God of Light is always with you. God of clarity is always within you. When we long to find balance of heart in our lives, God is here to capture and captivate our minds and spirits through the gift of light. When we are restored to sanity (soundness of mind) we experience a clarity about who we really are and what our purpose is. It is often not until we find ourselves in the darkness that we yearn for the light. At least that is how it was with me. I experienced many a dark time in my life. Sometimes because of circumstances, sometimes because of thinking generated from trying to make sense of circumstances. There are many paths to light (enlightenment) and we are all on a journey of love whether we recognize it or not. The longer I walk this path of light and love hand in hand with the Great Creator who adores and marvels in me, the more I am encouraged to bring light to the places in my life that I have been dark for so long, I did not know that there was light. Sometimes they are such a mixture of dark and light that I stopped paying attention to the dark parts until I was ready to bring them fully into the light. These are the things that we refer to as having a love/hate relationship with. They are our passions which explains why suffering comes with them. Dance is such an experience with me. It is too long of a story to go into but recently I have experienced seeing my relationship with this self-expressive art form in a new light. It has caused me to unearth some old patterns of mindset when dancing. Maybe because it directly involves my body, but this experience has taken me to depths I had not previously imagined and it has not been easy. I am encouraged by the knowledge that something this deep to let go of means more room for love in my heart. This keeps me moving forward instead of succumbing to the idea that I just need to take a nap. Our ardors become the vehicles to bring us more fully into the light o f love. Instead of striving to figure out why there is a push and pull I can now recognize the gift of walking this path through my passion instead of wanting the “negative” side of it to go away. Hmm, where else in my life do I apply that way of thinking? My prayer for us today is that we be open to exploring all the “sides” of our passions to better enable us to see our path further into connection with The Light. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
