One day some people came to the master
and asked: How can you be happy
in a world of such impermanence,
where you cannot protect your loved ones
from harm, illness or death?
The master held up a glass and said:
Someone gave me this glass;
It holds my water admirably
and it glistens in the sunlight.
I touch it and it rings!
One day the wind
may blow it off the shelf,
or my elbow
may knock it from the table.
I know this glass is already broken,
so I enjoy it -- incredibly.
Achaan Chah Subato
To walk about the earth with happiness, to know that life happens but to enjoy this moment. This moment right now, to worry about the next or to worry about the past. Live and enjoy in this moment, right now.
What a concept huh? It can happen. Don't worry about the future, if you can say you life to help, to make a difference, to share love, to share a kind word or deed. Then how much grief are you in that very moment.
Life happens with out a doubt if your not in some form of failure or set back one is coming. But it is not the set back that matters or hurts us it is always the way we respond to that set back.
How do you listen to the energy that surrounds you?
What time to you give to listen in silence and truly understand your motive and intentions.
When do you start or will you start to listen and care about this moment and listen with focused intent to what values and intentions you truly want to fulfill.
As always smiles sent your way... : )
