Awakening

By now most of us know that awakening has more meaning than just getting out of bed in the mornings. There are any number of opportunities in the course of a day when we can get hits, openings and sharp awarenesses that cause us to sit up and take notice. In fact, unless we slog through our days and nights half asleep and unresponsive to what is taking place inside and outside of ourselves, we will be paying court to what is going on during every twenty-four-hour period.

Unfolding...

Every day holds more life than we can imagine, and it is given to us to be as involved in what thrills and energizes us as we wish. Actually, if we are not spending a fair amount of time attending to what is continually unfolding in and around us, we are probably missing something… perhaps a great number of somethings.

Loving-kindness...

There are before us any number of somethings that need our special talents. We have loving-kindness, creativity, patience, curiosity, and energy at hand to handle the ordinary and special demands of each day, and, in fact, we are really cheating life if we are not on hand to lend our special energies to whatever is taking place in our spheres. Perhaps we should be paying more attention to the turns and touches of the day so we won’t miss something that may need what we have to give.
