Have you ever watched the way the wind flows through the trees?  The way the light flows through a skylight? The way the waves come again and again to edge of the shore?  There is this silent flow through which life is happening all the time.  The wind moves freely.  The light beams freely. The waves move freely.  There seems to be nothing to prevent any of those elements from doing their thing. Not the tree, not the glass of the skylight, not the shore full of sand.  What if we were endowed with this same freedom to be who we are?  What if the idea that we are stopped by things outside of ourselves was only an illusion or an excuse? How might we be different from who we are being right now? When I am aligned with a sense of purpose and a feeling of safety and love, I am free to be me in the world.  It is only when I am in this space of connection with God that I am completely free.  It is as though I am not worried about buying into what the world thinks.  I am driven by being who God wants me to be.  Who I know myself to be.  There is nothing more freeing than that and it can happen in the smallest of ways–when sitting in traffic, washing the dishes, laughing with a friend, hugging a family member, crying on the phone after a frustrating experience, or telling someone I love and appreciate them.  These moments of freedom are not hindered by anything because within them they are full expressions of myself–good and bad, right and wrong, perfect and imperfect.  I just am in that moment.  No judgment.  No expectation.  No other place to be.  My prayer for us today is that we pay attention to those moments of freedom, breathe them in and then make note of where we are in our hearts and spirits in that moment so we can create more of it.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
