Today's
Meditation:
Some
people keep all the curtains in their houses drawn all day
long, not letting in any of the beautiful sunlight that
shines outside and basically keeps us alive. The
sunlight is glorious, yet these people choose to keep it
out of their daily lives. I've seen houses with very
few windows that are very small, and that don't let in
much sunlight at all no matter what the time of day or
season.
As
we go through life, we have the choice as to whether or
not we're going to allow life to shine in on our
soul. If we keep ourselves open to life and living,
our spirits can benefit greatly from being exposed to the
love, hope, peace, and goodwill that are all around us
every day.
If
we build no windows to our souls, though, they never will
be beautified by the wonderful treasures that make up
life. They never will benefit from the influences of
the many great things that are in this world with us.
Some
people purposely block off all their windows because they
don't want the negative things to touch their souls.
That's much like a person in Florida blocking off a home's
windows all year long to protect against a hurricane, when
they might actually be hit by a hurricane one or two days
every ten years. The home becomes a dreary place,
and the protection is not needed every day.
Build
some windows. Let life in. Let other people
see your glorious spirit. And let your soul shine in
beauty, just as it was created to do. Please don't
hide away the beauty of your spirit behind a windowless
facade!
