Great Falls [Spoken Word with Elena Brower]

There is a place within you that is always at rest, always at peace
An aspect of your being that is always within your reach and yet somehow we all forget
When we're in that place of peace, we experience our innermost strength, smoother edges, and boundless depth
And when we come from that place in our inner and outer relations
Every choice we make resounds throughout all creation
To come from this place of peace, think of your life as an ongoing broadcast every day
There is a broadcast within you
Thoughts, words, judgments, feelings
This broadcast is ancestral
Often utterly unconscious, and sometimes deeply healing
Especially when we're attentive to our breathing
There is also the broadcast going out to the world around you
Not necessarily through your words or your point of view
But through your subtlest silent signals that are teaching others how to treat you
And both of these transmissions need our attention
Because when we forget to live from that place of peace for too many hours, days, even a moment
We begin to believe we can't hold ourselves up
We easily forget that we're far more than enough
So we're asking and listening
We are here to give up this futile resistance
We're here to remember that every heartache, every challenge, every rejection, and every loss that seem to have such an exorbitant cost
Are actually here to carry us across to the next opening
The next expansion
