I’ve said this before…anything can happen to anyone at anytime. That’s how fragile life in this body really is. In any one moment, a split second, a blink of an eye…the way we are living in this world can be stripped away and turned upside down. Everything we depended on or thought we knew for sure could be gone or changed dramatically.
Take a look at your life right now. Can you sense the utterly fragile nature of it all? Its the old “There but for the grace of God go I” realization. This doesn’t scare me or make me sad. Actually, quite the opposite! It reminds me that every moment is precious…every – single – moment. It matters how I spend that moment, how I show up in that moment and how I treat people in that moment.
The fragile nature of everything also calls me to give attention everyday to my spiritual life. It reminds me of the importance of meditation, sitting in the stillness, listening for inner guidance. It reminds me that the thing that I can depend on is not what happens out in the world. No, the thing I can depend on is the Divine, God, Love Itself. That is what sustains me no matter what.
What sustains you in this fragile and unbelievably beautiful world?
Much love
Paula
