Slowing Down To Enjoy The Richness
How often do you stop and really feel how much you love your spouse, loved ones and children? How often do you sit and really look into their eyes and let it melt your heart? Most of us tend to live in our minds and often overlook the beauty that is right before us. We live life feeling unmet and disconnected from our world and those we love. We pine for a love that is in the past or future, and hope that one day things will be different. These feelings are just messages from your own heart, inviting you Home.
It all comes down to a simple matter of attention. The culture that we live in is filled with so many distractions. When you start to slow down enough to take in the beauty, you will feel like you are going against the grain, but do it anyway. Don't let another day go by without seeing the preciousness that stands right before you - however it appears. There is only now, not a "some day". When you kiss your loved one goodbye as they head off to work or school it may honestly be the last time you see them. If you let yourself feel the reality of this, while staying connected to the infinite love that is your very nature, you will have no choice but to slow down and feel the sweetness of the kiss, the deep richness of that simple moment.
Life is always offering this to us. The sacred exists in every moment, but we are often too busy to stop and notice it. My prayer is for all of us to slow down and start paying attention to the blessing that is right in front of us. Let today be an invitation to honor what really matters.
