Spiritual Advice for Precarious Times
Some beautiful writing crossed my path this week which felt necessary and essential to pass forward.
The author of these words remains unknown, though many sources incorrectly attribute it to Hopi Indian Chief White Eagle, which makes sense on some level because it is the kind of sentiment one could easily associate with a Hopi Chief.
The inner chief, priestess, warrior, bodhisattva, that lives in each of us is being asked to awaken now, like never before. Our tools, our vision, our resiliency, our commitment to kindness, love and human decency are all being tested. But it is through tests that we come to know just how deep and powerful our inner strength truly is.
Without further ado, here is the passage I wish to share. May it find you well:
This moment that humanity is living through can be considered a door or a hole. The decision to fall into the hole or go through the door is yours.
If you consume information 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous, with pessimism, you will fall into this hole.
But if you take the opportunity to look at yourself, to rethink life and death, to take care of yourself and others, you will go through the door.
