Could experience be for humans what erosion is for elements? Is the purpose of experience, over a lifetime, to carry us to what matters and then wear us away till we become part of the sweet water the next generation drinks? If this is so, then what is the work of being human?

Is it possible that with each inhalation we take in the world and also awaken our soul? And with each exhalation do we free ourselves of the world which inevitably entangles us? Is this how we fill up and empty a hundred times a day, seeking the gift of the two breaths? Perhaps this is the work of being.

When we are no longer identified with the personal self, we can plant seeds of intention in the vast intelligent awareness that we all share. In this way, we align with the natural creative force of life, that living energy of creation and manifestation. The gardener in us must intentionally sow the wise seeds.

Kuan-yin, whose name means, “hearing the cries of the world”, reminds us to refine our listening from head to heart. Can we not turn away when the world cries out?

When we have the courage to not waste our gifts, we have opened to the blessings of life. Coming from this grateful feeling, we harvest the grace of each moment. The art of blessing what is moves us to the Divine YES.

To grow, we must be willing to embrace the necessary change and allow ourselves to evolve into a new consciousness. This evolutionary imperative must happen moment by eternal moment where only the coming is sacred, as Emerson would say.

When we accept what is, we are in alignment with what happens. This inner nonresistance enables us to meet what is with equanimity. When we arrive at this profound acceptance we are free to be the holding space that ultimately heals.

A new consciousness is arising even as the old dissolves. Could our doing come from an awakened purpose where the “me” has become the “we” and our actions naturally unfold from the servants heart?

Let's share our heart and soul as we explore a world of possibilities once the heart and mind awaken together. Imagine a compassionate world if you can.
