The Liturgy of the Open Palm - A Dawn Meditation on Cosmic Exchange

Image
      The hour when the night has not yet departed, and the day is but a pale, bluish promise along the edge of the horizon, always carries a sense of naked truth. I sit in the silence of this early room, as the first rays of sunlight pierce the glass like thin, luminous fingers, and I think about touch. About those completely mundane, almost automatic gestures we exchange out of habit, never suspecting that within them lies encoded the entire metaphysics of our existence. We say: Give me five . We say it with ease, with a smile, sometimes in passing, while rushing somewhere, locked within our own tiny, isolated worlds. But what does this truly represent, if we strip away the layer of daily banality? What happens in that microsecond when two palms meet in the air and press against each other? This is a merging .

Have the courage to be yourself without justifying

Life is filled with situations where we are faced with the demands and expectations of others. Social acceptance and approval are incentives that often drive us to change ourselves to fit their ideals and norms. However, in this constant battle for recognition, we can easily lose ourselves. That's why it is important to have the courage to be yourself without justifying.

 
Having the courage to be oneself means accepting and valuing oneself as we are, without conforming to the expectations of others. It doesn't mean becoming irresponsible or ignoring the opinions of others. Nonetheless, it means staying true to ourselves and our values, even if it means rejecting certain standards or avoiding the need to justify our actions.
 
When we have the courage to be ourselves, we expose our true feelings, thoughts, and beliefs to the world. Instead of trying to fit in with others, we choose to be honest and open about who we are and what we want. This allows the people around us to see and understand us in a more genuine way, accepting us for who we are without requiring us to justify or change ourselves.
 
Justifying oneself is often associated with fear of rejection or judgment from others. When we try to justify ourselves, we essentially deny ourselves and our actions. Not only does it deprive us of our individuality and authenticity, but it also prevents us from forming genuine connections with others. By having the courage to be ourselves without justifying, we embrace our true selves and invite others to do the same, fostering a sense of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect.
