turning it all around … (03/02/12)
“When I slow my breath I can see the turn of the planet.” ~ Ginnie Sams
The sun never rises, and the sun never sets …
… it is WE who are doing the turning.
… … An objective material Reality exists — at least I believe it does.
And yet, even though there is “fact” and there is “fiction” — a concrete Reality that even the most intelligent of us cannot hope to fully grasp, with a little Humility and a dash of Courage we can all choose to see deeper … we can all See the Truth within every illusion.
We can See the enormous Beauty that exists in every “normal” encounter & every “boring” situation …
We can See the opportunity to powerfully Care that rests at the center of every crisis, every, difficulty & every “tragedy” …
We can even pause long enough to look past the “meanness” & the greed & the dishonesty to See the Good in every one of our “enemies”.
If we pause long enough to remember that it is our world that is turning, maybe we can “turn” as well — maybe we can wake up and See this life anew — and maybe then we can remember to act accordingly.
LOVE is a verb … got LOVE?
