THE SMILE

A smile is not just a smile, it is much more.
There is a smile of triumph, a smile that demands attention and to be admired. There is a smile that wants to please, one that is false, one that is conditioned and conditioning. And a smile that is out to deceive.
There is a smile which is mysterious, one which is curious and one full of questioning and doubt.
All of these smiles resemble masks, that are rigid and repeatable.
And there is a smile which is unique, a smile of rapturous joy and full of lightness. It occurs in the moment and is continually fresh and new. A smile which is true, giving and sharing its inherent love with the world. This kind of smile is like an unconditional "yes" that arises from the heart and makes others feel accepted unconditionally.

To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...
