It's always time to start all over again from now. To come back to this moment. To rediscover the stillness of life and being. To come into relationship with the breath in a very precise way. To remember the simple force of attention in a very precise and concentrated way, so that I am not so invested in the outer world, but here and now in relationship with the place where my original value lies: my inner being. As I breathe in, I allow the stillness of life itself to become my teacher for a moment and almost immediately I begin to sense the fundamental goodness that forms the foundation of everything that exists. That goodness is already present here within my being and within my life, reaching out towards me, even finding me here. And a much finer substance begins to penetrate my cells, my molecules. And I remember that it is not my physical being, that matters so much. It is the metaphysical presence of life that flows into me, which makes the difference between life and death. And I come back to the simple action of giving thanks, which is equal to the breathing in the metaphysical sense of what feeds life itself. I am. Life is. We are together here in thankfulness, in gratitude, upright within ourselves in attention. And the very great depth of joy and goodness and glory that wishes to live within is here now. That is just the beginning of the glory. That is just the beginning of life, which flows into being in abundance. And here, at the beginning again, I embrace the stillness, the goodness, and the glory.
