inspire change

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Nelson Mandela

I have realized that there are two places I can be, one is waiting for the answer and the other is to become the answer.  When I sit back and wait and hold back my enthusiasm and give in to the burdens of life, I might as well be catatonic.  When I shine my light, I immediately see the lights around me shine.  Is it my eyes that change or do I inspire change.  Does it matter?  I know that when I touch the place in me that is a well of transformational bliss, I can hardly contain myself.  I am having glimpses of that when I sit to write.  My intention is to bathe in it. 

Today, I feel grateful for the simplicity.    I am laying the groundwork and becoming more relaxed into the process that I have set forth. The part of me that wants it all now is quieter.  I am grateful for the peace.
