All the way open.
See yourself, all of you, every bit, even that stuff you don't like, or hold shame with.
Every.single.part.of.you.
Now here comes the hard part.
Look at yourself, really look.
See you.
See your story, for you are the only one who knows it, all the parts.
Allow yourself grace, true grace, no conditions, just acceptance of all that you are, compassionate understanding, because you know the whole story.
See each endeavor, each pain, each fear, each worry, each sadness, each hindrance, each accomplishment, each triumph, each defeat, each joy, each instant from this clear and accepting state. Allow you to see yourself as a character in the movie, we'll just call, "your life."
See yourself whole as a being from a distance.
You deserve forgiveness for your transgressions against yourself as much as everyone else does, and we all do, because we are all one. Root for the character in your movie to win. They need your help to succeed.
So what grudges do you still hold against you?
Do you really deserve to suffer for your whole life?
Why?
Is that what you really want?
Did you even know that you have a choice in the matter?
You do.
Accept your love. You need it most.
Manage your attention towards your intentions with every breath and every step.
Attention and intention are locked in a spiral of growth and death patterning one after the other based on what we are focused on.
What is your focus?
Now, What time is it? Do you remember?
It is still now. It is not too late.
It never is, for it is always now.
Everything is now.
Allow yourself the ability to blossom and unfurl your petals towards the infinite with acceptance, forgiveness and gratitude.
Just be.
Allow your now.
Become your light.
Thank you for you.
