The power to bring happiness to others comes from the grace that fills your own being when you are more fully awake to your own essential goodness, one might even say divinity. This comes from "being" totally free of wanting to do anything since the wanting can lead us down a path of attachment. Of course in some way we must have the intention to uncover our own goodness and this is an active process but the intention is more open and spacious and not so dependant on rigid outcomes. With time the messages we received that convinced us that we were in some way not good enough (illusion) will fall away and reveal our true nature. And this will be enough to bring happiness, light, and refuge to all that comes into contact. This grace can be felt when in the presence of beauty in all its forms. Having the intention to discover or uncover that which is true within you (beauty) will bear fruit and radiate outwards into the world. A tree does not work for our approbation. It's very presence is enough to provide support for an abundance of life as well as nourishment for the soul. Standing in it's shade or climbing its limbs we are in touch with peace and happiness and in some way share in a rootedness with the earth that is both sustaining to us spiritually and also something which we deeply recognize in our own genetics. A tree is fully in its truth or essence and this touches us. In the same way, a person fully in their essence and living in their truth has uncovered the well-spring of happiness and can not help but share this with those who come into their cool shade. When we open to our essential goodness we are like a tree spreading shade and calm in all directions, deeply connected with our source. Nothing is more beautiful.

each night as I sit at the table,
