Pay Attention!Be the light you want for the world, always remembering you are the Gaian vibration ...rising. ~Patricia Cori
I
was recently given the honor of being invited to the luminaries page of
www.inspireustoday.com to share a message for the world: were it my
last day on Earth, and I could share 500 words of brilliance with the
world, what would I feel I wanted to pass along to others?
Were
I to leave an inspirational message for the world upon my departure
from this magnificent planet, it would be simple: Pay Attention.
By
and large, our modern societies have imposed the tools and parameters
of our utter distraction: cement jungles of our largely dysfunctional
cities; inane and manipulative messages of coercive media; the
goings-on of our governments with their hidden agendas; daily
distractions of our runaway technologies and their abstract
impressions, overlaid upon the tapestries of our richly woven lives as
"spiritual beings, having a human experience."
Every life is a
chalice, which carries the potential to be filled with the all the
light of creation, as we learn to embrace our own godliness:
co-creators of the Dream and sparks of Divine Spirit. If only we stop,
and pay attention to the Earth and to each other—to all living
beings—we remember our higher purpose, just as we remember our role in
the unfolding of our collective experience ... filling our cups with
the liquid light of unconditional love.
Many of us seem to be
forever racing through unlimited fields of probabilities, yet at the
same time feel somehow stuck within a sense of limitation: running
here, running there ... back and forth ... in space and time. Creatures
of our societal designs, we have become so intent upon reaching the
often unattainable and illusive "goal" that all-too-often, we seem to
lose ourselves, blind to the beauty of the journey itself: forgetting
that the wonder of life is to be found in the subtle shades of
"becoming" ... and not in the black and white borderlands of "arrival."
Ask
yourself. How often do you stop and take notice of the pure miracle of
the journey itself: that you are birthed ... that you breathe, that you
feel ... that you love and are loved (on so many levels) and yes, that
you are even capable of contemplating how you pass through this
lifetime to another? You are like a seed, which takes root in the soil
and then reaches upwards, towards the sun, growing tall and mighty,
like a great oak tree ... only to drop its seed again, perpetuating its
own eternity.
Miracles unfold around us in every moment, but
they often elude us, while we distract ourselves by projecting into a
non-existent future or to the memory of a time we believe was surely
more beautiful and rewarding than now.
Pay attention to the fact
that, in the end, you have this: this moment; this hour of your making:
of joy or suffering; of light or darkness; of love or fear. Realize
that you are the seed (container of all memory), the root, the tree,
the branch and the leaf, spinning its graceful dance into winter, as it
falls to the frozen ground below. And consider, when you drink, for the
last time, of the wine of Earth's incredible bounty: Will you recognize
all that is yours - and has always been? Will you celebrate the
perfection of all that life is? Or will your ponder what might have,
could have been?
Life is oh so precious. Gaze into the innocent
eyes of a child; notice the first day of spring; taste the raindrop on
your lips; watch the sun rise; sew a seed. Know the perfection of just
"being." Beauty is all around you, there to be celebrated, as is the
miracle, forever unfolding....
... Pay attention. ©Patricia Cori
