Year End Resolutions
– A Virtual Workshop with David Ault
The following two paragraphs are part of twelve resolutions I wrote many years ago as a personal exercise regarding endings and beginnings. I believe that how I end things has a bearing on how I enter new phases. What better opportunity to reflect on this than at the end of the year? However, I also feel that the practice is enhanced when you allow a bit of space and reflection in this ending/beginning interval.
Did I express love this year, real love? The kind of love that doesn’t announce itself in flashy circumstances or structured conditions – but an authentic, quiet, internal love? The kind of love that bubbles to the surface when I gaze at another with understanding, a love that places me in their shoes, granting freedom from judgment and deepening my compassion? A philanthropic love that expresses because it simply feels compelled to, because it knows there is more than enough and everyone can benefit. If not, then I resolve to be and do better in my authentic loving.
Did I forgive this year, really forgive? The kind of forgiveness that cracks open my heart, peeling away one more layer of righteous indignation, thus allowing my soul to breathe? The kind of forgiveness that loosens my clinched fists held high at a situation so that I don’t enter into the next one with guarded mistrust? The kind of forgiveness that comprehends there is a difference between understanding a behavioral choice and condoning it? If not, then I resolve to be and do better in my forgiving.
I invite you to join me for a virtual workshop where we look at these twelve opportunities for mindful resolve and begin preparing ourselves now for the new year that will soon be here.
