There is a vibrancy within you — a conscious spirit … a life essence … a soulful celestial shimmering that is refracted through you into every thought, every word & action. 

 

 

 

And because there is only one YOU in all of time — only one YOU with your particular challenges and your unique gifts, this expression is as priceless as it is powerful. 

 

 

 

And yet if you block it — if you keep it locked up — if you choose to look away from the gentleness you can show to others in those moments when only you can show it, then in those moments of retreat your inner radiance will fade and be lost forever.

 

 

 

My Friends, it is not your business to judge how “good” your gifts are, or how “effective” your service could be, or how radiant your Life Essence might one day shine.  Nor is it your job to compare the brightness of your Soul with that of others, nor contrast its innate worth with theirs.  No, such things will never bring you real merit or show your true mettle. 

 

Rather, it is simply your business on this one day to pause long enough to remember your Kind Heart within, and then keep its channel open … to shine warmly upon others nearby.

 

Amen … Let it be so.
