Walking back toward my office building the other day I raised my head for a change and I saw this beautiful tree full of pink blossoms. I was awestruck. Had they just bloomed overnight or had I really not see them?!
I smiled at my ignorance. I smiled because I knew I had experienced how not to be ignorant. I used to see. In my joyful youth I used to observe the leaves, the sky, the road, the people, the time. I used to walk with my head high. I remembered how it used to feel. I knew how to experience it. I felt grateful.
Then I continued reading the book at hand, How to Win Friends and Influence Others where I was challenged to not blame. To find any occasion to encourage and appreciate. I had to be observant of the behaviors around me to be able to praise them I reckoned.
Then I went to the Circle to learn that the focus of the month was also about being an objective witness, leaving opinions and blame, and serve unselfishly in love.
Ah! I walk in ecstasy now. How these all manifested in a sequence of events and experiences; orchestrated well outside my realm of influence.
Blissfully feeling connected in this all now, again!
