Although I enjoyed breakfast I was somehow disconnected from feeling really fulfilled without knowing why, putting pressure on myself that I should know better, that I teach people to be grateful and how to experience deep joy.
Here I was sitting at the breakfast table and couldn't feel it myself because I was pressuring myself to finish some emails, wanted to post on my Facebook fan page (what I normally really enjoy doing), wanted to read and write, ...
I worked for 3 hours, prepared lunch and was so exhausted after some hectic weeks that I fell asleep in the afternoon while my husband was watching cycling on TV.
We went out for dinner in the evening with the kids, we had fun in the car driving home, sang some songs together and then I felt how it came back naturally, the feeling that is always there, that feeling of happiness and love when we decide not to pay too much attention to the stories of our mind.
While experiencing this deep feeling of joy and thinking about Easter and its meaning, one verse came to me: 'Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the world'
And then I remembered it is through the softness of the heart, it is through experiencing love that we are here and now, no longer carried away by our thinking mind.
And I felt deep compassion for myself, for the struggle I had in the morning, it opened my heart, and this love extended to you, that's why I wanted to share it on this Easter Monday with you.
Our true life experience passes through our heart and that is why the meek are blessed, they sense the love, they sense what life is all about...
Wishing you an amazing day, Barbara.
