At 4:00 o’clock in the morning the sky is black and beautiful – at least this morning it was – sometimes it’s hidden in cloud or something is falling from it which makes it hard to see or the lingering sleep fogging my mind keeps me from looking up or more correctly, noticing. The real key to seeing the sky, or anything is in the looking – and then being able to recognize that what you are seeing is a miracle, or amazing, or unique.
Yesterday through email I received another one of those incredible motivational slide shows that people send to all their friends – it showed breathtaking scenes from nature with thought provoking statements to help you pause and enjoy and feel gratitude. It’s wonderful we live in times where we can be given these small gifts with a click of a mouse. The real question for me though is how often do I seek, notice, realize and appreciate the beauty right above my head, right in front of my face, right out side my windows and as I drive in my car through the world.
I know I could do a better job of it – however that puts the thought into what I’m not doing which is a less stellar place to go – instead I will be thrilled and satisfied with my morning marvelling at the immensely gratifying early morning sky which is changing as I type, which is being painted all the time and is ever evolving which is also a gift of highest value and worth.
I am suddenly overcome with the reality of wonder – and I like this feeling, this being, this realizing – what’s outside your window, over your head or through your door? Something of wonder I bet – if you take the time to look and appreciate.
