Have you ever witnessed the profound impact of simple human kindness? A small gesture, a compassionate word, or even just a silent presence can illuminate another’s world in the darkest of times. It’s a reminder of our inherent capacity to offer love and support without expectation of return.
There is a profound beauty in this simplicity. In a world often consumed by the relentless pursuit of validation, achievement, and external approval, there exists a quiet, radiant power that emanates from within each of us. It is the power of being, of offering oneself without expectation – of shining like the sun.
“There was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry.” – – “Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, “You owe me”. Look what happens with a love like that, It lights the whole sky…” – Hafez
“The Earth would die if the sun stopped kissing her.” – Hafez
“The sun will stand as your best man and whistle when you have found the courage to marry forgiveness. When you have found the courage to marry Love.” – Hafez
“How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all of its beauty? It felt the encouragement of Light against its being; otherwise we all remain too frightened.” – Hafez
I so love the image of the Sun bathing us in its light without ever asking for anything in return. Without trying hard to BE anything, the Sun’s true expression is in service of the Universe around it and doesn’t require reward. When we show up as love, we are not so different.
In the same way, we are called to shine our own unique light. We are invited to embody this symbology of the sun: generosity, warmth, and unwavering presence. This doesn’t require extraordinary feats or superhuman abilities. It simply involves showing up authentically, offering a listening ear, or extending a helping hand.
The authentic expression of your SOUL asks for no validation and always touches the world around you with its light, just like the little boy by just being himself, helps an old man cry.
This image of the Sun shining on Earth made me think of “I am the mountain”. Join us to discover the immovable presence of your being within you.
A few thoughts to remind you of the light that you are:
- I too, am a source of light and love.
- The expression of my soul needs no validation.
- I am courageous and resilient, like the sun.
- The light in me, recognizes the light in you.
As you walk your path on this transformative journey, there is no need to try and be anything but the light that you already are. Remember the innocent wisdom of the young boy. Let your light shine brightly, without fear or reservation. You are a source of warmth and comfort to those around you.
Have a beautiful day peeps!
