The way of Happiness.
This morning as I watch the sun rise,I can see in the distance the rising steam from Cobbossee Lake.
The crimson of the sunrise adds a depth to the deep russets that now predominate the leaves of oaks and maples.Soon the trees shall be bare,and the stark shadows will spread on the fields of snow.
It is a good day to be alive.No regrets,If I should die before the sunset(which at night I will die anyways,in what the Ojibwa call the little death-sleep)how fortunate to have taken part in today.I know my dear friend that you are here,along with your family and friends.I am here with my family and friends.I am aware that I am never alone as I live in a universe of connection and interconnection.
To be in this pregnant now,as the sun rises is to with the rich,deep,profound experience of this moment alive as we hurtle through space on this Sacred Mother.If I can enjoy this moment fully,the past will not haunt my consciousness,the future will not demand it's endless planning and worrying.This moment,pregnant with possibility is really all I have.The past has been lived,the future is the future.I have this moment.
Many people confuse being present in the moment with abnigation of responsibilty or planning for the future.This is definately not the case!When you have to plan for the future,do it mindfully,in the moment.Take several deep breaths,practise Transformetrics,follow with meditation and then,'have at it'with your planning in full moment to moment awareness.
Agape bekons in our store consciousness.It asks us to break beyond the bonds of ego and the concerns that weigh the mind/body/spirit.It is a good day to die,because it has been a good day to live.With the treasure of this moment and a heart broken open with true love,we feel,see,taste,touch,and love the entire universe moment by moment....
peace,
jason
