A Simple Note of Introspection

How incredible is the human spirit?

How marvelous our ability to experience excitement, heartache, joy, anxiety, doubt, and absolute harmony in what seems a single breath of time?

Every day of this week has been a new adventure in and of itself and as I sit here now reflecting on the week’s events, both high and low, I am quietly grateful that this is my life and my existence to contemplate.

What is true today will not be so tomorrow.  The world around us is in constant motion… changing who we are and what we know with every waking moment.  The steady movement, like a tender breeze carries with it the fragrance of new experience and the thrill of daring challenge and shapes our existence into what we know as truth.

Even so, it is our divine responsibility to ponder our good fortune as a reminder that life itself is a gift.  I am blessed today with a heightened awareness of that remarkable gift without want or desire of knowing what will unfold tomorrow.

There is a stillness that occurs when simply taking up residence in our own state of ‘being’.  No thought about what is left undone; no concern for the next five minutes.  Only a whisper of grace and gratitude that what is right now… is exactly what it should be.

How often do we take the time to simply breathe and soak up the goodness of being alive… of hearing the rhythm of our own heart’s beat?

How often we should.
