Solitude is essential for the soul. Our monthly theme at the Cafe this month is resourcing — my word for when you consciously connect with something larger than yourself.
What do I mean by something larger than you?
You don’t create gravity that holds you to the earth. You do not grow all the food you eat nor the clothes you wear nor the myriad other things that sustain you right now.
You did not fashion from clay the people you love.
Did you invent the computer that you received this on? Did you make the electricity or write the code or write these words?
In other words, something far bigger than you exists — let’s call it life. The wonder of life being lived all around you, the wonder of life living through you.
What I’ve come to know with my whole being is the most essential act of self-nurturing is to access this larger-ness, this far bigger and other than me-ness, to draw on it like you would a well, a library, a power cord, an ocean, a heart the size of the universe and beyond.
Try and spend a few quiet minutes alone today resourcing. It doesn’t matter where you do it — in the bathroom stall at work (maybe instead of having a donut) or sitting alone in your car between errands — what matters is you let yourself relax into that which wants to feed you.
Draw in the energy you need without effort.
You are deserving.
Today’s Intention: Acknowledging you aren’t the source of everything.
