The beauty of the gift, well one of them, that we are given so freely is the opportunity to live in this world.  We are not of this world but we are in this world.  If we recognize that the Great Creator has called upon us to inhabit this experience, the very one we are having today, then we can trust that we are exactly where we are supposed to be.  The moment we want to check out and be somewhere else, it is a signal that we are trying to “handle” our existence alone.  We find some fault or problem with the current experience.  This is not wrong of us but an indication of something to look at.  What is about this moment where I wish my existence to be somewhere else? What meaning have I given to what is happening that I am uncomfortable with? Is it what is actually happening or my thinking about what is happening that is causing the discord?  I find that most often it is my thinking that is causing the discord.  My ego mind has determined that the existence I am experiencing is beneath me, a waste of time, or too painful.  The ego mind, of course, is the one that has edged God out.  Without the alignment with God’s thinking, nothing makes sense.  I am relying upon my limited mortal mind to make sense of the existence which I am currently experiencing.  But what if what I am experiencing has greater meaning that I am capable to understanding?  What if what I am experiencing is about being a part of the beautiful mystery of life?  What if my existence in this moment is about who I am being, not about what I am going through?  Only by linking with God can I hold a space of courage, compassion, love and acceptance for the here and now.  My prayer for us today is that we stop when we notice that we want to leave our current existence and ask God to open our eyes and our hearts to who we are being called to be and let go of what is happening.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
