| Dedication
People of dedication move in the world without fanfare yet leave a radiant trail for others to be inspired. Experiencing the directness of each moment, they intimately witness the sacred in life, from the howl of wolves to the song of birds, from the roar of ocean waves to the whistle of the breeze, from the odor of a swamp to the fragrance of a rose. They inhale the nourishing energy of daily life and exhale the transforming qualities of wisdom. Each of us can join this assembly of dedication. Each of us has heard the call of the soul, felt the longing for wholeness and authenticity, and seen the writing on the stark wall of life. Dedication is not decided, it is discovered. It is uncovered by
plumbing the energetic sources of fears and longings to find the divine
aspect of our being that is seeking expression through these emotions.
There is no text that can tell us what our dedication is and no teacher
who can give it to us. There is only the direct experience of reaching the
core and from there the path of life is lit by the clarity of our purpose,
the strength of our will and the quality of our
attention. |
