
again and again
until now.

Until now.
