I am a lover of philosophy and this passion has brought some wonderful and powerful insights into my life as a wife,
Mother,
Sister,
Daughter,
Friend,
Leader,
Human being.
One such gift is the Latin saying,
Veni,
Vidi,
Amavi,
Which translates in English to I came,
I saw,
I loved.
I came to be here and now,
This place and this time.
I came.
I saw beauty and pain,
Joy and sorrow.
I saw.
I loved all of it,
Myself,
Others,
All beings,
All experiences,
All of everything unconditionally.
I loved.
Each time I feel challenged,
Lost,
Powerless,
Alone.
When I question my purpose,
Every time before I teach or lead,
I meditate on this profound truth.
Veni,
Vidi,
Amavi.
I came.
I saw.
I loved.
Join me.
Find a comfortable position.
Close your eyes if you can.
Relax your body.
Take a deep belly breath.
And silently repeat after me.
Veni,
Vidi,
Amavi.
Veni,
Vidi,
Amavi.
Veni,
Vidi,
Amavi.
May this powerful truth act as a compass to navigate you home and bring you the same peace and comfort it brings to me.
