The
mind's first need is to be 'right.' The heart's first need is to feel
connection. I can survive being wrong. I cannot survive being
disconnected.
On a Spring morning, breathing this blossom in has
nothing to do with right or wrong. It is electric connection to the
Shakti pervading all creation.
Here is a meditation for clearing your circuits and re-booting your Presence: Spend a minute assuming that you are wrong about
almost everything. Then gaze quietly into a flower, breathing in nameless beauty.
Why does such a simple act of non-doing restore so much energy, not only to one's self, but to the environment?
Because you discover that being 'right' or 'wrong' isn't very important.
Even when the mind is 'wrong,' the heart can connect, responding profoundly to
other hearts, to a raindrop, the moon, the
sound of a robin at dawn, the pollen on a stamen tip.
In fact, it's easier to be connected
when we're 'wrong,' because the mind is humbled into quietness. We just shut up and listen. This is response-ability.
Would you like to walk this planet as a joyful healer? Then please remember, it has
nothing to do with your righteousness, nothing to do with imposing your moral code on the world. Joyful healing happens organically, as a practice of embodiment, when you
connect the earth to the radiance of your heart through the soles of
your feet.
God knows, I could be wrong about this...
