When your life is filled with the desire to see holiness in everyday life, something magical happens: ordinary life becomes extraordinary, and the very process of life begins to nourish your soul. ~Rabbi Harold Kushner
The Seekers Path…
How are you nourished by the very life you are living?
Today, where do you see the miraculous occurring in the situations you encounter or the people you meet?
When things are going well in your life it is very easy to see and believe in the goodness of the world. Everything seems right and good and we feel our spirits soar. What if we could maintain the feeling when the world around us shows hardship, disappointment and sadness?
On a remote mountain top village in Africa I got to witness this in action in a very profound way. We were in Tanzania the third poorest country in the world. It was early morning and my friend and I were walking in the village. Soon we saw 8 African women, some with babies on their back carrying 5 gallon pails of water on their head into the village, singing in a most joyful way. In the middle of great poverty, little food or money, these women chose to be blessed in the life they were living.
This story is a reminder to me that I get to decide how I will look at the events of my life. I can view my circumstances as hard or I can look through the lens of holiness and see the extraordinary in everything. How will you decide to view your life?
