Inspiration can be found any where... literally any where. Todays reflection was inspired by this new show "TOUCH," in which an savant child has the gift of seeing how intangled all our lives are. If we saw even a fraction of how much synchronisity is happening all the time we might be welling up with awe and not talk or hardly function in this world. Further more he doesn't just see the connections he sees as they illustrate for us viewers the "red" strings said by the chinese said to be tied to our ankle, the destiny line, that when tangled, stretched and not followed all the way thru causes pain in the cosmic organism of life.One of the things that I have learned through my yoga studies is that sadness can be counter weighted by WONDER! Wonder can really counter weigh any of the denser feelings. It brings lightness. When depressed my bones feel heavy, my skin feels crawly and adgitated. When I'm in the state of wonder as I was watching this show for the first time thru hulu I felt carried, light and free to the vastness of possibilities.
Not only does this show discuss the connections it illustrates them thru simple and yet very complex math. Simple because this child naturally sees the "golden mean ratio," or number that is the ratio for beauty, balance and progression. This ratio is the same for all of us and everything. Though on the surface we are all extremely complex and look so different, everything is proportionate to something else. Proportionate by the same exact ratio... 1.618.
Since we can't all see these connections, how do we remember that we are apart of the cosmic fabric? Especially when we have totally forgotten and lost touch?
For me this was simple last night I was pulled by my heart to investigate something new. Make a new connection for the sake of curiousity. When letting my curiousity guide me and I actually find something that is inspiring, notice I didn't say like or dislike, just inspiring to make me feel something then I have made a new connection. One that was unexpected, guided by curiousity and sustained by wonder. Who would have thought a new TV show could inspire me to view things through a new lense?
