The reason I’m doing this
blog is because whenever I listen to my internal voice, some call it wisdom or inspiration,
and act accordingly, my life is better than imaginable.
One of many examples is the following: Sometime in early
2005 I was sitting in meditation and heard that voice of
wisdom urge me to go to a cafe that I had heard about
before, but had never been to. Ok, fine I’ll go; seems
harmless enough. I went there that very day, when
apparently they were near closing, and there were no
other customers. Nonetheless, I felt drawn to
stay since again, something so
compelled me to go.
I sat down with my
laptop and began working on a project.
Then shortly after, the owner came up and we talked about art, amongst other
things. When he found out I was an artist he asked to
see my work. I just so happened to have some images on
my computer, so I showed him those. He immideately
asked if I wanted to have a show there, and I said “Sure,”
and “Thank you!” Fast forward several months later, I
had my show, and I don’t want to brag but it was
very successful. But wait, we’re
not done yet. Fast forward maybe about 6 months after the
show: It is January 18, 2006, and I go there one
afternoon for lunch with a bunch of
co-workers, and lo and behold our server is this really cute
guy who later becomes my husband. Exactly two years
from that meeting we had our rehearsal dinner at this
very cafe…and now, as I approach our two-year anniversary
I honor this idea of shutting up long enough to listen and
then to act, with the idea that
maybe just maybe, our internal life has more in store for
us than we may think, and that the seemingly innocent
ideas generated in silence
like “hey, go try this cafe” actually lead you beyond
your wildest dreams, all the way, to your bliss.
