    In studying Gurumayi’s Message, I am becoming clear that time is always reflecting a truth to me, moment to moment. If I look closely with the support of grace, I see again and again in the mirror of time when I am in alignment with my highest purpose and when I am not.

     

    I’m finding that the joy of living seems to be released in the moments when I am in conscious connection with the power of the moment at hand and using it wisely. Time seems to reflect my degree of alignment to my highest purpose with amazing nuance.

     

    As I continue to study Gurumayi’s Message, I am understanding teachings from years past about time that had previously eluded me. I’m experiencing that time is Conscious, alive, vibrating with light, and that it is a constant companion, providing uninterrupted support and input into my every moment of choice. I see that I can always count on time to reflect the truth of every moment: was I aligned, was I seated in the Self, was I making a good choice?

    I believe that “the truth of time” can set me free of a sense of urgency. There was a season in my life, perhaps more than one, when I believed that healing could be rushed, that understanding could be forced, and that transformation would arrive in one glorious, thunderous moment. But time has shown me otherwise. When I sit for meditation, I am reminded of the process of returning to the breath, over and again.

     

    I used to think “truth” was something to be lived boldly, vigorously, even urgently. Now I know it is something to simply be with. And, in this slower, more tender rhythm, my relationship to and with time has become less of a destination and more of a process—a gentle unraveling, a quiet homecoming.

     

    For me, there is a painful, necessary beauty in letting go of urgency. Coming to terms with “the truth of time” has helped me to make peace with temporal impermanence. It has whispered, not shouted. It has been offering me new understandings, slowly, one breath at a time.
