Pausing for thought
There is a piece of Fluorite in my office, sitting on top of a bookcase with a small lamp above and window to one side. The rock which is a dusky purple colour and about 12cm high is standing upright so the light can shine through it showing its structure. On close inspection it's got quite an amazing geometric arrangement, a cubic system of layers within. It almost seems like city skyscrapers with steps and ledges. You can look through it, layer upon layer. There are dark areas where it is dense, and it is almost translucent in others. It glows and looks at me as I sit at my desk. it's nice. It's more than nice. It's extraordinary.
It is also around 100 million years old. Formed naturally over time and comprises Calcium Fluoride, with small amounts of yttrium and cerium. Whatever they are. Apprarently it is also healing. Metaphysically it is said to promote clarity of mind, aid concentration, meditation and aid my ability to grasp higher concepts. It facilitates order, helps balance and is stabilizing. However I've still to experience this. It's called Polly. It didn't have a name before I started writing this blog, but it does now. Polly.
Its wonderful glowing and translucent appearance makes it look new, belying its actual age and I have to remind myself of what I'm looking at or holding when I pick it up. I get the sense it's wise. It is also humbling. It makes me realise my mortality and how precious life is. That I am only here for comparitivly such a short time. And I owe it to myself to make the most of it. This doesn't mean that I've got to rush out and do a hundred things in the day, visit every country on earth and write ten more books. It means appreciate life more generally, what's around me and what I have.
So stopping for a minute, to appreciate the beauty of this ancient stone, I give myself time to also reflect. There truly is calmness in the world. I'm looking at it within this translucent stone. It can also exist in me If I let it. As I stop, and through my appreciation of this stone my vibrations change and my senses seem to be on a higher level. The problems of today seem rather less significant and trivial. There is bigger stuff out there. There is big energy out there. And I am part of it. You are also part of it.
By stopping, we can give ourselves time to contemplate and gel more with the Universal Energy that surrounds us. It's calming, peaceful, healing and restorative. It is invigorating, enlivening, spiritual and everlasting. For my short time here, I think I'll endeavour to connect with this more often. It helps make life feel great.
Thank you Polly.
