Day 51 of 52 Days:  Red Crystal Serpent

The body is constantly in a state of renewal.  Our body renews itself and changes in many ways all the time.  Our skin renews itself every 28 days.  Our entire body renews itself every 7-8 years.  I don’t even want to try to figure out how many times my skin has renewed itself in my 60 years of living on this earth, however, as far as my body totally renewing itself every 7-8 years…that would mean that I’ve had a new body close to 8 times.  Wow!  That’s an awesome fact!

Wouldn’t you think there would be some discomfort associated  with the body and all of its many systems constantly in a state of renewal?  Yet my awareness is not normally at the cellular level, so the changes happen organically, naturally. 

The body takes care of those things without any prompting.  It’s the day-to-day types of changes that happen…the stresses, the environment, the political unrest, the emotional outbursts, the mental anguish…these things can be uncomfortable.  Yet as the picture says…”LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.”

One of my intentions during this second half of my life is to know courage and speak the truth.  Makes life pretty darned interesting — definitely not boring.  Discerning what one’s “truth” is as opposed to what one’s “opinion” is can be a fascinating study.  I find most people have opinions and quite often those opinions have nothing to do with “the Truth”.  The Truth is not a revolution — it is a revelation.  And revelations often come at the price of comfort. 

Today I am renewed.  My body, my mind, my heart, my spirit — unbound and free.  Now I am living life fully.  Today I dance.
