Dear gentle one,
Your heart is like a grand piano… silently waiting the touch of one to bring forth life’s music. It’s not the gentle sonata that you long for… no matter how serene and flowing. The music you desire to hear and feel is to be full of passion… complex… compelling… full of longing and tension… full of joy and regret… music to awaken your senses… music to unlock the hidden sorrows and un-tempered joys. How you long to dance, to experience the closeness of another. To bathe in the music that will once again make you feel alive.
The desires that you discover within are often planted there with angelic whispers… planted to encourage to stretch beyond your safe haven of daily routine… to encourage opening up all colors of life’s hues. Life truly is to be experienced.
Speak to that soul… that you would normally hesitate to. Partake in the little opportunities of volunteering or fun classes. Share simple experiences with a close friend whether it is shopping, pampering at a spa, a night in the big city to enjoy a play, ballet or opera.
Just as plants (and children) need nurturing… so does your soul. Stepping out will remove the blocks that keep life’s music muted. As you nurture so allow others to nurture you… for just as find joy in nurturing so do they.
Set aside those tasks and responsibilities that safely surround you and keep you in. Make time for yourself… and others. Life is cyclical. Ecclesiastes 3:2. As you open yourself to the rhythms of life, you find them being played out on the keyboard of your soul.
