Day 5 - The Courage Of Genius
Mirrors and sunlight do not make choices. Mirrors and the sun show all that is. Life is a cosmic mirror and pure awareness shines on all of life experience, not just on what we would like. Vulnerability is the key to access genius.
It is frightening to be vulnerable. And yet what we fear is also the edge of what will provide answers we would never imagine. It is tough because our vulnerability is the thin line that covers our grief and our fear. It is our fatigue, but it is also the source of our compassion and deepens our ability to love and to create.
The invitation to genius has to be a commitment to wholeness, to acceptance of what is. Genius is always an ally to what iis, because genius is sublime clarity of what is. There is no flaw, no stigmatism in the eye of God.
Genius is our bigness. We can hurt and be lost and still be open to change. Our social anxieties are also our avenues for compassion. The challenges we have faced and the lessons we have learned provide us with the tools to face and transform this time. Our vulnerabilities and the emotions we feel require tremendous courage to face, but when we do we find genius is there for us every time.
