Awestruck - by Leslie Smith

Whenever I see a shooting star, I am awestruck. I guess it's because it reminds me of how large and mysterious the Universe really is. I've never seen the Northern Lights in person, but I can imagine that they are gorgeous. There are so many beautiful things that our eyes are able to behold. Is there any person whose eyes do not widen when they see something so wonderful?

Then there is Science. Science can take the mystery right out of the mysterious. Or can it?

There are explanations for shooting stars and for the Northern Lights, and for many different things that produce a sense of wonder inside of us. But is it the full explanation? Probably not. Even Scientists change their ideas on things every so often.

This is because the world outside is in a constant state of motion. Things on the outside never stay the same.

The inner world, the world that lives within us, is much the same. It feels as if we are in constant motion. Things are ever changing. Our lives unfold in a series of pages, as in a book. One day is not the same as another. We may try to hold onto something, to try to make it ‘not change', but that rarely works. If we don't allow things to change, we will be stuck in the same place, having the same ideas for years and years.

Be awestruck by the wonders of your inner world.

I must add that there IS one thing that does not ever change, for there is no need. That one thing is the essence of you, rather, your soul. Your soul has been and will always be. Your soul waits for discovery, in a state of no-thing, waiting for you to tap into it.

Blessings,
Leslie
