Seeing Sacred

Today, I leave the surround-sound of little grandchildren and travel to Alabama to look at the RV.  The child's need be heard and understood is so profound. They cry, shout, and pout when it's not met.  The need doesn't change as we grow, but the inner connection to it so often gets full of muck and mud.   Pulled by training, responsibilities, money, relationship, success, family, the laundry, authentic becomes guesswork. How do we clear the channel?  Know who and what we are?  As children, parents or caregivers are our mirror.  Their beauty and flaws are what we see as self.  Developing a new mirror requires continual effort to discern our own inner knowing, to discern which thoughts bring us closer to ourselves or farther away.  This from Hexagram 53 in the Toltec I Ching, "by rigorously training our mind to see in the visible a clear vision of the invisible, our mind becomes a mirror of the laws governing nature and spirit" and "see everything as sacred, including yourself."  It is my dream that by changing my way of life, clear connection to myself and my purpose will come. A purpose that provides benefit to myself and other.  New glasses to see the sacred in everything, including myself.
