Today in contemplation
Hanging with Hafiz
You do not know the future. All that you have is hope, and hope comes from the past. Too often you jump from the past to the future and miss the moment. That moment is now. Let it be your guide. Abandon your judgments of the past and your hopes for the future. You seem to be always hoping for something new or better. Maybe something profound or life changing. You hope for more of this and that. You seldom seek less. Yet, less is what brings you abundance. Jesus said to sell all in order to enter the kingdom of God. You cannot drag worldly ways across the threshold of the room-within. Your treasure lies within. Jesus also said to sell all to buy the pearl of great price. That pearl is your true nature. Your true nature knows the way. It provides what you need along the path. Open your heart to the moment. Sit in the still silence of the room-within. Receive your abundance willingly. The way home is not paved with judgment and hope. It is paved with knowing your true nature in the moment.
