    I have not drawn the pebbles because the meditation and the quote from it are on my computer, which is still in the shop. I will add the rest of the drawing when I get it back.

  • Many colorful and surprising events occur along my life-path.

    Life-Path Series-Many surprising and unexpected events occur along my life-path.

    One of those events is occurring as I write. I was compelled to take my computer in for repair this morning before I could post today’s Inspired Practice.

    By reminding myself not to panic about that, I began to listen within.

    I have been figuring out each new step even though technology is always new for me.

    It is actually turning out to be pretty fun! Who knew?

    Anyway, I am grateful for all the new progress as I figure this out for the first time.

    And now, we’ll see how it goes!

  • Comfort of precious experiences

    Comfort #9 – Comfort of precious experiences.

    It may be a beautiful sunset.

    It may be the smell of rain.

    It may be the sound of the wind in the trees.

    It may be a wash of the hot wind across the sand.

    These are all experiences in Nature, and they are all precious.

    They remind us of a special time, of a connection beyound ourselves.

    Other experiences may be cooking a special recipe.

    Reading a book we once shared.

    Taking a walk to a special coffeeshop.

    Spending time in a bookstore.

    Some experiences are by ourselves.

    Some are with someone else.

    Each experience holds a recognizable, uplifting feeling.

    That is what makes it precious.

    Even if we are grieving, taking the moment to pause to breathe it in, is important.

    We can feel the meaning behind the experience.

    We are loved, or loving.

    We are in a distinct relationship with the divine at those moments.

    We are able to conect within on a deeper level.

    We can feel the Presence of something beyond the present moment.

    Although we feel it in the present moment.

    This is a feeling we can return to at any time.

    When we embrace the Presence of the divine, we are led to comfort.

    It may be a memory, or it may be a moment of peace right now.

    Comfort is always available.

  • Feeling the urge

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.21 –

    Feeling the Urge

    I have been prompted more and more to follow the urge to be peaceful.

    I am really glad to discover this new tendency in me, since I had tended to be more depressed and despairing and angry in the past.

    By following the urge to be peaceful, I give people more room.

    I allow for the fact that they may be having a bad day, received bad news, are frustrated in their lives in some way.

    They may not yet have the tools to deal with these negative situations in more productive ways.

    It has taken quite a long period of commitment for me to learn the new tools which are making my life more productive.

    The new tools which I am learning include giving myself time to think about the situation.

    I also include the fact that it takes me longer to figure things out with my new tools, simply because I have not had as much practice with them.

    I move more quickly to solutions because of my new approach.

    I spend much less time in negativity and confusion.

    I have discovered my purpose in life, acquired new skills with which to fulfill it, and I love doing it.

    So it is well worth finding a way to peace.

    I am grateful every time I can be true to that urge.
