A SUNNY DAY

We finally got a sunny day on this part of planet Earth. It was a beautiful experience doing the chores this morning. I am sitting here with a cup of coffee at my elbow; I wonder what I have to say. Today more than usual I don't feel that I have anything to say. I don't feel like repeating myself; although some of the things I touch on need to be said over and over.

My problem is, I am having trouble 'staying in the moment'. Everything is perfect right now. Yet, I find myself vaguely irritable. Why? What gets in our way of just being joyful? I anticipate, when I could be in the present. I have paradise all around me, yet, my vision is blurred by what's on my mind. It is not a thought that is plaguing me; it is a feeling. Dissatisfaction? Anger? Fear? Fear is at the bottom of every negative experience, no matter how it manifests. I guess it is the waiting. Waiting can conceal the fear that things won't turn out the way you want them to.

On one hand I have absolute faith that a new world, made of love, is emerging; but, some days I am less able to see it. The world seems to go on and on in its insanity! Although, I didn't even watch it; the extravaganza called the Super Bowl depressed me. It seemed to reflect everything that is wrong with  America. I know, I use to enjoy it myself; I mean no criticism of those that did. This year, however, the shallowness and the money driven, Roman styled spectacle spoke to me, not of nobility, honor or high civilization; but of denial, degradation, decay and the implosion of our society.

See- I told you I was irritable. I feel better now. Forgive me, if I brought you down. I know that underneath this veneer of craziness, people are waking up and soon we will see it reflected in the media and popular culture. As we grow, we will be better at ignoring these kinds of distraction and will be able to keep our minds in the moment and our expectations of a loving world for everybody.

I am going to enjoy this Sunny day! I hope you do too.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
