There is something wonderful about the feelings of sprinkles of water on your skin.  When it starts to drizzle it is like a little taste of refresh that comes from the rain. When we encounter the sprinkles in our life we get a taste of things.  It is a way of introducing an idea or having a moment to take something in without drinking it down at once. When I learned to sprinkle thoughts of gratitude throughout my day I got to taste what it was like to focus on another side to something I might be inclined to complain about.  Sprinkles of different kinds of people I encounter at work give me a taste of all different kinds of ways of doing a particular project.  When we make room for sprinkles of experiences and ideas foreign to us we open ourselves to growth without having to make an immediate decision whether we agree with them or not. I believe God sprinkles moments of love and affection which connect us through our hearts to our true nature.  The sprinkles are an awakening that helps us remember who we are. When I feel the opposite of love and affection I look for the sprinkles, the small markers of love’s presence. The key is remembering that the sprinkles will often show up in colors and shapes I do not expect.  When I sense the sprinkling on my heart, I can wake up to the love and affection which has been alive inside of me all along.
