The Morning Star is a symbol of hope. It is a light that pierces the darkness. It announces that the dark night is over and it is time to come into the light of day.
Today, the Morning Star comes to you, piercing the darkness of pain, struggle and suffering. It announces that it is time for your dreams to be brought into the light of day. Now is the time to allow those dreams to become a reality.
What is your dream? Unearth it. Allow the Morning Star to light your way.
The pot of gold is in the staying present
There is an old saying that the master does nothing and nothing goes undone.
A busy mind compresses and fragments times and little gets accomplished.
No-mind, a state of mind that is quiet and at peace, neither visiting the past nor racing off to the future, expands time. In this no-mind state, inspiration enters, time expands; the body goes into a state of Zen-doing. In this expansion of time there is energy enough to accomplish great feats in a short amount of time. No-thing goes undone.
WHAT IF….
I just had a wonderful “what if…” thought this morning. What if today was our last day on earth and we knew we could do nothing about it. What would we do?
I certainly wouldn’t waste time on counting regrets or hurts from the past. I wouldn’t have a future to worry about. I wouldn’t waste my words on lamenting my traumas and dramas, pain and suffering. Time would be too precious for any of that.
With minutes ticking by I would begin by letting people know that I loved them and to thank them for their contribution to my life. I would fill the seconds with gratitude and take a few moments to reflect on all the great things about being in a body and being alive.
Think about it. We live with so many “what ifs” that are focused on fear, pain, suffering, struggle, hardships and worries. What if we lived as if this was our last day? What if we treated time so precious that we only took time for loving kindness, generosity and appreciation? What if we lived each precious moment in a rampage of gratitude because time was passing too quickly to waste on anything else?
And then…one more what if…
What if this way of living was so contagious that it spread like a wild fire and a great wellness swept the world…..
WHAT IF???
