in a recent conversation, a dear friend commented about the lack of spirituality in her life right now. she said she used to meditate, write poetry, sing and write music.
then she went on to tell me about all that she had been doing...tirelessly working with people who are unhoused, actively supporting children in africa, caring for her grandson and his canine friend.
a word popped out of my mouth as i reminded her about all of this. i told her i was certain she did all these things ‘enspirited’. i'm not sure if i had just created this word. i like it! i smiled as it tumbled through my lips.spiritual life can’t be measured in how often we sit on the cushion,
or how many times we attend a service,
or how many yoga classes we attend.
it can, however, be experienced in our connection...to ourselves, to others, to the planet and to something that transcends.to be enspirited is to be fully present with whatever is in the moment.to be enspirited is to be alive to each passing breath, each passing thought, each passing step, each passing movement, each passing sight, smell, taste.to be enspirited is to be with each feeling, each sensation.to be enspirited to live and to love.
