Internity – the state of being within

When we admire an old tree that’s hundreds of years old, it helps to recognise within ourselves, that if we planted a tree today, we won’t get to see it in its grand maturity in this lifetime.
And yet we plant that tree anyway, as we simply know it’s the inspired and right thing to do now, in this here moment. We may not reap much fruit from it ourselves over our remaining years, but this doesn’t stop us.

However, we do know it will benefit those who follow on behind. Just as we are appreciating the ancient tree before us now, perhaps planted by another person inspired to do so, all those years ago.

So what are your true hearts desires now? What seeds do you wish to sow now, whose fruits you may not personally reap?
What is it within you that your true ‘Self’, your true Soul wishes to bring forth right here, right now?

Do not worry so much about the immediate results, simply allow yourself to express/be/do that which is within you, for we cannot know who it may benefit in the long term, long after your time here on earth is done.

This brings my awareness to Beethoven, Picasso, Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla and so many others. How their expression is of benefit to so many now even though perhaps they did not receive the recognition they deserved during their lifetime.

Be willing and open to feel the frustrations & the self doubt, even feel the fear of being seen, and say “sod it” and do it anyway.

So set your ‘Self’ free – dare to be that true expression of your heart-felt self.
Because you simply don’t know who needs to receive it, appreciate it and benefit from your hearts-expression in times to come.
