Pause for a moment. What do you notice?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 18, 2009:




My breath.  Closing my eyes immediately and relaxing into the feeling of stillness and quietness.  A rising impulse to get up, move on and do all of the things that I am excited to do today.  I continue to pause and allow myself to rest...

Awareness feels like a great parent with its arms lovingly wrapped around a restless child.

I love this space.  Why is it so hard at times to stay still?  Kind of like a hyperactive child being forced to sit in a chair and my leg keeps moving and moving and moving!  But there is nobody forcing me to sit still in any chair.  I am completely willingly. 

So, let's try that again...

WIth my willingness and the realisation that I am choosing this, their is an immediate feeling of relaxing.  Slipping easily into the waiting peace of stillness and loving the sweet softness.  There is nothing but this precious moment that I give all of my attention to.  Letting go of all else, and just resting in loving silence.

Sweet.

Thank you!

If you could live forever, would you?

Live forever in this human form?  That must be the question, because I already believe that we have eternal life - the form of it simply changes.  So, do I want to live as Nicola who I now know myself to be, forever?

This is why I don't do multiple choice!  Too many ways to go with one question!

This question leads me to a host of questions of my own.

Who will walk the eternal path with me?  I don't want to see my friends and family die around me constantly.  I don't want to be like the vampire Lestat wondering from age to age...

Can my body stay like it is now?  I kind of like the shape that I am in right now!

It would be easier to take risks maybe and be able to go freely where I would like to go without worry of safety.  So I can go to Antartica and not have any fear of falling between blocks of ice or falling off of the edge of a precipice at the Grand Canyon! 

I want to be here as long as I am having fun and life feels like the grand adventure it should be!  I love dancing with the Divine in all of It's wonderful and interesting creations!  I love not knowing and having mystery and magic before me.  I kind of like the great unknown!  I have a good feeling about my life and that I will be here a long time.  I have a feeling that my physical death will be easy and smooth.  I have great trust that when I die, I will be more than ready for the next exciting adventure that God has in store for me!

I have no idea if I really answered the question, but I am quite satisfied with where the question took me!

Love to you on this beautiful Monday morning!

Nicola
