Gratefulness
people say I am funny ….and I do like to laugh.- but not enough, sometimes I am conscious of turning my frown upside down, aware of my facial expression…….changing my thoughts…. recently I had fun with my friends young children and was delighted when heard them say, tickle me some more…..as we were taking pictures my mother had a great sense of humor and I feel I do as well…..
be aware and bring peace to myself, and that is what matters most… and yes, some things really. really do need to change in the world….. I will start with my own peaceful heart…
fall air I am breathing………
pay attention! trust in the universe, as they say and believe it!
May I be filled with loving kindness, held in loving kindness, see loving kindness as my essence…..then it will permeate to all living entities on earth…that is the quest !
as someone not afraid of living , after that it does not matter much……………….
by infusing hope into everything…..
I have my truth, my story, myself, quite simply, unknown what that will exactly look like once “my resources are unleashed”….likely some writing, some art and a lot of living……probably some activism…..
sense of wonder with increasing vulnerability , I am finding more moments of joy and compassion/sadness……..guess that is the moment of surprise from today’s quote…that’s the wonder of gratefulness too, I guess..
I can and try to respond by seeing conflict as a natural thing, changing my thinking about it, seeing the bigger picture, remembering there is one side of the story, the other side of the story of conflict and then there is the true story – nothing is as it appears……………..so being open, compassionate and curious to know the whole story of conflict. if and when I allow myself to do this, it then is not such a “conflict “but a realizati...
I can and try to respond by seeing conflict as a natural thing, changing my thinking about it, seeing the bigger picture, remembering there is one side of the story, the other side of the story of conflict and then there is the true story – nothing is as it appears……………..so being open, compassionate and curious to know the whole story of conflict. if and when I allow myself to do this, it then is not such a “conflict “but a realization that this is how life is and then it is over and something new emerges, often something good cause all is impermanent anyway …. what appeared to be a conflict has somehow changed, configured into something different……. asking for help, and accepting the universe is always providing solutions I feel hopeful all happens for a higher purpose…..
Michael, amazing…love it
Wake up and tip into the watcher, the one inside who knows…..that is being a friend to myself!…helping to tap into what I need… Thanks, appreciate your sharing
life is so good……..
It is that gentle breeze that is always there, and when I pay attention and notice it alights upon me…..emanating from a great source
Scary to me how easily distracted l can be when taking in media……truthfully the distraction is greatest when there is an element of fear… So nice to see total eclipse make headlines…….
Yes, and interestingly the mind, body, emotions are all connected….and the soul just keeps on being……
Jeff, I agree I know so little about myself and my world around me and all of life as I get older…..but there is always the freedom of choice…the choice to see what I experience ….
yes, so true, thanks for the reminder, also best way for me to grow my patience and acceptance
the earth is indeed in a place of flux and change is coming, I believe, no matter where we inhabit our place home on this earth……. at times, I too want to find an escape…somewhere, someplace, …peaceful and hopeful refuge for sure
okay, what’s the simple solution?
