Frost and fog created one of the most beautiful sunrise mornings I think I've ever seen. Wispy clouds, painted with the first rays of sun were glowing indescribably pink, orange and gray. It was the kind of sky, the kind of pristine beauty that only the mind and soul can hold in its memory. My eyes often turn toward the sky. Moments of wonder, heavenly beauty and feelings of overwhelming joy can all be had by simply taking a break each day to marvel at the world God has created for our delight. Albert Einstein once said...He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. It doesn't take a genius mind to know that, but it does take a smart person to know that peace, serenity and the feeling of oneness can all be felt by simply taking a moment to still the body and soul and just be. It is in my moments of being that I feel closest to my God. It is where I find my inspiration. How will we ever hear Him if we don't go to that quiet place and listen? Today, I am filled with more gratitude for what I have, and more love for who I am than ever before in my life—all because I felt the beauty of the sunrise.
Your blog popped up on my google alert for entanglement. Read a few of your posts. We do seem to have great difficulty staying in 'the moment' of divine inspiration, where I am assuming you, like me, would actually like to live. I couch it in terms of 'here' and 'there'. Have been saying for a while that I do not 'live' here anymore. But, I do look for these kinds of moments to remind me where I do 'live'. Like you I have been studying what I can about the quantum and it has been a joy-ride. Puts the struggles that go with living 'here' in a different perspective. Whenever I feel a struggle coming on I say "I do not want to be here" and no more struggle. It really is that simple. You are correct about creating our own reality. Oh, the situation is the same, but I just am not struggling with it.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Teresa of Avila's Interior Castles? Have a picture of Bernini's sculpture with a poem she wrote that I would like to send you. If interested, send me your email or I will post it on my blog, http://complexification-maryanne.blogspot.com/. I think I will do the latter anyway. Think it might work into the next post I want to do quite nicely. My best to you as you journey on.
Thank you for your insight, Mary Anne. Being in the moment, in the now, is the key to being at peace and experiencing the Oneness of the Universe. Our daily challenges sometimes makes it difficult as you said, but by practicing this "in the now" way of living we honor our spirit. Blessings, love and light to you, friend.
