TODAY'S QUOTE:
It takes vision and courage to create - it takes faith and courage to prove...
Owen D. Young
The creation of art in any form is like giving birth, and every offering is precious to its parent. All of us may not possess the talent it takes to become mainstream masters, but everyone can create their own masterpiece. I call it rebirth; this sacred art of recreation is intimidating, empowering, terrifying... and oh so magical. In every way that matters the date of a rebirth is more worthy of celebration than a birthday.
One date is accidental... the other most deliberate. One is created by others... the other is constructed by you. One is of the body... the other belongs to the soul. Birth happens to you... rebirth occurs inside of you. You cannot do the second without doing the first, but that doesn't make your birth more valuable. You don't remember the experience of being born. The magical quality of that sacred occurrence is felt by others, it's true, and the celebration of your very existence is a thing of wondrous proportions.
Rebirth isn't about existing. Really living is the reward of breaking out of the shell that life and circumstances builds between your brain, heart, and soul. The cracking starts slowly, giving you time and space to adjust to your ever changing reality. Each ray of light illuminates something newly discovered about who you really are underneath all the labels you either inherited, earned fairly, or been branded with by other's.
The lessons never end, but that's a blessing. Relaxing into a new mindset doesn't stop the souls need for you to dig deeper or the hearts ache for total understanding. Learning isn't over even after all the parts are connected and at perfect ease with each other. In a most magical way you'll continue to create and recreate in an attempt to perfect and project an internal image that makes sense of all your struggles. Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
