Waking UP is drumming all IN … (01/26/14)
Awakening is … drumming to the Soul-rhythms of everyone around you; and when you do so drum, drumming with everything you’ve got.
Awakening is … drumming to the Soul-rhythms of everyone around you; and when you do so drum, drumming with everything you’ve got.
Awakening is … choosing to drink gratefully from every cup that is given.
Awakening is … letting go of everything that makes it difficult to give; especially all things “priceless” & “pretty”. P.S. You don’t have to discard things to let them go … Sharing them with others counts too.
Awakening is … remembering the innate Truth that every death is nothing more than a making way for something new.
Awakening is … seeing the smear of “dirt” on others: the flaws of your friends; the sins of your strangers; the evils of your enemies — and choosing to Love them anyway.
Awakening is … turning off your television (and your I-pod, and your “smart” phone, and your I-pad, and your laptop) and turning ON your Life.
Awakening is … realizing that there isn’t much time left to start being radically thankful for EVERYTHING
Awakening is … knowing that, even though all the sandcastles you build will ultimately dissolve & fade away — even though all your achievements & accomplishments & accolades will one day fade & be no more, the LOVE that you put into building them is immortal … and will forever softly hum its quiet melody […]
Awakening is … remembering, with actions more than words, that your life is not about you.
Awakening is … understanding that real Peace requires real Humility, and that real Humility requires openly flagrant expressions of Gratitude.
Awakening is … realizing that, for life to be Joy-full, it must be purposefully filled with Joy.
