Guidance & Reflection – Week 165

by | Apr 2, 2023 | General

WEEK 165

God, what is your guidance for me today? How may I live more deeply into my life?

Retreat.

Move back from the world today.

Gather yourself.

Even if you must work or carry out

responsibilities,

do so with the expanded consciousness

that though you are in the world,

you are not of it.

You are a child of Divinity;

a person and creation of the 

Supreme Being/Creator.

Today,

pull back into the heaven that is

within you…

into the silent joy that is always

there,

waiting for you.

Retreat.

Fall back…

into that part of you 

that transcends the body

and knows the wonder of heaven’s 

graces.

 

Evening Reflection 

Today was one of those days where there were so many coincidences that I stopped and said to myself, “Is the universe trying to tell me something?” 

I have been home alone for a week of a two-week period my wife is away. I told myself I would treat these two weeks of rare alone time as a personal retreat, and get a lot done. However, almost immediately there were unplanned events that suddenly came up, including the need to be “dad” to an adult child and a new speaking opportunity that I needed to decide on. In addition, there were issues that I had put on the back burner that were now staring me in the face, waiting to be attended to.

I tried to write at night after dealing with life’s duties and responsibilities, which threw my sleep way off. I was trying to force things and ended up tired and not getting done what I had envisioned for this first week.

I lost my retreat focus. 

And this morning, today’s guidance comes through, ironically on RETREAT! Later in the morning I spoke with a friend of 45 years about a project of mine that seemed to be stalling. He suggested I put it down, and because of various and sundry unsure things on my plate, he suggested I go into a personal RETREAT… to gather myself! While we were talking, another daughter texts me. I did not interrupt my phone call to read the texts, of which there were several. After the phone call, I read the texts. It was a series of notes asking if it was okay for her best friend’s mom to stay at our home for a couple of days, as she is coming into town for a silent RETREAT. 

I immediately communicate this synchronicity to my friend, who texts back, “The universe is shouting at you.” 

“It would seem so,” I said. 

At least communicating assertively in ways hard to miss.

And so, I took the hint and reclaimed this time to make it a personal retreat. 

I spent the rest of the day relaxing, working out, reading and contemplating. My focus is back on Presence… and not the chaos of life. 

It will be there.
