I was guided to this book shortly after the full moon. Although the sky was illuminated, a lot of darkness and anxiety arose within me. I found solace in these words while the moon filled my being with the light it needed to face my feelings. I am five days away from moving to a new state to start a brand new cycle. While I'm in the midst of chaos, I know this time is transitory. It's the in between that makes me uncomfortable; I simply wanted to be settled into my new beginning. So I'm working on embracing exactly what is, even if what is is terribly difficult. Leaving behind loved ones and the comfort of home is heart-wrenching, but it's also teaching me so much. I am growing daily into the strongest version of myself by facing my feelings and stepping forward into a chapter that honors my light and potential. Oftentimes, when we rush through a period that is tough to face, we miss out on the lessons. So, with the stillness this prayer brought me, I came back to my heart. I surrendered to the present moment even if it was filled with angst and anxiety. Angst and anxiety are my biggest teachers right now, telling me I'm about to do something really brave and difficult. I'm sitting with the fear for now. I am facing the what ifs and hows with the only thing I can: utter faith. Faith that this really big leap will usher me further into my purpose. I don't have to know what lies ahead; the beauty is in the mystery. All I have to do is follow my heart even if it requires a huge leap. I know I'll land on both my feet. I know Spring always comes. For now I thank this cycle for all it's been (and hasn't been), because it's been what I needed: a chance to follow what my heart tells me to no matter how tough it is to let go. Thank you, Arizona for being the launching pad to my open heart, purpose and inner calling. #prayer #tao #purpose #adventure #bookofprayers #faith #wisdom #openheart #change (at Comanche Park)
