Really quick here, I have two dogs to bathe before I get myself off to work for the afternoon...I got a new book. I was so excited to get this book. For SO many reasons. I needed something to occupy my mind with. I needed some kind of relief for my brain. I need to remind myself DAILY, that this path I have chosen is OK, that I am OK. Everything is ok. (And even when it's not ok, it's ok.) (Kudos to my other friend for that one)
So the book is called the Yamas and Niyamas. It's about the ethical practice of yoga. Yoga is not only for the body...it is for the mind and the soul, and your surroundings...It's huge really. It brings the body and the mind together to work in unison, so many of us are out of unison and we don't even know it. So I like to just open the book and see what I open to when I get them, just a weird quirk of mine. I got this excerpt about Discontentment being the illusion that there is something else in "the moment". It then went onto say that the moment is complete, it needs nothing. In other words...it is what it is. This just in- it is what it is folks...So the end of the paragraph about this contentment stuff says we rest in contentment when we understand that life comes at us complete. In each moment.
Sit with that...what does that make you feel like, knowing that each moment that happens to us is just that what happens to us. And if we just take it and accept it we own it, and we will be ok, in that moment and in the next and the next...
Deep, yet simple I think. So even while the children are being rambunctious while I type this...it's ok. I accept it, it is what the moment has given me. And the moment after...will be fine too.
I hope you find your contentment today and everyday. Know that we are all whole and complete and we can be content too if we just allow it to happen.
light for your day and pearls in your pocket..
