And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Seeing what is before me!

I've read all the books but one
Only remains sacred; this
Volume of wonders, open
Always before my eyes.
- Kathleen Raine


OMG ... I can not even begin to tell you how much
I needed this reminder today!!
I worked hard today, I had so much to do ...
and I multi-tasked my way through it!

I even kept my hands moving when
people came to my office to talk to me!

OMG ,,, I was sooo NOT fully present ~
no wonder I am exhausted tonight.

YES, the most wondrous tbing is to be fully present
always in All WAYS!

I remember one morning when I was rushing off to work,
as I drove past the front of my condo,
I looked up a caught a glimpse of  my
Sweet Destiny sitting in the sun
in the picture window.

He was so beautiful ~ he took my breath away!
It caught my attention immediately,
and I realized I was once again rushing through life
without noticing the wonder that surounded me.
I was so grateful that he got my attention ...
and I slowed down to B R E A T H E.

Obviously, I still do it ...
I did it today ...
I forget.

And then,
I remember!

Gratefully, Cate
