Living from Rest:

Just sitting with life today, what’s that like, you say?
I see so few, who can just be, including me most of the time.
It’s not just busyness, it’s internal rustling, which keep us from just being-something that won’t just let us appreciate the art of life daily. It’s a interruptive frequency which only active gratitude can overcome hourly.
Just to be thankful for a room, or lighting, a child’s face, a person’s tone in a certain conversation, a little girl’s wrist in sunlight, or a bird flying overhead in Silence.
Just to be with the day as it occurs is a type of practicing Sabbath, and is an action of severe gratitude- a huge potent act of receptive kindness.
Thanks Lord, for allowing me to be today. We are always trying too hard down here, and rarely living out of or from rest of being. Learning to live from rest, may be the most important and underrated daily practice for our times. At least, that was my sense, as i returned home to myself today—just thanks for life!
