Unfolding Curiosity

"The best spiritual instruction is when you wake up in the morning 

and say,'I wonder what's going to happen today.' 

And then carry that kind of curiosity through your life."

Pema Chodron

We do not use our full imagination nor do we trust the Universe to lavishly apply miraculous touches.   If we wanted a beautiful mural on our wall, we would not tell the artist to use only primary colors.  We would allow the person to follow their instinct and insight.  He or she would consider the lighting, angles, designs and apply tricks of the trade.

So why do we place so many limitations upon the Divine?  What makes us pigeonhole our desires?  How long does it take when we demand rigid expectations rather than simple trust in being delighted?  How easily do we forget that the Universe is willing to provide? Spirit maintains a higher understanding of what would serve us best.

A wise soul once encouraged me to add the phrase, "This or something better," to the end of all my requests.  The mentor believed that we restrict the Universe when we are too rigid.  It is important to allow God to work full miracles beyond what is requested.  In our unfolding days, it is important to be curious about what might unfold!
