What Do You See?

I have always believed in the boundlessness of this blessing; a life ripened through the grace and gratitude of measure.

Within which we find our place between the aspects of willingness and gratitude.

Do we see what we want, or do we see as it is?

One by one, he drew his favorites from the pile; a gift for the little ones on their walk to school.

Had the mine been occupied, imagine what might have been missed? The squeals of young souls at this prospect of play.

Do we see what we want, or do we see as it is?

And, knowing these boundaries exist through the platitudes of mind.

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️

 

Zen and the Art of Puppy-Knowing.

The house was quite still this morning, save for the scurrying of a restless little pup.

I watched as he attempted to make bedding of couch pillows — digging, twisting and contorting his was only through to deeper vexation. With labored sigh, he leapt from the edge — his fate resigned to an unforgiving ground.

He paced urgently until finally he found it; there amongst a sea of table legs and linoleum — a single patch of unimpeded sun.

Rainer Maria Rilke to the simplicity of the ‘hardly noticeable’ — within which we’d find an immeasurable greatness. To a dog, the prospect is nearly effortless – “does this bring me joy?”

As children, we measure greatness in terms of a “THIS MUCH” wingspan. Though sadly, as we age we learn a different scale; altered merely through the path of definition.

Until a slumbering pup teaches us ‘more’…

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️
