Guidance & Reflection – Week 89

WEEK 89

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Allow the beauty of creation to touch you.

Contemplate its wonder.

Be awed by its majesty.

Listen to the sounds of nature where you are;

from the birdsongs to the rustle of

leaves or the sounds of water.

Take it in and think on

the miracle that allows you

to be part of it all.

Look at shadow next to sunlight,

sea next to sand,

woman and man…

Life.

Think of all that has passed in time

and space for you to be here

now…

and let it move you.

Let it inspire you today.

Let the gift of it sink in…

and be grateful.

Live today as a thank you,

and enjoy your being…

your being alive.

Evening Reflection 

Today, I watched two swans in a waterway that is built around the hotel we are in. I was walking the path next to the waterway and stopped to watch. It was quite fascinating to take notice of how the swans cleaned and preened their feathers. The flexibility of their necks reminded me of the flexibility of elephants’ trunks. I watched them again in the evening as they lay on the grass and prepared to sleep. Several ducks were nearby preparing for the night also. It was a sweet sight and it inspired me to begin winding down the day myself.

During the day, we had lunch at a Thai restaurant. Two waitresses attended us. They were full of personality and joked and played with me, my wife, our 15-year-old son and one of his best friends. We were supposed to go to another restaurant, but it was so backed up we changed our minds… and had a grand experience where we ended up. We were all glad at how it worked out.

Life can be good even if it is in small spurts sometimes.

Earlier, I had enjoyed the breeze coming through the small tent-like cabana on the beach. I took a nice nap … until several small children accidentally bumped me as I was included in their playground on the sand.

It’s all good. Life.

Another highlight of the day was the ride I took on a mechanical surfboard against a fake giant wave. We got great pictures! It was a test of balance. I contemplated the wonder of balance while dancing with the gyrations of the board. My movements caused great laughter for all who watched, including the machine operator. It was the sound of natural, organic joy. 

Life.
