CRAWLING

Sculpture Marquis de Sade in LaCoste, France

You were born with wings.  Why prefer to crawl through life?

RUMI

REFLECTION:

  • Are you flying or crawling through life?
  • How can you soar today… choosing wings over crawling?

LOOKING AT…LOOKING THROUGH

Gordes, France...looking out on Provence

Before fixing what you’re looking at, check what you’re looking through….  “Got a dirty eye, see a dirty world.”

FROM:  Mark Nepo: Book of Awakening – quote from his wise grandmother.

REFLECTION:

  • What lens are you looking through?  Do you perceive the world as broken, angry, troubled?
  • Do you perceive you life as broken, troubled?
  • Check what lens you are looking at life through.
  • Do you need to make any changes… clean your lenses?

FOCUS ON THE LIGHT

Some people get addicted to chain-smoking their problems.  They spend all day going from sorrow to sorrow.  It doesn’t have to be that way.  You can live each day going from joy to joy – like a sunflower that turns to face the sun as it moves across the sky.  It’s not about having a problem-free life, but about focusing on the light.  Sunflowers still have shadows, but they are always behind them.

REFLECTION:

  • Are you addicted to sorrow?
  • You have a choice to go from joy to joy!
  • How can you focus on the light today… the joys… little joys of living?
