In Harmony May I Walk

… La petite voix (Eileen Caddy).
Celle du jour est parlante.

Apprends à rechercher toutes les réponses en toi. Prends du temps pour être au calme et trouver la réponse dans le silence. Ne désespère jamais si elle n’arrive pas immédiatement. Simplement, attends-Moi, et sache que J’agis au moment juste et en rythme parfait avec la totalité de la création. Comme il est facile, lorsque la vie ne va pas très bien, de lever les bras au ciel de désespoir et d’essayer de tout fuir, au lieu de faire face à tes responsabilités et de t’appuyer sur la tranquillité et la confiance. Recherche Ma volonté avant toute autre chose. Lorsque tu m’aimeras vraiment, tu voudras faire Ma volonté, car l’amour désire fortement faire tout pour le Bien-Aimé. Ainsi donc, quand tu entends Ma petite voix tranquille tout au fond de toi, fais jusqu’au bout tout ce que JE te demande par seul amour pour Moi. Sache que Je ne te ferai jamais défaut ni ne t’abandonnerai. Sache qu’il ne sortira que le meilleur de tout ce que tu fais à cause de Moi.

Imagine a woman who is interested in her own life.
A woman who embraces her life as teacher, healer, and challenge.
Who is grateful for the ordinary moments of beauty and grace.

Imagine a woman who participates in her own life.
A woman who meets each challenge with creativity.
Who takes action on her own behalf with clarity and strength.

Imagine a woman who has crafted a fully-formed solitude.
A woman who is available to herself.
Who chooses friends andlovers with the capacity to respect her solitude.

Imagine a woman who acknowledges the full range of human emotion.
A woman who expresses her feelings clearly and directly.
Who allows them to pass through her as naturally as the breath.

Imagine a woman who tells the truth.
A woman who trusts her experience of the world and expresses it.
Who refuses to defer to the thoughts, perceptions, and responses of others.

Imagine a woman who follows her creative impulses.
A woman who produces original creations.
Who refuses to color inside someone else’s lines.

Imagine a woman who has relinquished the desire for intellectual safety and approval.
A woman who makes a powerful statement with every action she takes.
Who asserts to herself the right to reorder the world.

Imagine a woman who has grown in knowledge and love of herself.
A woman who has vowed faithfulness to her own life.
Who remains loyal to herself. Regardless.

Imagine yourself as this woman.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear. I rise. Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear. I rise.
Maya Angelou

Je me souviens qu’à 16 ans, je ne comprenais pas comment elle et moi pouvions avoir deux perceptions aussi radicalement opposées de la même situation. Il me semblait qu’il y avait une interprétation objective des faits et une seule… et si je n’avais pas la prétention de détenir celle-ci, je me disais qu’elle devait se trouver à mi-chemin entre les deux, la troisième voie…
Aujourd’hui, j’ai tendance à penser que nous avions « raison » toutes les deux en même temps.

We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.

La citation du jour sur Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction :

You are magnificent beings, in the perfect place at the perfect time, unfolding perfectly, never getting it done, and never getting it wrong. Be more playful about all of it. « Today, no matter where I’m going, no matter what I am doing, and no matter who I’m doing it with — it is my dominant intent to look for that which I’m wanting to see. I’m wanting to find thoughts and words and actions that feel good while I’m finding them. For in doing so, I am, in the moment, practicing the art of allowing all that I’ve been telling the Universe I’m wanting, for all of the days of my existence
— Abraham

Des static cling decals, je vois ce que c’est mais je ne sais pas comment ça se dit en français ni s’il y a vraiment un terme pour les désigner… sur Creating Bliss il y en a avec des affirmations positives, comme All Is Well, Life Works ou encore Imagine, Believe, Receive…

A utiliser sans modération (ou même sans acheter quoi que ce soit), parce que la vie est plus belle avec des pensées positives.

Some things I’ve lost sight of these last past days (weeks ?)…

You do make a difference. There is no one like you in this entire world, no one with your talents, your eyes, your heart, your fingerprints or your dreams. You are inimitable and have been given the puissance and potential to make your life, this world, any way you want them to be. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done in the past, how many mistakes you’ve made, or how old you are. Right now, right this moment, you can choose differently. You can choose to be all you were created to be – vibrant, healthy, happy, centered and balanced, successful and peaceful. You can feel totally alive, filled with enthusiasm for life, the way you felt when you were a small child. Aliveness ! Fully alive and thriving ! It’s a choice and it’s your divine right.

Ce soir cette citation de Maya Angelou résonne…

A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.

« Phenomenal Woman »
from AND STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou,
copyright © 1978 by Maya Angelou.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

« …and then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more
painful than the risk it took to blossom. »
