There are common metaphors in language that reflect higher truth. You say: "Things are looking up," "I'm feeling down," "I'm feeling uplifted," "My energy is high," "My spirits are low."

Uplift yourself with your words and your gestures.

Instead of waiting for something outside of you to help you notice the love your heart is full of, nudge your awareness along with the language of your thoughts. Create metaphors that help you recognize the ever-burgeoning love in your heart.

All is a metaphor. Your life tells a story. And there is significance to your story beyond the story itself.

What if your life is an epic poem? There are words in poetry, but the poem is far greater than the words. Or your life is a many-paged novel. This or that act is committed, but the act represents something more than itself. What is the meaning beyond the meaning?

Your life is a tale being told.

Each day is a new leaf of a novel whose page you turn. There is more to reading the novel than reading its pages.
