Tolerance of the Spirit

I am blessed this day to feel abundance and peace. It begins when I step outside, breathe deep of the dawn, and feel my balance. Just for today, life is not about how much, and you. It is about the splendor my Creator puts forth, and my choice to immerse myself in all of it. There's a hint of the coming heat of the day, and I do my part to ensure my plants and fish are cared for, and then me.
I like what responsibility means to me today. I care for what is in my ten acres, and myself.
The rest is up to you.

I am grateful.

I am best in early morning, after rest, when pain is at its least. I am grateful I embrace the joy of living, and my body, the magnificent container that is home to my soul. And so I make the most of what I am and have, and feel grace in my life.

I am not apart from, but an integral part OF. 

And all it takes is the choice. It didn't happen over last night, but over hundreds of nights. And I continue my journey. My destiny may be predetermined, but my choices remain my own.
Today I work on tolerance, of mind and spirit, a pathway to acceptance, and the calming of my mind.
 No longer do I feel the constant whirling of the hamster wheel in my mind, and I am better prepared to confront it when it does set to spin. I'm grateful.

Today I have hope. I have tools. I have love, and I have life.

And gratitude.

“Within Siddhartha there slowly grew and ripened the knowledge of what wisdom really was and the goal of his long seeking. It was nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

I love you.

Have a beautiful day.
