31 in 31 #28 The Launch         

Today I launched a business and website called www.forevercareforpets.com and I have been reflecting on launching anything. Perhaps the most profound meditation I have seen on this subject comes from a surprising source. It is from a book and website called “Journey of the Universe”. It is a most wonderful narrative about the narrative of the universe itself containing everything. Quite a scope. And what I am calling a launch, they poetically refer to the big bang as a “flaring forth.” Don’t you love that? And wait, it gets better. If the universe itself flared forth in a way that billions of years later allowed for a planet Earth and still billions of years after allowed for humans, then we are, in the deepest sense, the universe in its manifestation as a human. This one thought is so large and comprehensive that it can change a life if we can meet it with the required energy. Let me say it another way, on a deep and true level, I am not the person writing this blog (although there is an aspect of myself that is certainly writing this). But in the sense of who I actually am, my larger self I am the universe itself. – the trees, the mountains, the rocks…How could it be otherwise? So my little launch of the website which is certainly a big deal in my little “self”, on a deeper level, it is the universe itself acting and in some way, a launch is a launch whether it is the great flaring forth or something much smaller.
