My Own Best Opinions

My own best opinions: 

what's gone is the incessant need to fill a space with my opinion, that others are allowed to be right or wrong without my thoughts weighing in on their most cherished matters of belief. This has been one of the greatest gifts brought to me from meditation, a continuation of a quiet mind that doesn't rush to state my own concerns to others, that I've been released from my own best opinions on spiritual issues, and now I'm quite content to listen and respect the views of others. 

my writing is an expression of a moment at my desk, early, a silent morning, and I write whatever words are given and seem to flow with an energy of their own. These are not my opinions, not truly so, as they're subject to change even within the very sentence that they're stated. Nothing is held as being absolutely certain, and my only sure belief is that I am inspired, gifted with an opportunity to be creative and share the words that have been so freely given to my morning. 

honestly, I have no spiritual convictions, only insights, personal, and yet held so very lightly. My own best opinions have mostly been let go and what remains now is the spacious of their previous hold. This is an inner freedom that I greatly love and cherish, being undisturbed by even the faintest wish of being proven right or having the need to convince others that they might be wrong. Everything simply belongs within a perfect order of circumstances and events, a continuous conversation held by various aspects of the world and nothing is given privilege over any other point of view. What matters is the conversation itself, that I continue to listen to all the voices that contribute to the world, a harmony that becomes such a beautiful, diverse and heartfelt song. 

a song of true joy. 

and even my own best opinions happen to belong.
