Go where the subtle is.

It took me quite some time to understand this but I am so grateful for all the teachers who taught me this, who showed me a way to honour also the subtleness of life.
We are so much attracted to big things, strong emotions that pull us towards and think that this is it. But sometimes that's actually not it. Sometimes what we need is to learn that subtle can be really a lot.

 
Big drama, big love, strong passion is certainly what draws our attention but then we forget the subtle, the small, the little, the soft.

 
Some of my teachers started to show me, "Have you noticed the little shift in you? " "No I don't know what do you mean?" and they started to show me, how to notice the subtle. The subtle change in our body, the subtle change in our mind pattern, the subtle change in a behaviour. Because the subtle change in our life that we do can be actually huge. One subtle after another one, how much is that over a year or two years etc.

 
Not everyone is able and can do a big change, but instead of saying this is too much for me, I don't have energy for this, try to ask yourself: "What if I can do at least something today, how much can I do? Or how little at least can I do?" Do it for yourself. How little can you run today, how little better can you behave today, or a little more love can you show today, how little bit more can you have compassion towards yourself?"

Nature is especially good at this. In a spring time, there is a little unnoticeably shift in growth of leaves, of the flower getting to bloom, just a little every day and two months past and we think that: "Wow, everything is green and colourful". The drums will not start beating when the rainbow shows up, the sun rise is not coming up with orchestra playing.

Yet there are many who will not even notice, the subtle but amazing at once. The birds song in the trees will not be the same tomorrow.

The more you will start to pay attention to these subtle remainders of beauty in life, the less to will be attracted to the dramas, you will start to really more and more notice and enjoy them. The simple, but powerful subtleness of life.

 
In these soft energies we can find the peace within. The more you practice it, the better you get better at it.

So next time when you see the sun rise or the sun set, remind yourself that there is a great beauty in the subtle...
