Opening

There was an opening in the sky this morning and therefore the sun could make a glorious appearance. The surrounding clouds only served to enhance this entrance by providing a medium to reflect the sun's light back on itself. The key to this morning's beauty was the opening. Simply opening changed everything.

I have been noticing a theme of opening everywhere in my life. I'm not entirely sure I know what it means yet but I am starting to grasp the enormity of the concept. Opening doesn't mean just being open to the good things. Opening means being open regardless of what surrounds you. In fact, paradoxically, when you can open to the pain and negativity around you then you will be truly open to receive the blessings. Being open is our purpose. Being open allows us to let our love and light shine through us. When we close down in order to protect ourselves we do prevent negativity from coming in. However, the great loss is that we also prevent our greatness from coming out.
