The Gift of Sadness

The world swells and we feel small. A person says a hurtful thing and we feel small. Companies prey on our smallness by making us worry about never having enough insurance.

None of these companies love us. The people who say hurtful things are only themselves pain. And if we adjust our view, the world actually lives inside us.

The moon lives inside us. The city streets live inside us. The food we eat lives inside us.

Our consciousness is bigger than all the items in the world. The world’s complexity is not overwhelming because we can stand bigger than it, simply by being still.

Even our deepest fears are smaller than us, because we contain them.

They live in us. They live off us. They have no life in and of themselves. They need us. Because we are big and made of Source.

We manifest life from our invisible side. We hold power to create from nothing — solutions, ideas, healing for others.

We are portals from which life springs. We are beneficiaries of other portals, but we are a portal too.

Sadness is our birthright. Joy is our sadness’ flowering bud. Gladness and peace are knowing our true nature — stillness, spaciousness, consciousness.

The whole show is a gift.
