Seeking Fulfillment
Spiritual seeking is a holy act. It is not a mistake that we seek, even if we have the sense that we are not finding. Seeking our deepest knowing and connection to life is a sacred movement that often culminates in spiritual experiences, or simply the knowing of a deep longing of the heart. The fulfillment of our journey is not a single moment in time, but a knowing that the depth of what we are is never apart from us. When this is found to be true without the sense of having fulfilled our dreams or our gifts, then we are in sacred territory, having laid down our personal agendas in favor of truth. Don’t lose heart if your life doesn’t appear as a spiritual apex. This moment, however humble, however broken, can be a cracked egg which reveals something much more valuable. In it, inside of our own knowing, is a love that knows no bounds, a love which lays down the pressure of having to do it ourselves. Love in this sense doesn’t seek an object, or a love story. It is a broken hearted seeing, a unshielded awareness that spreads throughout space and time, and finds itself unable to separate, unwilling to stop learning, and unneeding of mending.
