ITS NOT ABOUT
Dear Friends
As we move into our New Year – there can be great inspiration, aspiration and intention, to get, make and maintain many great and good things. Whilst this is wonderful it can lead to disappointment and maybe even miss the point. Might we start with the intention and practice of simply being Mindful to what is happing in us and around us – with basic ‘Bare Attention’ to what IS as it is?
This is a great place to start and might make the moment and indeed life much more meaningful!
Let’s ‘come to our senses’ – both literally and metaphorically – and sense and see what it’s all about!
My verse below hints at this intention.
Kind Regards – John
ITS NOT ABOUT
Maybe it’s not about;
How good and how gracious;
How grand and how great;
We are or do things?
Maybe it might be more about;
How Mindful, how present, how conscious;
How considered, caring and wise;
We are in the doing that is our Life!
This Life;
Your Life, my Life;
Their Life and our Life;
Is but a matter of moments.
How mindfully do we live;
Those moments into minutes;
Into hours and into days, into weeks, into months;
Into years, into decades into our Life?
Maybe this Life – our Life;
Is not about what we have;
Got, gained, bought, bargained or built;
Discovered, disturbed or destroyed!
Maybe this Life – our Life;
Fundamentally and for the most part;
Is about how Mindful, Wise and Caring;
We have lived each precious moment of Now!
Maybe;
Just Maybe;
Might this Maybe;
Just be so!
