When darkness falls and you feel alone, light a candle . When you are hurt by someone’s words or actions, say a prayer of forgiveness. Take time of reflection for your actions each day and your feelings that went along with them. The next morning, imagine taking three steps up: you are starting on a higher level of knowing and being and try again. We all make mistakes and blunders; we all hurt and hurt others. Can you decrease your numbers each day? Can you hurt less by forgiving more? Can you hurt others less by speaking and acting more consciously and from a higher space of knowing/compassion? Each day, moving a few steps away from self and toward the collective, away from ego and toward love, away from the me, me, me and more toward the I love you? Don’t judge yourself when we get it wrong; we all get it wrong. That is why we are still human. But making an attempt to live from the higher road, the one of love and understanding and forgiveness, brings us so much closer to the divine. Blessings to you on this special day.
