Day
We can be full of aphoristic hope, but there is a whole day to get through. Some people will tell us there is no time BUT the present. They are not exactly “right” – we can do many things today that substantially ease tomorrow. Still, there’s that day to get through – full of cliffs and mountains – many that feel self-created, some that actually ARE self-created. That’s when we want to quit. “No one cares about this but me.” “I must be doing this wrong or I wouldn’t be so miserable.” Who are we arguing with? It is worth investigating the source of these objections. Possibly we have a psychic stowaway! And then there are the difficulties created by others, which of course are MUCH WORSE because no psychic deep dive is going to get rid of THEM. This is why mantras exist. When other people take our brain and ruthlessly shake it like a snowball, we need a mantra (and the peaceful time to practice it) to set us right. “Om” is still good; “Grateful”, “Peace”, “Seek Joy” and “Beloved” also lead to clarity and relaxation. When your spirit is viciously jumbled just follow the breath; In, Out. You have been chosen for the gift of life. You are now a part of this beautiful planet. Consciously separate yourself from divisiveness, acquisitiveness, jealousy and evil. And breathe. Thank you, God, for breath. Thank you for this day.
