An opportunity to reflect, to see things how they are. It&#8217;s an opportunity to make changes and see our place in the world more clearly.<\/p>\n<p>It is a time to be mindful of how we experiencing our consciousness, the quality of our thoughts, our state of mindfulness. How often are we in the future or in the past?<\/p>\n<p>How much suffering reliving past events, often how we remember it is not even how it occurred. Memory isn\u2019t real. Emotions are &#8220;real&#8221; for as long as we feel them, for as long as we hold on to them. They have to be felt and experienced within the body and then released; or let go of &#8211; otherwise they will persist.<\/p>\n<p>The stories we tell ourselves keep us from feeling. Keep surrendering the stories and letting go of all the unwanted feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Accept it all as a journey of life and awakening.<\/p>\n<p>When you start to sing your song, you will know you have surrendered.<\/p>\n<p>Stay positive, remembering:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.&#8221; &#8211; Victor Hugo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Travel light along the Path of Love.<\/p>\n<p>With love always,<br \/>\nDavid<\/p>\n<p>PS.
