So cool that my friend De D’Onofrio used this poster on her facebook wall. Drama was the word of my introspection meditation today.
I thought about how there appears to be so much drama in peoples lives and in the world these days. I thought about how much peace I have in my life and wondered for a minute – ‘is there something wrong with me?’, ‘perhaps I’m not relevant any more?’.
Than I realized that I have chosen the path of peace… it does not mean that I’m not ‘on a journey’ or that I ‘stopped caring’. I do have a lot to offer perhaps not in a material sense… but more so in a spiritual sense.
In my contemplation I see drama as a point of tension that is usually tied to some fear of not having or fear of letting go of something which could be physical or totally made up. This drama… what ever it is just holds you back from your true potential, holds you back from your pure joy and boundless creativity.
I’ve always thought that being a monk would be the answer to my spiritual journey but then I realized I chose the ultimate challenge… to seek spirituality within the structure of marriage, parenting and community.
For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to break free from the drama and seek the path of peace. To this end, my focus is on discovering my spiritual fortitude, it is discovering the mountain within me and scaling the cliffs of doubt and fear to reach the sweet spot of pure love that brings ultimate peace.
