Blessings

Go out into the world where your heart calls you. The blessings will come, I promise you that. I wish for you the insight to recognize the blessings as such, and sometimes it's hard. But you'll know it's a blessing if you are enriched and transformed by the experience. So be ready. There are great souls and teachers everywhere. It's your job to recognize them.

How many times have you felt totally at peace, in joy, and harmony with yourself, your soul and your world?  When time stopped and you felt totally at one with wherever you were, whatever you were doing and whoever you were with?

It happens to me, from time-to-time, and I know it when it's happening.  I hear the cool notes of harmony resonate with my spirit and see, with clear eyes of the soul, looking out---and in.  It just feels right.  Like when I'm driving a horse and carriage.  Or taking Sweetie Sue for a walk.  Or playing with my kits.  Or spending time with a close friend.  Or appreciating the wonder and majesty of Nature.  It feels good and right and love-ly.  In love.  In light.  In peace.

Another thought is:  how often do you let yourself enjoy and engage in such pastimes?  Are you working too much?  Too hard?  Too intensely to enjoy anything?  Why? 

Step back.  Look at the bigger picture.  You'll be dead for eternity.  So, why not play as much as possible here and now, while you're alive?  I don't think anyone in the cemetary ever regretted not playing enough.  Or loving enough.  Or living-to-the-fullest-richest-and happiest enough. 

It starts (and stops) with you.  Let the beauty, and blessings, BEGIN!
