There are few things more thrilling
than having a new house or an empty room to decorate. Our imaginations
soar as we consider the many possibilities. In the same way, our lives
offer us the opportunity to express ourselves within various contexts, to
ask ourselves questions about what we want to see as we go through our
days and how we want things to flow. Some people do this instinctively,
moving through the various environments they inhabit and shifting the
energy with their presence. These people have a knack for decorating
life. This can be as simple as the way they dress, the way they speak, or
the fact that they always bring a bouquet of wildflowers when they come
for a visit.
As we move through the world, we make a
statement, whether we intend to or not. We shift the energy one way when
we enter a room dressed elegantly and simply, and another when we show up
in bright, cheerful colors and a floppy hat. One is not better than the
other. It is simply a question of the mood we wish to create. What we
wear is just one choice we can focus on. The way we speak to people
shifts the energy more profoundly than almost anything else. The words we
speak and the tone in which we use are the music we choose to play in the
world. Some of us fill the space with passionate arias, others with
healing hymns. Again, one is not better than the other. We are all called
to contribute.
Just as we consciously create an
environment within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life
itself with our particular energy. Ideally, in doing so, we express our
deeper selves, so that the adornments we add to the world make it more
meaningful, more beautiful, and as welcoming as a beloved home.
