I don’t know why I feel to go here as I don’t usually do this, but I’m gonna take a little deep dive with y’all this morning.
There is place within that we can all go where we see with certainty that we need do nothing. It’s a place, or state, where we can see present, absolute perfection, if only for moment.
It’s not a place where we see that the dishes and laundry are done, mind you. It’s a place that transcends the world as we know it and one where, what many refer to as miracles happen. It’s a place of healing and deep peace.
When we see this, it doesn’t mean we actually don’t do anything anymore. Like many things when it comes to capital T, Truth, it’s a paradox—when we see that we need do nothing, we begin to behold so many inexplicable things being done in us, through us and all around us.
Like with everything, don’t take my word for it. It’s something one has to experience in order to really understand as it’s way outside of the box of our general understanding; there simply is no reference point for this in the world. More than anything, it’s a place worth finding. I left no stone unturned in my life looking for answers to assuage the pain I’ve experienced from a very young age. It was only when I began to see this that things began to really shift.
The good news is that the answers are never outside of our own being. I found that everything I had ever looked for, hoped for, expected, and needed was within me all along. I was just looking in the wrong place. I was looking where these things can’t be found BECAUSE they’re not there. It’s pretty simple—in order to find something, we must look to where it actually is. I just didn’t know that it was within; that I already had everything I was looking for. I was a fish swimming in the ocean, searching for water.
The beautiful thing is that, what I experienced, is also true for everybody and everything.
FYI—It was just after I began to see these things that, among many other things, I discovered I could paint just about anything.

Because I felt unworthy I couldn’t imagine this place within ME. My glimpses have helped me realize I am worthy… We all are! It’s easy to get lost in the world and feel alone and defeated but once you touch this place you always have a deeper reality to call upon. Life still has ups and downs and round and rounds but we are never alone.
So very grateful for your wisdom and beautiful art! Thanks for “going there”.
