Morning Meditation

Trees don't sit around and worry about forest fires. The water in the pond doesn't fret over turbulence it encountered a few miles upstream. And I have never seen a butterfly pry into the affairs of its fellows. All of creation is going about the business of living. If I keep my eyes open, I can learn to do the same.

A great deal can be learned as a result of painful circumstances, but they are not my only teachers. I live in a world full of wonders. Today I will pay attention to their gentle wisdom. 

"I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon a dewdrop." Kahlil Gibran

"By listening to  more the mere words, I can learn much more than mere words can teach."
