To replenish - fill (something) up again:

Restore to the former level or condition.

 

The note below, today, is just a reminder to replenish. 

Remember, you are not an unlimited resource, but

a spiritually powered life that requires recharging, 

re-energizing. Meditation, prayer, a mindful walk,

even a few minutes of focused breathing will go

a long way to maintain and sustain your equilibrium.  

 

REPLENISHING 

Sometimes we must just stop and refresh,

to settle down our teeming minds, to allow 

the overflowing expectations to find their

level, as we close our eyes and reacquaint

ourselves with the beauty of a solitary breath.

Sometimes we must say no to more and yes

to less, moving away from the woodpile,

searching instead for a more soothing

moment where peace, power, and poise

may be reclaimed.

Sometimes our show of strength is best

unleashed in well-timed inaction, with our

hearts, souls, and minds at rest, replenishing,

restoring both sanity and sense until

the courage of our - not so forgotten

will - convinces us to forge ahead.

THE SIMPLE ACT OF DOING

Today, let us find ourselves in the simple

act of doing lost in purposeful pursuits,

free of controversy or debate, just one

with the activity of living, clearly

connected with our own productivity.

 

Today, as we do what must be done,

let us be encouraged and bolstered by

our skillful performance, the articulation

of our intentions into a useful form or

service, knowing that within this

efficiency exists our worthy dedication

to a more valuable existence.

 

Today, let no thought or unreleased

resistance tamper with our power,

our rightful Flow experience,

well aware it is even these small

measures of effort, which combined,

accumulate into mountains, moved

and towers erected that form our

legacy and prepare our destiny.

RELEASE THE EXPECTATION 

Today let us release the expectation

of what should be and accept what is –

letting the dynamic tension dissolve,

freeing us to live within the potential

of what is real, tangible, and doable now,

making the most of existing opportunities.

 

Today let us move from expectation

to the realization that we have the resources

before us to create our perfect life now –

all that is needed is our participation,

our willingness to return to this life now

with full force and enthusiasm,

ready to make each moment count.

 

Today let us vow to let ego based

expectation be replaced with divine

based acceptance, knowing where we

need to be and what we are, reside in

the splendor of the day – let us welcome

it with open arms and gratitude.

CREATIVE CONTROL

Today, let us realize that we are each

in control of our individual life creations –

knowing we have, through our thoughts,

intentions, and desires brought this life

we experience now into tangible form

and have the power to make adjustments

via the same creative process.

 

Today, looking at our creations, let us

assess what is now existing - determining

what works well and what may require

an adjustment or even a radically new

approach - knowing the skills to do both

exist within us all.

 

Today, let us open ourselves up to the

power of purposeful change that

we possess – the creative power of

our minds teamed with divine support.

It is impossible to ignore the significance

of doing productive work for our flourishing,

for our well-being. The note below expresses

this essential nature of work, whether we

are pounding nails or a keyboard, we are

attached to our work, our creation. 

 

Whatever our work is today, let us do it

with the uppermost dedication and engagement,

understanding the true significance of a life

lived in earnest. 

 

LIFE LIVED IN EARNEST 

Take to the doing today, the producing,

the accomplishing, focused, fluid, totally

one with the activity of authentic labor –

clear in its purpose and intended use –

fresh and hot off the press.

Lose your inhibitions today, allowing

all vital energy to flow to and from

the task at hand - feel your vitality

nourish your determination, knowing

within these efforts exists the true

music of the spheres - heart, mind,

and spirit engaged in doing.

Pound away with joy in your heart today,

as each stride opens a wider perspective,

each tug brings your intentions in clearer

view, being one with the experience – this

optimal experience - this life lived in earnest.
