“As the inner vision is awakened, one comes to know one’s own home, deep within the self.”

SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB

During a visit to Rome years ago, I had the opportunity to view Michelangelo’s stunningly lifelike and luminescent sculpture, La Pieta. Later, when I tried to describe the masterpiece to an artist friend, he told me that Michelangelo had a detailed inner vision of the completed work long before he first took hammer and chisel to the huge block of marble.

We, too, can rely on inner visions to help us build our lives, especially at those times when we temporarily veer off the path of healing and become disillusioned and confused. We need not be artists or even think of ourselves as creative individuals in order to develop inner visions and then bring them to reality.

An inner vision of capability can eventually lead to self-assurance, confident decision-making, and the ability to again see ourselves right-sized.

An inner vision of wellness can begin to manifest itself in greater acceptance, positive attitudes, and renewed hope.

An inner vision of harmony can bring an end to conflict and discord and mark the beginning of peace of mind.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The best of me is within.
