Be the Soul of the Place

Be the Soul of the Place

Wherever you stand
Be the soul of that place
Rumi

Again and again I come back to the same subject: that we spend so much time in our lives living half-heartedly. We float on the surface of life, looking neither up nor down, just dealing quickly with whatever we’re facing - most often with our minds elsewhere - and then hurrying on to the next task. Is there any time or space for our souls in all this quick living?

This week’s challenge is to stop and pause at least once a day: stand still for a moment, connect with yourself, stay there, and just be. Wherever you are, feel the solid ground under your feet, the immense universe above your head, and your tender heart beating in the center of it all. Feel that You are right where you belong, and be the soul of that place.
