What is it about the things we see that touch us so much? How is it possible to have a feeling based on a visual expression of love or art or nature? I wonder if it is the association to the actual thing or experience or if our eyes in fact communicate to those other parts of our brain. Perhaps the very act of gazing at something in wonder, astonishment or appreciation activates our heart center in such a way as to awaken to love and beauty. One of the ways that I am able to still my soul and quiet my mind is to engage in gazing. It matters little at which I am gazing. When the focus of attention goes to the element in front of my eyes after a time it begins to show its intricacies. I gaze to know it deeper and cultivate a fascination where none existed before. I shut out all things except the focus of my gaze and it is as though its energy comes alive. I know that God gazes at us in wonder all the time. God longs to share with us the beauty of our intricate natures and to share with us that when we are broken down into the most minute element we are love. Our energy alive and well in the world is love. God would create nothing less. I do not pretend to think that I could see so easily as God sees but by gazing in appreciation of something I slowly begin to remember the love energy in and through all things that is God.
Be From Gazing!
on January 26, 2017My prayer for us is the curiosity to see if we can engage our awareness of love from gazing in appreciation of one thing today.
