A Call From Wisdom
The darkness covered me like a thick blanket. I felt no apprehension or fear, just restrained.
The sounds of the mind’s echoing chatter through my ears, make sleep seem farther away.
With no stillness to rest from the long active day, and no position comfortable enough to relax the energy from within, the novel I was reading before bed is now calling me back.
Finally, tiptoeing away from a bed not interested in casting a mold for slumber,
I light a candle and settle in on a couch that pleasantly cups my body.
With book in hand, I begin to descend into the world of Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist,” where life brings on new adventures of the soul and connection with All That Is!
I excitedly move from page to page; word to word, as my Spirit soars, and intertwines with imagination, wisdom, and truth. And, I am in Awe.
Returning to bed, where the darkness has lifted, and the stillness embraces me with its silence, I slide in between the cool sheets.
The breeze from the fan above dances lightly over my face as my body fully stretches while releasing all inhibitions, and then…
I surrender peacefully to sleep.
When wisdom calls, it’s often a quiet voice, a nudge, or a realization that leads to a deeper understanding. Our world changes when we give ourselves the gift of being open to the guidance of growth, teachings and remembrance.
Thought to ponder:
As I age, sharing stories and experiences from my past, I’ve realized how much wisdom has settled in my core because of them. When you reflect on past times, can you now see the clarity of how much wisdom has set up home within you, because of them?
