Process

Well, Now it is February and I look back at what I wrote about beginning a New Year. I think about the process that is taking place in my life as I continue to pursue peace, joy, the abiding presence, listening, a new level of freedom, a new dimension of truth defined.
I am not looking at progress, rather the process. I am trying to be more mindful of the present moment, what it presents and represents. I am aware of moments of complete brilliance as my children live, relate, learn, grow. The brilliance that only children can illuminate with their sense of wonder and awe. The complete reckless abandon of living in the moment of now. The utmost joy to the devastation of disappointment, and learning how to recover and join once again into the heartbeat of life as it continues on.
If the only question I am asked at the end of my life can be answered with an assured and strong "yes", I will have lived my life with no regrets. The question I strive to fulfill is "Have you learned to love?" It's the process of learning to love, learning to accept love, learning to allow the healing necessary to the areas that inhibit loves flowing freely, between heart, mind, soul, and spirit. The "Process" continues, the journey fulfilling if only we stop to learn about the moment of now.
