Monday in My Coffee Cup

Monday morning for me is meditation time.


I know a lot of people choose Sunday, to reflect on the week past, but I am choosing to meditate on what is to come, and how to prepare for my week.


I am not necessarily a religious person, but I like to think that every religion has something to offer.  Today I am feeling a passage from the Tao Te Ching.


Verse 11:

Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room; It is the holes that make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

The part that sticks out for me is the part about the vessel.  The space within makes it useful - moreover, being empty gives chance to become full.


I have been letting a lot of things out of my inner prison as of late.  This is to allow myself to become full with the new life changes I am going through; the new adventure I am starting.


I am dealing with moving my entire life to a new state, starting a new (and serious) relationship, starting a new job, and all the little things that come along with these changes.  All these things are happening within a month, and I'm a little freaked out.  But if I read this passage from the Tao Te Ching, it reminds me to purge all my bad energy to be able to receive all the positive good energy that is on its way.


Sorry for such a deep passage on a Monday morning, but this is how I felt with my coffee this morning; a new sun on the horizon.


Thanks for reading my lovelies!
