What “wrong” can I “right” today?

When I read today’s question, I immediately connected it to today’s word. I think for me the “wrong” I wish to “right” has to do with the negative thought pattern I have struggled with all my life. It involves the difference between “being worthy” and “being of worth.” Today’s question and today’s quote prompted the following written meditation. It helped me to write it and I share it in hopes it can help another:
“When we trust our creativity, we encounter a supreme kind of enjoyment – an amazement at the natural unfolding of life beyond our ordinary way of looking at things.” Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

This quote grabbed me! What does it mean to“trust my creativity?” How often do I allow myself to pause, stop and enjoy the “natural unfolding of life?” How often do I let go and let life flow in and through me? If I truly believe that life is trust worthy, that I will always be shown a way through, why can’t I relax?

Perhaps, the challenge is my “ordinary way of looking at things.” I still, after 79 years on this earth, fear failure, crave acceptance, struggle to feel of worth. I am wounded. We are all wounded but to quote Henri Nouwen, “May we become wounded healers.” Perhaps the key to this quote is the word “creativity.” How often do I remember that we are all Creator? What we think, what we do matters. And so I pray: May I, may you, may we all develop a healthy love and acceptance of self that shares, cares and creates a kinder world.
