One day Cammie and I were discussing some sort of spiritual phenomena and she says to me, "Well...Ms. XYZ (revered spiritual leader) says...(fill in, whatever it was)." Then she pauses for a moment and adds, "Of course, that was in the same book where she wrote a whole chapter on gnomes and leprachauns." *chuckles*
At first glance, that may just seem like a humorous moment between her and I, and there are so many. But, what I totally adore about my daughter is that she has the wherewithal to be open to so much, and honor and respect all of it; yet, she is able to distinguish what resonates and works for her Self. Namaste, Dear Cammie.
What's my point?
I often challenge my students to enter my classes with minds and hearts much like a colander. At the end of a class, I'll ask them to shake it out. And whatever "sticks," belongs to them and is what they are meant to take with them...
I wonder what would/could happen if we all went out into the world today with the minds, bodies, and spirits of beautiful colanders? Just a thought...
This is me today. Like?
That is one gorgeous colander !!! : ]
ReplyDeleteYes, it is! Gorgeous indeed!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful thought/practice Tina! I am going to incorperate it into my life. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
