I throw myself on the Path of Heaven.

Actually, I’m on it all the time, it’s all in how I see it.  This IS heaven.  The most brilliant world, beautiful earth, fascinating creatures, ever-present love that binds us together.

Pain, tragedy, loss, death?  Well, nature doesn’t mourn itself?  Why should we.  What if this was the most magnificent planet in the universe?  And WE got the REWARD of being here?!?! 

Again, it’s in the perception.  Destruction is hard to see for humans.  Especially when the mind and body keeps thinking it will endure forever.  The spirit does last forever, but not the body and the mind.

My body and mind today, then, cherish this here and now.  No matter the “rush”  no matter the disorganization causing impossible tasks, the frustration, the boredom the insufficiencies the fear. 

Today it is about being really really really glad to be human.
