Day 18

Can you recognize the air around you as the truest thing?

The breath that moves in and out of your body without you asking.

The space you occupy right now—in this exact moment—is more real than any dream you’re chasing.

It’s here. It’s always been here. It holds everything you’ve ever wanted.

So often we’re reaching, grasping, striving.

For success. For love. For answers.

But what if everything you’re seeking isn’t somewhere else? What if it’s right here, right now?

Right here, right now, patiently waiting for you.

Can you pause, soften, and ask the space around you for help?

The space that holds your body, your thoughts, your grief, your hope.

The space that holds trees and stars and strangers and lovers.

Can you ask the force—the animating presence that moves through all things—for guidance?

Can you drop the weight of having to figure it all out yourself?

Can you set your ego down, like a bag that’s too heavy, and surrender to the current that already knows where to take you?

Can you say this out loud?

Please, help me.

Not because you’re weak.

Because you’re ready.

Because you’re listening.

Because you’re finally willing to receive what’s been trying to reach you all along.

Let the space hold you. Let the silence answer. Let presence reveal.

Let God speak.
