Turning it around … ( 03 / 02 / 2012 )
“ 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 do indeed seem to be “ facts ” and there do indeed appear to be “ fictions ” — we live in a concrete Reality that even the most intelligent of us cannot ever hope to even partially grasp . Despite this Truth , with a little Humility and a dash of Courage we can all choose to see deeper … we can all learn to 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 ”.
Indeed , if we pause long enough to remember that it is our world that is turning , maybe we can “ turn ” with it 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 ?
