Seashells

 

This is about showing up in life and what happens when life happens to us.

I live on a beach and I walk on it almost every morning. During my walks, I find beautiful shells. It used to be that I looked for the ones that were perfect. Isn't this how we all want to show up? Especially when we get up for our day--we're ready to go, we're dressed for work or for whatever it is we're going to be doing, and our hair looks good. Our makeup looks good. We've got a nice car and our outfit works, right?

Isn't that how we all like to show up?

And then, life happens. Before you know it, there's been a little erosion; we've had something happen. We've got a hole over here, or we got a whole big chunk knocked out over here.

The cool thing about that is, if we're willing to let that be an experience, it lets us see what's inside, what's inside of us, and what's underneath that facade that we construct so carefully.

I like to think about what's inside as my eternal essential self. I like to live from my eternal essential self. Sometimes when life has knocked a few holes in my exterior, it's easier for me to access it.

Then there's the day that I show up like this--I mean, really dressed up. Look at the beautiful detail here. Look at the colors, look at all of this.

Before you know it, life comes along and smashes me. All of a sudden, this is what I look like--I know you've had days like that, where you've been smashed open by life.

Then all of a sudden, look, the interior is wide open. Whatever life just brought me that smashed me wide open like this has given me the opportunity to access and to work from my deepest essential self.

I found this one this morning. I know it's small, and you probably can't see it. But this one has been eroded away in a way that you can see right through into the essential self.

Then, there's some people that have come along for a ride; there's a shell in here that has inserted itself and joined along for the ride. There's two more shells that have come in here. I thought about that when I picked that up. I thought "oh, isn't that beautiful?". I didn't notice it was that it was broken, or it wasn't perfect, or it wasn't the way you like to have it on your shelf. I was intrigued by the fact that I could see all the way into the center of this, and that some other shells had come along for the ride.

Isn't that how life works to those that are drawn to us and how we get to spend our lives with them?

I don't know about you, but sometimes life just blows the top right off, and that's what happened with this shell. When it does blow the top right off (if we think about that metaphorically, and that that would be our head or our brain), it allows our heart center and it allows us access all the way into our deepest recesses into our truest self so that we, in fact, don't even have to worry about working from that brain.

We get to work from the heart intelligence; from our heart center and from all of the beingness and the spirit that is us.

This last piece that I found (I loved so much, clearly), it's a part of one of these that got that life smashed it around. This looks like a crown to me; how beautiful that it came from one of these stones. This looks like a beautiful crown that was given to me from the ocean. So I like to think about that.

Of course, this would be the crown to our beingness, not as a beautiful crown to put on our head, but as an acknowledgment to the power and the majesty that we carry as essential eternal beings and how we choose to show up in life.

If I don't show up all dressed up, made up, in the right car, and in the right outfit, at least I know I'm showing up with the goodness shining through.
