The Now and Everlasting

"Relax more completely with our environment and

appreciate the world around us and the ordinary truth

that takes place every moment."

Pema Chodron

We falsely assume that we must 'go' somewhere like a planned adventure in order to experience of higher connection, which is not true at all.  We do not require a special book, a Master Teacher, nor a perfect existence to be on the receiving end of authenticity.

When we become aware of the incredible knowledge surrounding us no matter where we are, our lives can take on a magnitude of strength.  We have the ability to connect with the tree in our yard as easily as  one in a forest.  Our connection with God is not limited to a chapel or temple. Our words are received in thought, word or deed.

When we learn to be open to messages arriving through the written word or on a simple breeze, we will be surrounded by presence.  When we anticipate uplifting experiences, we begin to notice how we are surrounded by spiritual support coming through activities in our chosen moments.  We are the Universe.   Our existence blends with all that is.  We are the now and the everlasting.
