SACRED
It is with pause, that I take an observers view of what we believe is sacred. As an individual, like, yet unlike any other. As we are slipped into our skin, we are given with our first breath.......LIFE! We are intrinsically imbued with a mind and a spirit that carries with it an original blueprint we can call our own. some of which is our mothers, and her ancestry, some of our fathers and his. Their DNA runs deep throughout our being, which can be prized as "Royal", or "Dammed" by disease. but, there is something else here........a uniqueness of not only where I am raised, or by whom, during a particular period of time or culture. Whether we are born into money or are dirt poor.
Our individuality is formed by our singular point of view, through making choices in our own scenery with our own free will. From our earliest age we are unique, from the calm and complacent child, to the willful, thrill seeker. A culmination of many ingredients, combined with an additional secret flavor of our own. Others made the stock to our soup, yet we change the flavor and texture, some by accident and much by choice.
There in lies the question...........why do we not treat our bodies, minds & spirit with care and respect, as the sacred temples that we dwell in? For it is the only vehicle we have to make the journey. When all else slips away, this is all you are left with. This then begs the question, why do we not treat others as they too are sacred?
We are all too willing to give it up and tear it down, misuse and abuse this sacred place we call our own. If someone gave you a precious diamond to take care of.........we would be so very careful, not to damage it, or lose it and would protect it from harm or theft from another. You would never put it in the hands of someone you didn't know or trust? Would you? Are we not as precious as a stone?
Love is the driving force that grows the spirit and expands all possibilities. Loving ourselves without ego, knowing that there lies within every human being a purpose, unique as a snowflake. Our life, body & mind are sacred temples, waiting for acknowledgment with love, knowing how precious it all is!
