Waiting for the inevitable
is a great time for practicing
emptying ourselves of everything,
as empty as the space between breaths.

We do that by trusting ourselves
to our original nature,
our innate virtues--
the things we do best
and enjoy doing most--
and our intrinsic intuition.

These are our super powers
equipping us to face everything
that comes our way.

In their company,
we are capable of doing what is called for
in each situation as it arises,
and they are with us always,
to the end of our days.

By shifting our attention 
to our inner powers
we begin the emptying process,
and move from fear and anxiety,
to meditative contemplation
of our strengths.

Continue that drift of interest
by exploring your original nature,
becoming conscious of the things
that identify you and set you apart 
from all others.

What are the natural aspects of your identity?
The things that came with you from the womb?
Make a list of your natural characteristics,
and add to it as they continue to occur to you
over time.

The same thing goes for your inner virtues.
What do you do best?
What are the things you enjoy doing most?
Write them down.

And write your intuition a letter.
Asking questions.
Exploring possibilities.
Remembering times and places
when your intuition was guiding you
along the way.
As you write, let automatic writing
take over and allow yourself to be surprised
by the things you would never think to say,
but which are guiding your writing
in an intuitive kind of way,
so that your letter to your intuition
shifts and becomes a letter from your intuition
to you.

Play this way with your powers.
Open yourself to them throughout the day
and all the days ahead.

You Are Not Alone!
Exploring your inner world
introduces you to your own depths
and capabilities
in ways that invite you to know more
about yourself as you investigate
what you do know.

You have a world within.
Become best friends with it
and enjoy looking forward 
to what each day brings!
