The act of opening...

It has been my experience that there are many things possible in this world. Many things are possible within me and my outer world is attracted as a reflection of that. When I do the work internally I create a wider range of possibilities. And at the same time it takes me putting myself out there to get the value. If I stay internally focused and fascinated, the process is only partially generated. It takes action to bridge the gap between what's possible and what I manifest.

Like these anemones reaching their tentacles out into the tide, putting myself out there is how I get the manifestations of what's possible. It's how I receive the external benefits of my inner work. When the anemone stays closed it misses the nutrients passing by. When I stay closed I miss the multitude of gifts all around me. All it takes is me opening, reaching out and taking hold of what is there all the time.

There is a beauty and grace to the anemone. And so too is there a grace to the process of opening. Of reaching out and gathering. To openly receiving. Unfurling, swaying in the tide. Tuning in to the natural flow.

  1. This is so beautiful and resonant to me. It doesn't take a lot of fitful running around, but it does take the act of opening. Of reaching out. Then all the world can come to your receptivity!
