Monday Mantra 292

"Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds’ wings." - Rumi

Stop before you tighten a fist; heart-mind-spirit’s follow and squeeze out positive energy. "Paralyze" your dynamic brain with concretized beliefs and we destroy the free flight of open dialogue. Shut down feelings encourage a PTSD fight or flight. Instead, enter the open-hearted space of "deepest presence." Attention to all life’s complexities allows our entire being-ness to soar on the power of "beautifully balanced bird’s wings."
