Today's talk focuses on living from a greater place than to-do lists and what others may expect from us.
Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer,
Feel free to settle in wherever you are,
And just allow yourself to soak deeply in these words by David White in that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
Coming back to this life from the other.
In a more secret,
Movable,
And frighteningly honest world where everything began,
There is a small opening in the new day,
Which closes the moment you begin your plans.
What you can plan is too small for you to live.
What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough for the vitality hidden in your sleep.
To come in is to become visible,
While carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.
To remember the other world in this world is to live in your true inheritance.
You are not a troubled guest on this earth.
You are not an accident amongst other accidents.
You were invited from another and greater night than the one from which you have just emerged.
Now looking through the slanting light of the morning window,
Toward the mountain presence of everything that can be,
What urgency calls you to your one love?
What shape waits in the seed of you to grow and spread its branches against a future sky?
Is it waiting in the fertile sea?
In the tree beyond the house?
In the life you can imagine for yourself?
In the opening and lovely white pages on the writing desk?
The first time I read this poem,
I found it so inspiring for my own life.
And I wonder if today,
You can focus on living from a greater place than to-do lists and what others expect from you.
And most of all,
I hope that this day brings you peace.
