WARMTH:

The warmth I feel inside comes from the energy that I am.
I am is my well-spring of my soul.
While it can appear that I am motivated by exterior things, I am basically stimulated to act by what is within.
The facts that I need to discern are whether I am ‘doing’ because of fear or because of freedom.
I am moved by what is actually going-on inside me – unless there was something happening outside to make me move.
This could be expressed in a different way.
What I see in you, I have in me. That means, that if I see something in you that I like, I must have it, and if I see something that I don’t like, that bothers me, or rattles-my-cage, I have that too.
If I encounter something I don’t really like, but it doesn’t get to me very much, then I have taken a big step in mastering that area.
As long as I am being honest with myself, I can discern where I am at and what I need to work on.
It’s a bigger picture I tune-into when I realize, it’s all about me! Not from a selfish point of view, but from a realistic point of view.
All the people, the situations, the politics, the dis-eases and yes, even all the concepts and confusion; it’s all “here for me.”
I am comforted that people-will-be-people and that this place is a giant school; for me to learn and grow spiritually.
Along my journey there are times I can rest and enjoy the heat from a fireplace and there are times when I stay warm by being active and involved in my adventures.
Both are important, but it is essential to remember there is always a fire inside.
