The Gears

“The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.” – Eric Hoffer

When life becomes too mechanical, jam the gears. Constant activity lulls us to sleep, going through the motions, getting by and through, drifting along, spinning our wheels and going nowhere. Wake up. Your life is calling and it would like you to fully participate, to be in the game.

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart

Awaken all of your senses to see, taste, feel the beauty and simplicity of this very moment, the depth and meaning, no strings attached. The garden of our life blooms with awareness and gratitude. From struggle to struggle, challenge to challenge, life is happening whether we recognize it or not.

Plant seeds of kindness, leave a trail of joy. Breathe in the lilacs bursting with color and fragrance. Allow the awe of the sun dancing through the clouds to get through to your soul. Wonder and delight is all around us. Look up.
