It is amazing to me how I can witness so many things come and go, come and go like a breeze, a thought, a feeling, a car, a day, a many multitude of things.  Life is a constant flow.  When I am present to it, there is so much that goes on around me just as it should be and I am not the least bit disturbed by it.  Yet, one thing will come across my path or into my experience and I find myself shaken by it.  It is not the experience itself, it is my thinking about the experience.  The thoughts, ideas, opinions, feelings that I attach to the situation are what shake me up.  I had the experience very recently to see a picture, an echocardiogram, of my heart. WOW!  Such a beautiful machine that operates with such precision–I do have a healthy heart which given how I have treated my body in the past is a miracle, but I was just struck by the power of this machine that operates every moment of every day inside my chest and I rarely give much thought to it.  God created this beautiful mechanism that makes sure I get blood which carries oxygen in and carbon dioxide out and it all happens without a single thought on my part.  That is the miracle of this body machine that I inhabit.  It does not stop pumping because I am bothered by an experience or a thought.  It just keeps going along-blood flowing in and out, valves opening and closing.  There is even a valve that takes the shape of a peace sign when it closes.  The tech explained to me that it is a good sign when you can see all three flaps that make the peace sign.  I was grateful to find out that I have peace in my heart, literally.  If I show up and take care of myself each day which I believe is part of my given responsibility when I am granted a new day, then the inner-workings take care of themselves.  God is not shaken by circumstances.  God knows that all is working for the good because that is the universe that the Creator created.  A universe where all things can be used for the greater good.  I just need to align my thinking with that so that I can be present to the beauty and the miracle of life.  When I am not shaken I am one with my own heart.  I am not saying it isn’t a challenge at times to not be shaken by experiences or thoughts, but those times remind me that I need God.  I need to be held by the one who is unshaken.  It is like a reminder that I need to come back to my center of creation, to my Creator who designed me–all of me, and is witnessing the ebb and flow of my life with great joy. God does not fear the experiences that shake me, because he/she/it knows that it is those experiences that will renew my draw back to who I truly am.  My prayer for you today is that in the midst of being shaken by life, you remember to connect to the Great Unshaken Being that has placed peace in your heart.  Make it a great one!
