Peace is a garden in your heart

And so here is another writing exercise.  Still trying to open to the voice within.  The key is not to judge the words that aI find here.  There is no need to worry about whether they are good enough.  This is true so often in life.  You don't sing because you do not think you are good enough.  You are afraid of being embarrassed.

What is embarrassment anyway?  Is it fear that someone will look at what you offer and judge it as not sufficient?  Is it a fear that someone will mock you?  What if there is a person whose nature it is to mock?  Will it then be your goal to prevent them from doing so?  You have to release these limiting self judgments.  Do for those who appreciate.

Edit not to avoid harsh judgment but for love.  Why do you take care to use grammar and spell correctly if you are not trying to impress anyone?  Because it is an act of love.  It is like weeding a garden.  It is showing that you value what you create.

Love comes from inside and to have love you must give love.  You can give love through your writing.  By taking the care and time to make it pretty, to make it correct, you create a beautiful garden.  It is not your concern who else may enjoy it or explore it.  It is sufficient that you create it.  All of creation is my garden, and the point is not to call people to explore your little section.  The point is to simply create.

So create a space of peace.  A space of beauty.  Create this garden first in your own heart, and then manifest it into the world.  This little essay is a meadow in your garden.  Whoever enters here will find the holy presence of peace.  For this peace is within their heart, and by being here and reading this, they will be reminded of it.

So dear reader, dear traveler.  I do not know how it is that you have come to be here.  But know that you are welcome.  Know that whatever it is that you fear, whatever it is that you perceive in the world outside yourself cannot enter into this most sacred space within your heart.  This is where you will retreat when the world outside you turns to dust.  When your body is wracked with pain and your health is failing you.  In the darkness of a prison.  When all hope from outside is gone.  Find your peace here, because this is where it exists.  Peace is a garden in your heart.
