On this first day of Summer I want to draw your attention to a book by Mark Nepo. The book,  THE BOOK OF AWAKENING, is my favorite book. If I could only have one book, this book would be enough.

It is a book of daily readings that combine Spirituality and Psychology in such a way that Nepo’s work can actually help you move through challenges in such a way that you will be more whole and healed just by reading his daily readings.

In his reading from yesterday, he spoke about how we can allow our pain, emotional or physical to consume us if we are not conscious.  He finishes the reading by saying:  ” ………..for the first time, I felt in my soul that I was larger than my pain. this empowered me………………..so many times in our despair, we see our pain as something that will never end. In fact, this often  defines our moments of despair:  when we believe that our pain contains the rest of us. In contrast, there is this sense of peace to work toward: the belief that our life contains our pain”.

Dear friends, his words say it all. I invite you to think on this today, and then I invite you to schedule an appt by phone or in person so that I can help you begin to release your pain into the fullness of who you are.

Tomorrow:  more words from Nepo about how the unseen but very tangible presence of the Divine is with us always and when we are willing to let go into this unseen presence, we are able to SEE and be SEEN.
