Boy let me tell ya it was needed.
I feel as though I might be in that supposed "grip of inferior" being Te *sighs*.
I'm trying to take a mental break to remind
myself what matters to me and the grand purpose of it all. This below was a fitting find
.
Have you ever?
by Dennis Merritt Jones, From The Art of Being
Have you ever spent time allowing your mind to wander and wonder?
Have you ever thought about how incredible it is that you can read and decipher these words and draw meaning from them? Have you ever contemplated in amazement how your body works, maintaining itself to a large degree without any help from you?
Have you taken time to contemplate what causes your heart to beat and what turned the breakfast you had this morning into skin, fingernails, and hair?
Have you ever taken just a few moments to simply stare at a beautiful flower and notice the incredible patterns and colors that not even the greatest artist could re-create?
Have you ever looked up at the stars and planets at night and been in awe of the expansiveness of it all, perhaps even wondering if there might be some other being on some distant planet looking back at ours at the same time, wondering the same thing?
Have you ever thought about what holds the planets and stars in place?
Have you ever gazed into a newborn baby's eyes and seen the infinite presence of pure spirit looking back at you and been in awe of the fact that this being just came from the absolute essence, God?
How can you or I do any of these things and not feel like an intricate and significant part of something far greater and grander than the "little me"?
I have done all these things, and I can tell you that, in part, it is what keeps me sane, grounded, and spiritually connected to God, life, and purpose when the world seems to be getting more and more crazy each day.
This also includes those times when I tend to get too enmeshed in my own personal trauma dramas. Life is always manifesting purpose; all we need to do is think about the miracle of it all.
So, the next time you feel as if you are getting caught up in the frenzy of the world or your personal life begins to look like a bad soap opera, take some time and consider some of the above questions.
Give yourself the gift of a sacred moment in the now. With great and clear intention, contemplate and connect with the miracle of life, where God is always present.
Celebrate your unity with God...and truly be in awe. The word "awe" is the root from which the word "awesome" comes...and that is what you really are. Not because I say so but because God is awesome, and what God is, so too, are you.
It's just a matter of taking time to think about the wonder of it all.
Some other quotes i've received from email subscriptions.
I have never been a millionaire. But I have enjoyed a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend and a hug from a child. There are plenty of life's tiny delights for all of us.

. My spirits suddenly rises and I become a tad bit more motivated. Always makes me think of my Neices and nephew when I hear that one line about babies hehe. "What a wonderful world"
