You Are My Other Self
“You are my other self” ~Β traditionalΒ Toltec greeting
π
What if
Before each encounter
I paused?
Allowing Toltec wisdom to wash away
Insecurity
Negative energy
Fears of being rebuffed or of overwhelming?
Might everyday interactions become valued affairs
Rather than ordeals to endure?
What if
I envisioned hearts sharing the same tender beat?
Might compassion and patience take precedence when going about my daily tasks
Unveiling another’s brightness by honoring them with my best?
π
Dear Universe,
When self-absorption engulfs
And I fail to acknowledge those around me
Please jar my senses
Guiding me back to what matters most
Initiating connectivity
Generating goodness
Be it a smile, helping hand, or chipper word
Never alienating
Bridging spirits
Thereby enriching my own
Imparting sunshine
Ever cognizant:
You are my other self
π
Dedicated to my treasured readers.
Thanks for your vitalizing support — my heart is full because of YOU! π
