“If the doors of perception were cleansed, EVERYTHING would appear to man as it is, INFINITE. For man has closed himself up, till he sees things all through narrow chinks of his cavern”
William Blake,
…and now it’s time to ‘cleanse the doors of perception’ …and wake up. Welcome to The Divine Art of Chilling Out. I am hoping you will find peace and quiet through the prayers, meditations and the poetry I will share through this blog. I will strive to provide you with content that comes from me. However, if I find a piece of inspiration from someone else, that I feel compelled to share, I will gladly offer it here for your pleasure.
Too often we are overwhelmed with the confusion of the day, the month or years as they pass us by. We often forget to stop and feel…experience all that is going on around us. We forget that we are blessed, or we have a gift to share, or to experience. It all becomes stifled in the fog that fills our mind. The purpose of this space, is to release your mind from the fog, open your eyes and perspective to a higher place. A place of heightened sensation, awareness and being.
I gratefully offer you today’s reflection…
To feel the love and joy, we must express love and joy in all possible ways. May we experience joy and love without possession; may we feel and express it without fear or judgement. May we be willingly vulnerable and open to welcome true emotions into our hearts, and to express in the same unencumbered ways. May we learn to love ourselves so that we can fully express our love to those who surround us.
To experience love and joy, we will laugh, be silly, and express true exaltation for even the simplest things…the beauty of a flower, the natural pattern of a worn path, the smile of a child, or an elder. May we encourage ourselves to feel content, deep down inside us, at all of the wondrous things around us…and we feel a sincere gratitude for the privilege…
I thank you for visiting this site to reflect and maybe even capture a feeling, an emotion, an experience that will set a positive perspective and tone for your day…good morning
