Cherish Ordinary Moments…

Cherish Ordinary Moments…

Pema Tells Us

This blog post is also available on my Facebook page to make sharing it with friends and family easy for you to do.

Dear Friends,

A simple message this week for us—

A simple reminder 
To notice,
To cherish,
To celebrate,
To relax into,

The simple 
And 
Ordinary 
Things.

The ordinary things.

I gravitate toward THE BIG.

THE
MONUMENTOUS.

Imagining them,
Demanding them, 
Needing them
To be
My
Standard-bearer,

My mirror 
To
Self-esteem.

They—those big moments—
Carry disappointment
Within them
And
Never
Sustain.

It is
The ordinary things
With which
I choose
To line
The path
Of 
My
Heart.

~~~

Here are Pema Chodron’s insights:

CHERISH ORDINARY MOMENTS
“In our most ordinary days we have moments of happiness, moments of comfort and enjoyment, moments of seeing something that pleased us, something that touched us, moments of contacting the tenderness of our hearts. We can take joy in that. I find that it’s essential during the day to actually note when I feel happiness or when something positive happens, and to begin to cherish those moments as precious. Gradually we can begin to cherish the preciousness of our whole life just as it is, with its ups and downs, its failures and successes, its roughness and smoothness”. (From Taking the Leap)

Mandatory Inspiration

Forgive me.  I must.  I have to.  I am compelled.
Sending this, the best dog video on the planet, is not a choice. 
It is the choiceless choice.

I MUST.

Please watch it.  It is on the edge of mandatory:

Friends—

What grabs your attention?

Simple things?

~~~
Please

My eyes
So

See
The 
Beauty
Around 
Me.

Help me,
Remind me,
Show me,
All that is You.

With gratitude,
aruni
