Meditation #3 A Spark of
Love
This week will allow us to
explore the gratitude we owe to the two beings whom, in a selfless moment of
surrender, deleted the barriers that separate individuals and by fusing their
humanities, created the magic portal that allowed each one of us to enter this
world.
This is the day of my
conception, I know I was conceived in love and in a specific place, in a tiny
cozy home in Medellín, Colombia. There was hope, faith and purpose in the act
of communal creation that resulted in my pulsing heart. Life would become
tangled and estrange these two human beings, Jaime and María del Pilar,
eventually leading them on completely independent paths.
Yet, today I rejoice in
that sacred moment when they answered my knock on the door and allowed me to
enter the world as a result of a spark of love. I said yes to life and my mom
housed me within her body for nine whole months. My heart is full of gratitude
to my parents, both of them, with all their frailties and their gifts, they
allowed me to be who I am.
Even though we might not
remember or know specifics about the story of our conception, we can ponder
about that season of becoming, those first cells multiplying at phenomenal
speeds, pulsing with life, creating differentiated structures, growing within a
carefully crafted plan, minute extremities, throbbing with purpose, each and
every detail of a tiny, perfect person unfolding in order to carry out a divine
design.
I imagine the joy of the
Creator, of the Magic originator, rejoicing in that miracle, in the splendor of
this physical expression of Hope, Life and Love. This was the beginning of the
Sacred mystery of my Life, a spark of love within the cloud of unknowing that
surrounded two lives, willing to stake a claim of belief in the world by
creating a new life, mine to decipher and to develop, to unpack and evolve. In
gratitude I celebrate my beginning, brimming with Amazing Grace!
