Lori went up the mountain to receive her message.

In an ascension workshop near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, she’d learned practices to quiet her mind, connect with Source, and receive direction. The course included a trip into the Grand Tetons to practice what she’d learned.

High on a mountain, Lori settled into a secluded spot, calmed her mind, and asked, “What’s my message?”

“Just be,” came the immediate answer, as if the mountain itself was speaking.

“Yeah, I know,” she thought, “but what do I need to do next? What’s my message?”

“Just be, Lori,” the voice said, calling her by name. “Just be.”

She again dismissed it and asked a third time. The answer was the same.

Lori came off the mountain disappointed. She shared her failure with the group later that evening. Only then, when her confession met knowing smiles and kind friends who reflected her words back to her, did she realize the depth of the message she’d received.

Don’t miss your message. The simplest are often the most profound.
