AMAZING!
I recently watched a "Ted Talk" by Louie Schwartzberg called "Nature. Beauty. Gratitude." The time-lapse photography and the words spoken by a little girl and a Benedictine Monk moved me so deeply. I was transformed immediately with even greater reverence for the power of nature. I kept saying "amazing" over and over again as I watched.
I often contemplate how to inspire others to open their hearts. What does that mean? What does it look like? Feel like? What are the words and images to use?
When we are AMAZED by the wonders all around us we open a door to our heart. So, why don't we spend more time being AMAZED?
I have a dear friend, Jeannie and whenever someone asks her, "Hey Jeannie, how are you?" She answers, "Amazing!" And you know what......all of a sudden you feel amazing too!
And.....who are we not to be AMAZED! To get out of bed in the morning with the blessing of a new day - AMAZING! Legs and feet that take us up mountains and along streams, hands that hold new babies, make art and lovingly reach out to another, arms for stretching and hugging, eyes to see colors and faces, ears that can listen to music and birds, and each of us a voice unlike any other. Nature all around us - each day unique and glorious, no two sun rises or sun sets ever the same! AND no one exactly like YOU!
This week I dare you to look yourself in the mirror every morning and start your with "I AM AMAZING!"
