Clear View: October 26 - November 1

I'm on retreat at the Omega Institute. Here's my view this morning.

Consider this email my postcard to you from the Hudson Valley. I wish you were here. I'm surrounded by the beauty of nature. I'm meditating with close friends, favorite teachers, and hundreds of good hearted people. It is exactly what my soul needs in these troubled days. I'm taking a little time to rest and recharge. I hope you're finding ways to take care of yourself.

Practice

Now that you've checked out your email, check the inbox of your heart.

Who are the people you are holding in your heart?

Say their names. Recall their faces. Hear their voices. Revisit your times together.

Take as much time as you like. Look back as far as you wish.

Remember all the people that have loved you throughout your life.

Feel their love still with you.

When we focus solely on the day's problems,

we fail to see the big picture.

Take a little while to clearly view the vista of love spanning your life.

Allow love to fill you up.

Rest and recharge.
