There is often so much focus around letting yourself take up space, around coming into your greatness, around embodying all that you are. Yes, great, true. Yet also, remain small.
Not small in the sense of shying away, holding back, belittling your greatness. Small in the sense of microscopic, in the sense that as we disappear into the truth of our being, we may discover the miraculously infinitesimal size of our focus which may penetrate through anything and everything and, in doing so, merge with just about anything. Know—on a sensual level—just about everything. Feel, in a deeply intimate way, just about anything—like momentary feelings that may surprise us, delight us, and obliterate us beyond imagination, where each experience has us returning to profound presence, gratitude, and humility, again and again. Small—in the sense of Holy Smallness.
We must remain Holy Small if we are to remain true, because they go hand in hand. To be true is to also be small, and to be in the humility and precision of this Holy Smallness is to also be true. And what is so wild and amazing about this Holy Smallness is that despite its tiny size, it is somehow also the most expansive, connected, widest thing in existence. It is the telescope to Divinity itself, the laser beam of love, the extraordinary gaze of openness and welcome, the very lens of God itself. By allowing ourselves to drop into the quiet depth and portal of this small awareness, we may discover the profound nature of our interconnectedness, and realize that through this very lens, this very Holy Smallness, we may enter into just about anything—and in a beautiful way.
Through Holy Smallness, we may cross borders without ever crossing a boundary. We may somehow allow the fragrance of love to jump from the lens through which we see and enter into the perception of the other, thereby disintegrating walls, melting plastic “no trespassing” signs, all by doing the only thing we can really do to offer love in this world, which is to Just Be, and Be True.
And it’s through Holy Smallness itself that the mumbo-jumbo of our manufactured smallness loses its power to keep overtaking the beauty of our being. Through Holy Smallness, our exotic fragrances have space to rise through us and beyond us, sharing its deliciousness with the world. Again, just by being. Just by allowing our focus to align and Self-correct! (I say “just,” but we all know it is a big journey to let the patterns of our focus unwind and rest in a loving space. I like to say the best thing we can do is simply “just keep coming back.”) It’s a path, this Holy Smallness. It’s the path of meditation. It’s the path of Love.
