Allowing ourselves to be led is such a fun and exciting thing to do! One of the latest adventures in non-planning I've had has been in choosing a DVD at the library. Rather than read reviews, or ask friends, or even read the titles, I stand in front of the shelf and allow movies to call to me. The most recent DVD which jumped off the shelf is entitled, "Baraka". Oh my goodness! When I started watching this, I hadn't even read the cover. I only knew there was a photo of an eclipsed sun with its title. So it was very confusing when this film started and quickly skipped from what appeared to be Mongolian mountains to monks and priests deep in ritual, then moved to a beautiful baboon, with the most wonderfully expressive eyes, sitting in a hot, steaming pool of water. Adding to both my confusion and an attempt to attach no meaning to what I was seeing, there were no words to go with the mind-boggling glimpses into the lives of multitudes of people around the globe. At first I thought this film was not for the faint of heart, but by the end I had decided that all six billion of us would benefit by its viewing. This is the type of movie that will hit you where you need it! Towards the last of this smorgasbord, I had started to hum. I was om-ing in harmony with it, feeling oneness in a way I've not before experienced. I truly felt I was "walking with God in perfect holiness", along with everyone and everything. Another line from today's lesson reads, "As you step back, the light in you steps forward and encompasses the world." As I go through this day, my personal opinions will step back out of the way, allowing a perfect self to shine for the world. Bits and pieces of this beautiful movie will weave in and out of my daily doings, bringing deep reflection and a smile.
