Creating Light
February 24, 2021 Creating Light
Still riding the roller coaster and going through the darkest tunnel I have ever been through in my life, it occurs to me that I do not have to wait to discover the light “at the end of the tunnel”, rather, I can create it, right now. Yesterday just happened to be a day of creation in many interesting ways. In a beautiful conversation with Akiko, I start seeing a future of travel and fun. I have always loved traveling and made it a priority. I imagined travel to Israel to see Ima and grandkid while renting a beautiful place on the beach in the Tel Aviv area, and exploring the city, staying a while in Tsfat and exploring that area, perhaps a trip to the desert, staying overnight where there are no city lights and the clear sky is full of starts, planets and mystery. I do not want to pass by places. I will stay perhaps a few weeks here or there, and take my time to explore, enjoy the energy of the place, the people and the food and the culture, and take time to sit down and reflect, introspect, and write. I want to be able to create an inspirational book of travel and growth, exploration, and transformation. I want to connect with people, in cafes, or on the bus, or in the street. I want to ask them questions, make a connection, learn from them. How do others deal with fear? How did they overcome it? What did they learn?
Joyce Pike, my wisdom course Leader called next. Joyce is going through a whole year of serious chemotherapy treatment, keeping a big smile on her face. How? She keeps making a commitment to be happy. When she is not, she says she is out of integrity with herself, so she looks at it and comes back. Happy as a commitment. While happy, Joyce also created a whole future for what is next, when she gets well. An exciting future of coaching, contribution and making a difference in the world. She did not even pay much attention to my telling her about the pain. While on a roller coaster ride, no one knows what is next. We sit there, belted in, and life takes us through a mysterious and unpredictable journey that has lots of ups and downs. We are there to enjoy the ride, make peace with it, whatever it is.
Next was a call from my cousin Noa, in Israel. Noa for me is a Miracle reminder. She is a walking Miracle. Noa survived a devastating head on car accident. All doctors did not give her a chance to come out of that alive, or if by miracle she stays alive they predicted many handicaps like not being able to function due to her severe head injury, not being able to walk, or other. When I asked Noa to tell me the secret for her full recovery she said “do not listen to the doctors. The Soul is bigger and more powerful. Keep a positive attitude, keep smiling, believe you can do it”. I needed that reminder. I also needed to be reminded of miracles happen. When we open to them, when we look for them, when we allow them, miracles can show up unexpected any time. I create the possibility of miracles showing up everyday in my life.
