Bad news is everywhere, all the time. We are bombarded on a daily basis with woes and pain, cruelty and hopelessness. But, at the same time, there is beauty all around. There are the different tunes of the songbird outside my balcony. People show kindness to others in innumerable small ways, from a quick smile and eye contact to holding doors open. Love is expressed in a myriad of thoughts and actions.
These are the moments I want to be an active participant in. If a person needs a moment of recognition, let me see them. If someone is feeling a heaviness, may I help with their load. May I embody the prayer of St. Francis in all I do.
This moment is golden. This very moment, all is well. In this moment, I can feel and express gratitude for all I experience. This moment is all that I have, and I am grateful for it. I can relax into the ISness of Now, knowing that all is well. I’m not in charge, I don’t have the weight of the world on my shoulders; we are all journeyers in humanness.
NOW is where it’s all happening, Baby!
