Contrast

Observing Contrast can be such a beautiful phenomenon if we choose to see it as such. We can observe our physical or emotional parts tighten, in the wake of contrast, and choose to allow ourselves to be open to the experience as a witness.  It’s not an easy task.  I find myself daily tightening my body and mind in the face of what feels abrasive and uncomfortable.  I can choose to turn my back or possibly dig a little deeper and investigate what I’m resisting against.  Triggers are such gifts.  It’s the knock on the door that we can ignore or answer, we get to decide.

Simply and Basically

Lots of us follow a path or paths that we believe are our way to truth and arriving somewhere that will be pleasing to something or some being outside of ourselves but often don’t connect to the basics of how to apply the teachings. Kindness, charity, generosity, forgiveness and unconditional love are the true tenants to every belief system but we get hooked and stuck on arguing over scripture and miss the simplest of living on life’s terms by planting the soles of our feet, giving gratitude, accepting and giving love.  No one said it would be easy but that’s all we are and have to give.
