That's Right! The world is my mirror

That's Right! I am grateful for whatever life brings

That's Right! Each moment is a gift

That's Right! Transformation begins within

That's Right! This is the moment that everything changes

As the Zen Master and I prepare for our journey into the mountains, I'm open to experience whatever life offers with a sense of adventure. I know that something beautiful will happen and that I'll be provided the opportunity to learn something new.

I love driving in silence, just enjoying the colors and sights and sounds of the road as it unfolds before me. These open hours allow me to observe the ego - it's amazing how it loves to fill empty spaces with a story - and constantly practice the art of being at peace in the present moment.

The questions I ask of my higher self are: How can I serve? What can I give? How can I bring peace into the present moment? The answer often seems to be to send light and love to those around me, to listen, to embrace, to love, to be kind - less doing and more being...

If we recognize and value life as a mirror, then perhaps we can consciously choose to show others their own beauty, presence and potential by reflecting it to them. Thus, we teach by example. 

Today my intent is to be a loving reflection of the peace and presence in others.
