Simple Things
There are songs and sayings a’plenty about the value of the simple things in life. Perhaps they’re clichés, but a lot of clichés stick around because they so resonate with the truth of our own experiences.
It seems to me - especially in these times so driven by crisis, when so much attention is demanded by obligations, expectations, social divides, and global-scale drama - that it can be such a relief to pause for a moment and just focus awareness on the common things, the simple things that are present in everyday life.
In a recent Moment of Connection, we did just that - allowing ourselves a deeper experience of wisdom, happiness, joy, healing, and gratitude simply by opening to a deeper experience of the familiar. Here is a meditative 5-minute video taken from that Moment of Connection. I omitted my voice-over narration in case you want to pause the video here and there to bask a moment longer in the gifts of simple things.
