Dive with freedom and create ripples of Love

On a perfect Friday evening, I walked into the sea, clothes and all, to cool off at the end of a walk. For a split second, I wondered if it was a good idea. I questioned the sensibility of getting my clothes wet, as if being sensible was more important than my desire to swim.

But I did swim. I dived in and was immediately rewarded by an explosion not only of splash, but of freedom. For in that moment, through that simple choice, I had honoured not my conditioning, not my fear of looking inappropriate, but my freedom to allow my instinctive desires to guide me.

I can’t always honour externally the callings of my heart. We don’t live in a society that offers full freedom of choice, and I appreciate the need for limitations at times. We are not yet all awakened within, and so when there are choices coming not from a heart but a mind, they are often not aligned with the All.

One day, when we are all being guided through our heart and not our head, our choices will always align with the All. We will have gained, en masse, an appreciation of our connectedness that will offer us awareness that we are united through Love, and our choices and actions will reflect this heightened awareness.

But for now, regardless of external limitations, I can honour my fullness of freedom within. Instead of offering resentment to limitations, I can focus on the freedom of my heart, nurturing it in simple ways. And the more I am choosing freedom and not fear, the more I am resonating a frequency of Love that will ultimately free the all.

When I swam clothes and all, honouring a calling from within, I was brilliantly emanating fierce joy, almost contagious in its presence at that time. My laughter was an echo of freedom from my mind.

I’m not saying we all need to swim in our clothes! I am saying that when we act not from the supposed tos but the heartfelt want tos, we are nurturing our fullness, for our heartfelt desires are always for the good of the all.

We are all swimming in one ocean, and when we dive brilliantly with freedom, we splash one another, not with water but with Love.

Thank you.
