Pay Attention

We can discover sheer bliss in the simple act of paying attention. Instead of constantly searching for peace of mind and serenity, have faith that in every moment these gifts will flow into our hearts. Have comfort in knowing that this instant we are in a safe place. Right now, the agony of our past is gone and we are powerless over the uncertainty of the future.

Observe all of the beautiful life that surrounds us, and we can be sure that we too are a fantastic little piece of the great puzzle of The Universe. Faith allows us to watch in awe as everyone and everything that surrounds us evolves right along with us. When we pay attention we can find delight in God's wonderful creativity. Rainbows and sunsets, the sun reflecting off mountain tops, a mother kissing her child's "Boo-Boo" all better and the wisdom of an aging person. A shared moment of playfulness and an act of forgiveness can carry each of us to that place we really want to go. Whatever may come our way and whoever may touch us.... remember to pay attention and discover your own bliss.
