A personal note from Sylvia
This morning as the sun peeped over the dawn, the birds began their morning welcome. I felt an inner smile, deep gratitude for all the goodness that surrounds, living angels, gifts of nature, kindness, and freedom.
Just before the sunset I chose to walk by the river. There was a serenity, a feeling of peacefulness, belonging, love and loveliness. It wasn’t just in the atmosphere, it was in me.
In my previous note to you I wrote, In each experience of life, search for the gift. What can be learnt from this moment? And at the end of each day, what did I learn from this day? Look for moments of connectedness, to people, new learning, and every day include the joy and feeling of contemplation and connectedness to nature.
I live in Perth, Western Australia, our summer temperatures are often extreme heat, and this year it is hot. This evening we had a reprieve. I walked and climbed to a vantage point breathing and listening, floating in a daydream of nothing in particular, but everything concerned with the quiet gentle place within – that place of self-love and connectedness.
My hope for you is that you can see you are worthy of good things, of genuine love, of deep connectedness, of happiness. Perhaps this means escaping your mind, your overthinking, so you can see everything you deserve. Once you feel (there is a difference between knowing and feeling), your worthiness, yourself as love and loveliness, you can live in that light every day.
Your past experience does not define your future. Open your heart a little, and then a little more, and like the dawn gently penetrates through the darkness of night, let lightness and loveliness nourish each day.
Every day I look for moments of love and delight. The bee and the flower, the texture and flavour of food, vistas of nature, and the intimacy of another breath reaching the nostrils.
So many expressions of love and connectedness.
In love and light,
Sylvia 🌸
