Beneath the Sky

Cultivating Inner Peace

Have you ever stretched out on the grass, face turned upward, and just watched the sky?

By day, the sky mirrors water: soft, flowing, alive. Clouds drift and dance like whispers of wind, inviting our imaginations to wander. By night, the stars shimmer and twinkle against a blanket of darkness, reminding us that even in shadow, light still dares to shine. 

Since the great stillness of 2020, we've all been learning to live again, but differently this time. We've had to rewrite our narratives, reshape our perspectives, and rediscover what truly matters. We've been learning the quiet art of communication, not just with others, but with ourselves. We've been learning what it means to belong, to grieve, to heal, and to grow all at once. 

And maybe, most importantly, we've been learning how to stay rooted to the earth beneath our feet, to the people who hold space for us, and to the version of ourselves we're still becoming. 

Yes, the world hums with noise and distractions. But even amid the chaos, we have the power to cultivate peace, to tend the garden of our hearts with intention. Relationships, like gardens, require care and patience. Everyone carries their own story, their own way of seeing. Yet we still get to choose how we show up with compassion, curiosity, and love. 

So, take a moment. Step outside. Breathe deeply. Look up. The same sky that has watched over generations before you still holds space for your becoming. 

Affirmation:

I am both rooted and rising, grounded in who I am, and open to who I am still becoming. 

Question to Reflect On: 

What part of your life is asking you to slow down, listen, and grow differently this time?
