“I die daily.” I Corinthians 15: 31
What does this mean, to die daily? It means to take the time to release yourself from all your plans and schemes, to know that the hardened shell you have created for yourself as your self is just that, a shell. Not to worry. You can form it again. Or perhaps form one that is a little more effective in your ongoing shell game. “I die daily.” Once a day I release. I let go. I allow go, the onrush of the life I am. I am the flowing water rather than the container. I breathe. I sigh, like the tree branches in the wind. I disappear. Only life remains. I die so I may come to life.

Sublime...thank you, George! ♥
ReplyDeleteDeath reminds us we are free. This is a great technique for bringing that freedom into our lives as a daily practice. Remembering how to travel beyond this form. Bringing clues from those lessons back into this form to soften that shell, make it less rigid and more able to be at peace with what comes into and fall out of being. Peace.
