Speed

The other day, as I zipped over the top of a hill, I came across a mother duck and her tiny brood crossing the road. With moderate brake application and a little driving in the dirt, I was able to avoid them.

I wonder why I cannot remember what I thought was so important that I had to be going so fast?

Influence






Yesterday I went to the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Jane and Cliff Ives, parents of one of our Board members and Convener, Steve Ives.  As I listened to stories from those who had been touched by this loving and powerful couple, an observation began to arise.



I wonder whether there is anyone on the planet who has not been affected by their lives and work?



I wonder whether that isn’t true for all of us?





Miracle






Every single time I focus on my breath moving comfortably in and out of my lungs, I am aware, newly, of the miracle of being alive in this moment.



Isn’t it interesting that it takes many of us so long to see and experience the miracle?
