The Ordinary, Extraordinary, Everyday Life

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination.
~John Keats

Many times we try to solve the puzzle of life while we excessively yearn for entertainment, power, intimacy, or material things. We want to figure out the connection between our divine nature and our humanness, thinking we can find an answer if we discover the right relationship or job, the right teacher, spiritual practice or therapy. While we might try to lay our problems at the feet of a professional who is supposedly trained to solve them for us, we need to realize in fact that we ourselves have both the task and the pleasure of organizing and shaping our lives for the good of our own soul.

Instead of trying to fight, change or overcome situations and circumstances that make us feel not so great, not so welcome, or not so appreciated, we can use them as mirrors, or as pointers that show us how our soul wants to grow, and what our spiritual beingness needs to evolve into. This makes all our choices, our decisions, and the path we walk today to take care of our soul-being, a sacred act.

With the awareness that it is not about curing, fixing, changing, or adjusting, we can lovingly remain in the present moment, close to life as it presents itself day by day while we remain mindful of our own spiritual needs at the same time. As the curators of our own soul, we ultimately become the change we are seeking and we get to experience the lightness of our own being through the mirror of our physical world. 

Tune into your inner priesthood today, that awareness that makes your life your ministry and that celebrates the sacredness of the journey we all are on. You are the soulfulness in your ordinary, extraordinary, everyday life.
