Remembering and Awareness.

9/5/2017

 
Picture

Today, I will remember air.  Air I breathe when I'm not even aware of  breathing; invisible like space but which  touches my skin and envelops the world;

Today I will remember light. The light that illuminates you and makes visible all the forms that fill the earth and heavens.

Today I will remember sound, harmony of the air against my ears, the music and story of this joyous and catastrophic world.

Today I will remember touch and sensation, through which the universe travels through me and reminds me that I am, and that we are;

And today I remember silence from which all forms appear to arise and return in the flash of a moment, the dreamlike nature of appearances.

Today I just remember to remember, and to be grateful.   Air. Light. Sound. Touch and Sense, and their absence which makes them all possible.  And by this may I know better the blessing of the world and the lives of others in this brief and precious life.

The goal of every act is happiness itself,
Though, even with great wealth, it’s rarely found.
So take your pleasure in the excellence of others.
Let them be a heartfelt joy to you.
