Invoke gratitude

In reading Wallace Wattles book on gratitude there is a sentence in there that just struck me and I wanted to share it with you today.

Eleanor Roosevelt's wisdom...

On this Monday morning, as we start out the week may we each remember something that Eleanor Roosevelt said. She said all the water in the world can never drown us unless it gets inside of us.

Open yourself to the boundless beauty all around.

This story was sent to me by a friend. It comes from the Washington Post and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you.

It's the Washington DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. A violinist played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After three minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

What are we still carrying that isn't in our present moment? Let's put it down.

There is an ancient teaching story about two Buddhist monks walking along a river in silence. They have a vow of chastity, and many other vows. The vow of chastity requires that they never speak to or ever touch a woman.

Let us stay awake to who we really are and the power inside

When we're driving, of course we realize how important it is that we stay awake. If we don't stay awake we are likely to have a major crash or at least drift in our driving.  If we don't have a crash we will hit often those white bumps on the side of the road that gain our attention.

Let us learn together

At the Honolulu Unity Church the way they open their service is such a beautiful invitation to a way of living. One of the things they encourage themselves, each other and their world to do is this: Let us together learn how to live our lives fully, to love wastefully and to celebrate who God created us to be.

Take a deep breath of life right now and enter into the fullness of being

Starting right now, we are in the miracle of this moment. Let's take a deep breath together. Right where you are, whatever you are doing take a deep breath of life and know that in this moment is a whole lifetime in miniature. And when you and I learn to make each minute count--not by how much we get done but by how much life we live. In the end it isn't days, it isn't weeks; it isn't months that we remember. It’s moments.
