a tawdry truth



Been playing witness to the funny and beautiful things that are happening to me now that I’ve started up my meditation practice again. How the whole world has elegantly collapsed into the palm of my hand- everything feels more manageable, filled with more potential, a bit more sparkly. It kind of reminds me of that quote from the Alchemist, how when you discover what it is that you want, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. Suddenly the universe is my best friend, dropping tiny clues in many corners that hint at our affability. I saw a big glowing purple dot in the corner of my bedroom this morning that reduced me to sheer giggles. It was like a Blue’s Clue’s pawprint from the celestial world.  I visualize muladhara’s glowing red ball of energy when I need some grounding, and have felt from time to time significant heat building up in my root. I’ve started to pick up other signs in my external world that previously I would have only ever expected from a thorough excavation of the Tarot – the fox that looked like she was winking at me, a bumper sticker that seemed to warn me, even a spilled Chai that tapped me politely on the shoulder and reminded me not to take things so seriously. It’s been suggested to me once that the mark of pure joy is finding pleasure and empathy in the smallest of things. I find myself imparting silent blessings on the driver in the car in front of me, or truly hoping for the best outcome for someone that in all honesty I thought I couldn’t care less about.  There is an amicable density between the air and my skin; it cloaks me.
