That's Right! This moment is perfect

That's Right! I am one with life

That's Right! It is a joy to be here, now

That's Right! I am responsible for my own joy

That's Right! Everything and everyone is my teacher

Loving What Is... This morning I awoke feeling a bit tired. It was one of those nights filled with long rambling dreams, conversations and ideas that kept drifting through my consciousness. For a moment, my first thoughts upon waking were dwelling upon what I don't want (tiredness and restlessness) instead of what I wish to create (vibrancy, passion and joy). Noticing this, I consciously shifted into gratitude and began listening to the calls of the various birds outside my window.

Life exploded in a cacophony of song - though, of course it was there all along, I just shifted my attention to it. The Zen Master looked at me with those expressive eyes of his, and the restless energy of the night fell away from my reality and perception as if it had never happened. Opening to the Universe, I felt a tingling sensation flowing up my legs and through my body - filling me with love and possibility.

That is the power of thought. I choose to love the present moment, to see my restless night as my teacher and consciously flow my thoughts and energy into what I want to strengthen in my life.  What we dwell upon does become stronger and stronger -every moment offers us a decision.

Today my intent is to flow my attention and energy in such a way that beauty fills my world. As I watch the sun rise in gratitude, I'm thankful for another day in such an amazing place, grateful for the opportunity to Love What Is and enchanted by the promise of miracles to come.
