The Beautiful Vessel

 Taking my walk down the road, past the rain forest and the neighbouring farms, I picked up an old water bottle that was caked in mud, squashed and filled with mud. I often pick up rubbish from the side of the road as I walk, to clear and beautify the area where I live.

This bottle got me thinking. We are all vessels, each of us on this planet. How do we treat our vessel? Do we keep it clean so that it sparkles? What do we fill our vessel with? Love, good food, friendship, time in nature. happy thoughts and inspiration? Where do we place our vessel? in the middle of a table to be admired, or are we like the bottle I found, covered with dust at the side of the road?

I wondered about my life. Am I filling my life with love? How do I treat myself both physically and emotionally. Am I kind to myself? How do I care for myself? This experience had me think of myself in a new light. Helped me see how I can live my life more lovingly and nourish myself.

Each of us is a beautiful vessel to be cared for and polished till we shine. To be filled with love and good experiences, to choose positive thoughts and emotions to fill ourselves up with, and to be kind and care for ourselves. We can all be the beautiful vessel we are meant to be.

Many Blessings
