What would a day filled with taking in as much beauty as you can look like?


Day 69: Frogs,

What would a day filled with taking in as much beauty as you can look like?

Haven wrote this book well over a year ago it was easy to forget some of the things that I had written about. It is very easy to find favorites and the not so favorites. What I realize today is that when I do that I am judging one against another. Just like I stated yesterday, I realize the more completely that I do this journey the deeper my path becomes and the more I want to stick to it. Why would I want to read this book one day at a time over and over again? Why would I want to invest my time and energy into going deeper into my interconnectedness with the divine whole?

In life, we are taught to compare and compete with others over and over again. In fact, the America's was founded on competition, and having a winner and loser. What happens when we step out past that and find the place that allows us to be the best version of ourselves and allow others to do the same. When I connect with my "Mind/Body/Soul" experience that begins to happen at a deeper level. The longer I do this work the deeper I go. Think about this for a minute, you are digging a hole. You can dig a few feet and stop or you can did some today, some tomorrow, and some the next day. When I try to do it all at once I get bored, I lose focus and most often quite. When I take the time to do a litter each day I do not have a resistance to the work and it is much easier to take in. In fact, I know that I can stop when ever I feel it is right. When I am competing with someone or something I am afraid to follow my feelings out of fear of losing. When, like the frog I take in what I can today and move to the next spot and do the same. I find that I evolve at a much greater level.

I am asked all the time what is the difference? I read the book. I dig the hole. The work is the same? When I am exposed to something over time, I absorb it a bit at the time. It is like when you were in school and you had a major test. You could study over time and become the work, or you could cram the night before and hope that you got the parts needed. Most of us live from the mentality of the latter. With a simple shift in this one area in which you take smaller steps each day it is really the practice of being still and recognizing the beauty in everything. The real gift is when we begin to recognize it within ourselves as well.

Take some time and embrace your inner frog. Sit, be still, and know! You are deeply loved and supported by the universe.

Thank you,
I love you,

Rev Allen
