Isn’t it marvelous
we have awakenings?
Awakenings to
what it is.
Awakenings to why
it is.
Awakenings to who
it is.
Awakenings to
where it is.
Awakenings to
when it is.
When Archimedes
got into a bath-tub, and the water overflowed, and he realized he could use this principle to tell if the king’s crown was adulterated with metals other than gold, it was an awakening.
When Newton
observed an apple fall from a tree, leading him to think about the nature
of gravitation, it was an awakening.
When 16 year old Einstein
imagined chasing after a beam of light, which came back to him again and again, helping him formulate his theory
of relativity, it was an awakening.
We are meant to
have awakenings.
Awakenings help
us overcome our problems.
Awakenings help
us break our shackles.
Awakenings help
us shake the dust of our heels.
They change
our patterns.
Move us into new
realms.
Liberate us from
stale thoughts and routines.
Answers are just
an awakening away.
Freedom is just
an awakening away.
Peace is just an
awakening away.
Solace is just an
awakening away.
What can bring
about an awakening?
A puzzle can
bring about an awakening.
A challenge can
bring about an awakening.
A humbling can
bring about an awakening.
A rude shock can
bring about an awakening.
A spiritual,
moral, physical, social, or financial crisis can bring about an awakening.
A profound loss
can bring about an awakening.
It’s always
darkest before the dawn.
An awakening is
often preceded by the darkest of darknesses.
Remorse, pain,
emptiness, fear, guilt, hopelessness, are all rich natural resources for an
awakening.
Whether we are in deep misery before an awakening, or just plain unconscious, when we have an awakening, life as we have known it before, ends.
We are never the same after.
Awakenings are full of light.
Bright, restoring, healing, conscious light.
To fight off an
awakening, is to deny ourselves the rich gifts of an awakening.
Imagine if St. Augustine had not heeded the voice that was the beginning of his awakening.
An awakening can be prompted by a word, a sound, an idea, an experience, a
conversation.
Awakenings
will involve our thoughts, feelings and our sensations. They are never
just thoughts. They are a physical
and mental experience.
Our hearts
quicken, the blood in our veins pump faster, the hairs on our hand stand on
end.
They are “ahas”, and “I got its”.
There is no
uncertainty about an awakening.
Every awakening is a moment of
complete clarity. You know what you should do. You couldn't be more sure.
The Awakening Muse is shy and introverted, and often speaks only in whispers. She usually meets people only one-on-one.
No surprise we often have an awakening, when we are alone with our thoughts, on a sleepless night.
So if you are
wrestling with something, go to bed tonight, and quiet your thoughts. Invite the Awakening Muse to whisper the answers to you.
There is so much
to be awakened to in our lives.
We just haven't been quiet enough to hear it yet.
