Eye of the Beholder

3/5/2020

Early years spent trying to be the perfect daughter, wife, and corporate employee left me anxious, stressed, and exhausted.
Releasing the perceived expectations of others left me free to explore and experience myself. Now, as a mother, I face a similar challenge while letting go of society’s and my children’s demands regarding parenthood.  My eyes are my own.  What I see is a reflection of myself.  I see past the dictates of my parent, husband, boss, or children, into my own self.  I behold what I want to behold.  
What I want to behold is the beauty in the world.  The beauty of nature and the natural world.  From the morning sunrise to the floating clouds and gentle rains, I want to watch with gratitude the tremendous beauty Mother Earth offers.  
For I too am part of this natural beauty born of the Mother.  
What I want to behold is the love in the world.  The love that envelops and energizes life and the life force that filters in every encounter.  Seeing the love of a parent for a newborn child, the love shared by couples on their wedding day, and the deep love of a child for a parent during their final hours together.  For I too am part of this love, born of the Divine.
What I want to behold is peace in the world.  The peace that resonates deep within and throughout my entire being.   Envisioning this eternal peace spread throughout the planet and into the Universe, I breathe in.  Breathing out, I release all conflict, hate, and negativity.  
For I too, am part of this peace, born of the Heart. 
Be.
Hold.
