Light

I've been beating myself up lately for "not being serious enough."  The irony in that thought is that the act of beating oneself up is quite serious...

The word "Light" means and symbolizes so many things...  Every time I go against Lightness in Spirit, I encounter resistance...  Perhaps a lighter way of being is indeed the path to use when tackling the heavier stuff...  In some twisted paradox, the lightness can indeed bring light, can bring joy to a situation...

I notice one of the spiritual leaders I admire most, The Dalai Lama, despite tackling some deep heavy issues, he tends to have a warmth and lightness to his being.  How on Earth does one achieve such lightness in spirit...  A light that can transmute dark...  Lightness that goes beyond resistance...

I seem to have this inner struggle "to be better," yet when I push I find I'm knocked down.  Instinctively I know there's a way of being that feels lighter, that feels more free...

How does one give rise to such spontaneity of spirit?
