I Am An Abstract With Purpose

 

I AM ....

DETACHED

Free from expectation, I grow with each moment, releasing what no longer serves me. Detachment grants clarity—freedom not as escape, but as space to grow. I am a thread woven into existence, a living canvas where each stroke tells the story of my life.

 

CONNECTED

Rooted in strength, I draw energy from the world around me. The universe moves through me, steady and constant. I rise, endure, and move forward with purpose. Even in solitude, I am never alone…woven from stardust, connected to the cosmos, a reflection of something greater. My light reaches beyond me, illuminating unseen paths for myself and others.

 

I AM ....

GRIEVING

Loss shapes me, but it does not define me. I carry sorrow with dignity, honoring the love that remains. Grief reveals my depth—my ability to feel, remember, and cherish. Through the ache, I find meaning; in tears, I discover healing. I mourn, yet move forward, carrying the light of those I have lost within me.

 

COURAGEOUS

I face the unknown with an open heart, knowing that every challenge, fall, and doubt is another step toward becoming. Strength is not the absence of fear but the willingness to walk through it. I stand firm, press on with grit, and rise—always, I rise.

  

I AM ....

FEARFUL

Fear does not weaken me; it fortifies me. It is the shadow that makes my light shine brighter, the challenge that calls forth my courage. I acknowledge my fear but do not bow to it. Step by step, I move forward, proving that even in uncertainty, I am resilient.

 

POWERFUL

My strength is steady, my presence unwavering. Power is not just force—it is the quiet certainty within, the relentless spirit that refuses to break. I am resilience in motion, a creator of possibility, limitless in potential. I carve my own path

  

I AM ....

AGING

Every line on my face tells a story, every step carries the wisdom of experience. Time refines, strengthens, and deepens my purpose, connecting me to my soul’s essence. I walk through life’s changing seasons, knowing that each moment enriches my spirit and affirms my truth.

 

INSPIRING

My journey extends beyond myself—it radiates outward, illuminating the way for others. Through my strength, struggles, and triumphs, I become a guiding light for those seeking their own truth. I live boldly, love deeply, and rise with unwavering determination. My presence ignites hope, my words and art inspire courage, and my essence embodies strength and grace.

THE ART OF BECOMING ... AN ABSTRACT WITH PURPOSE

I am all of these things…fluid yet grounded, vulnerable yet strong, grieving yet courageous.  I Am An Abstract With Purpose, constantly evolving, shaping my existence with intention. A fusion of light and depth, I move through time with tenacity, leaving a lasting imprint on the world around me.   Laurel D. Rund

Quiet Discoveries: Awakening My Inner Magnificence

I recently participated in a guided meditation that took me on a journey to a quiet realm of self-discovery and inner calm. The session began with deep, intentional breathing and gentle instructions that helped me let go of daily distractions and enter a space of mindful presence.

 

As I relaxed, I visualized a small stream winding its way through a peaceful forest. The water, illuminated by soft sunlight filtering through the leaves, created a setting that was both simple and profoundly soothing. Standing by the stream, I listened to the gentle murmur of the water and the subtle rustle of leaves—a natural invitation to sink deeper into inner calm.

 

In that reflective moment, I looked into the clear water and saw more than just my physical image. I recognized my own magnificence—a powerful reminder of the strength and beauty that reside within me. This insight filled me with gratitude and hope, reaffirming that every pause and every mindful breath can help uncover the limitless potential within.

 

What made the meditation truly meaningful was its ability to connect me with both the natural world and my inner self. It was a reminder that moments of stillness are opportunities to embrace clarity, renew our purpose, and rediscover our inner light.

 

May this reflection inspire you to pause, breathe, and explore the depths of your own being, discovering the radiant energy that lights your way every day.

Within the Heart: A Light-Filled Transformation

Deep within the heart, beyond the noise of the world and the weight of expectation, there exists a sacred cocoon—a place of stillness, woven from love, hope, and the quiet magic of transformation. It is here, in this tender sanctuary, that your soul prepares for flight.  

Though the world may spin with urgency, within, there is peace. A space where you are held, nurtured, and known. This cocoon is not a prison; it is a promise. It does not rush the butterfly’s arrival, nor does the seed demand the flower to bloom before its time.  

You, too, are evolving in ways unseen, in rhythms beyond measure. Growth is happening, even in the stillness. And within that stillness, light gathers—soft, radiant, eternal. With each breath of trust, the walls of your cocoon soften, making way for the wings you have yet to discover. 

 

And then—one day, effortlessly, as if answering an ancient call—you will rise. You will stretch toward the light, realizing it was within you all along. And in that moment, you will step fully into the brilliance of who you are.

The Light Within

As the New Year unfolds, I feel the steady, profound glow of the light within me. It is a light that has deepened with time—not the fleeting spark of youth, but a lasting flame, strengthened by wisdom and formed by the experiences that have shaped me. This light carries the story of my journey, the lessons I’ve embraced, and the love I’ve both received and shared.

At this stage of life, as an elder, I am called to honor this radiant light—not merely as a gift, but as a sacred responsibility. It is my guide, and it shines for others who may seek its warmth. This light holds the essence of all I’ve learned, the strength I’ve nurtured, and the spiritual connection that binds me to my divine source.

Now is the time for reflection, deeper growth, and for celebrating the fullness of who I am—both human and spiritual, finite and infinite. My light isn’t diminished by age; rather, it is refined and magnified by the truths I’ve uncovered and the love I’ve cultivated. With each passing year, it grows clearer, warmer, and more powerful.

As I step into this New Year, I move forward with intention, grace, and profound trust in this inner light. It will guide not only my own path but will radiate outward, illuminating the way for others. This light is a reminder that my growth is ever unfolding, and the wisdom I’ve gained will serve as a guiding force for the journey ahead.

Radiance - My 2025 White Stone Word

This year, I choose to embody light—steady, kind, and unwavering. Radiance isn’t about being flawless; it’s about showing up with presence and intention. It’s embracing who I am, letting go of what dims my spirit, and standing confidently in my truth.

 

Radiance is cultivated through small, meaningful acts: pausing to breathe, finding joy in the everyday, and extending kindness when it’s least expected. It’s about aligning with my purpose, staying connected to what matters most, and trusting that my light has the power to inspire others.

 

In 2025, I’ll let my light guide me through challenges and remind me of the beauty in every moment. By choosing to reflect the divine within, I hope to illuminate those around me and encourage others to do the same.
