Random

Today, I got stuck in traffic. So I decided to have fun with the child in the car next to me.

I started playing some cartoons on my phone, and turned the screen so that he could watch.

The upside down rainbow that emerged on his face melted my heart.

When the traffic cleared and I was about to move, I waved at him and he waved back. He made the time I was stuck pleasurable.

When you feel like you are going nowhere, find something to give. You will be shocked at the joy that comes back to you.

I am thankful for the random child that made my day.

Meditation

When the air you breathe feels different, causing an itch as it rushes through your nostrils, you become more self-aware.

When your skin feels hot to your touch, you drop everything else to understand what is going on.

When the saliva in your mouth starts having a taste – bitter or sweet, you swallow deeply and tune-in to self.

When your eyes are bringing in distorted images, you shut them to attempt a reset.

When your ears start ringing, you find a quiet place to lower your head.

Life uses anomalies to bring us into the present. It understands that we overlook its many free gifts until they are distorted.

Some people have found a way to proactively acknowledge life’s gifts. They choose to avoid a wake-up call from life.
