Each moment spent in a state of respect is felt through all we do.
How can we culivate devotion daily?
Moving intentionally.
Sitting quietly.
Noting when we interrupt, and when we gracefully navigate our interactions.
Granting unexpected kindnesses.
Arranging ourselves with abundance in our thinking, and our loving.
Orienting ourselves toward daily ritual until reverence becomes the only offering we make to ourselves, even when we falter.
Remembering to respect even in the face of disrespect, until respect becomes all we offer everyone, every time, everywhere.
And what if those around us seem less than reverent?
Our work is to hold to our own internal devotion. This is why we keep up our practices – to keep reminders of reverence nearby, so when doubt enters our environment (our own or another’s), we can hold the space naturally and effectively until the doubt dissipates.
Our work is indeed our own internal devotion. When we get to doing we stuff we really love, we become comforted and inspired and we keep on doing it. 🙂
What nice read:) So true, a daily dose of kindness to others is the way forward.
