With palms together,
Good Morning Everyone,
Once again the Sabbath comes, a day to join the Infinite in rest and contemplation. Tonight we will go to Temple and in the morning on up to the Refuge. I enjoy that place in the mountains. It is so quiet. No refrigerator making noise (our refrigerator there is propane and has no moving parts), no city sounds like sirens or traffic. Just birdsong and wind chimes.
In silence we can listen to ourselves. In stillness, we witness the Universe.
On this trip, however, we will be taking our son, daughter in law, and granddaughter, so I am certain there will be noise. My Little Honey already has movies picked out. Jason wants to get the ATV running. Granddaughter Olivia has a cowgirl outfit and a play horsey to ride. I want to bear witness to it all: life.
So, the Zen message is be here now, whatever is happening in the here. It may be silence, it may be Olivia, it may be the roar of the ATV engine starting.
I will chop my wood, tend to the wood cookstove, pump my water, and enjoy the time as it is.
May you each be a blessing in the universe,
Be well.
