Epiphany

“a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you”

Just before I randomly chose today’s value word, I happened to notice the text message I sent to my friend yesterday. It said: “well we are in crazy times”. An instant internal Q & A happened in that moment where I wondered “what can we do about living in crazy times?”. The answer came: “focus on doing at least one thing a day to make this world a better place”. I shared this with my friend and then proceeded to pull today’s word.

As soon as I saw the word “epiphany”, I knew that that “thought” had been an “aha” moment…an epiphany. I love having the “aha” moments…they’re magical. Quite often they happen while taking a shower, or just as I’m starting to wake up, or when I’m watching a movie and someone says line that just seems to leap off the screen and into my “aha” brain receptacle. It’s like a portal opens, allowing for a momentary stream of consciousness to enter and zap us with enlightenment.

That being said, I’m feeling pulled to elaborate on today’s “aha” message about doing one thing a day to make this world a better place. When I shared it with my friend they replied: fantastic idea…how do you define “world”? Our home, Neighborhood? Nation? Etc? Excellent question to which I shared:

“Any of the above. For instance it could be that you see a piece of trash on the ground. Picking it up and putting it in a trash bin just made that space a better place.” The key to this particular epiphany is the intention…to go about our day with the intention of doing at least one thing a day to make this world (locally, nationally, globally, and/or galactic-ally) a better place in some way.

And if we’re not sure of what to do than we can approach it from another angle by asking ourselves: “is what I’m about to do going to make ‘this world’ a better place…is it going to be an improvement or a detriment…is it going to make someone’s day better of worse?”

How about you? Is epiphany a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
