"The more spiritual you are the more ordinary you are...the more unspecial you become. What is a spiritual life? Chopping wood, hauling water." - Eckhart Tolle
Today I am 34 years old and over the
past year of my life, I have begun awakening. What do I mean by awakening? I mean
the awareness that my physical form is simply a shell that houses my true self - the soul. I know that I am not the things I do; not the
things I have; not what others think or say about me. I am a spiritual being having
a human experience. When this human form
dies, the real ME will continue. Energy does not go away – it changes form. Over the past year I’ve
become much more aware of how I treat those around me and how I exist on the
planet. This has led to an interest in living
sustainably inorder to lesson my footprint. My fiancé and I are researching how to
begin an urban garden in our backyard (god help the dogs if I ever talk Leah
into letting me have a goat!) I spend my days thinking about chicken coops, how
to quiet my mind, how to actively listen to my best friend and how to provide
compassion to the walking souls I share this existence with. I am the happiest I’ve ever been…so I’m
thinking there is something to all this stuff I’ve been reading, doing,
learning…all this awakening. That’s why I wanted to share with you guys. If I can be happy just by changing my
thoughts and my way of being in this world, anyone can. How amazing is that?
