A Rose Is A Rose Is ....What?

A shocking delight of creamy white rose sprung into view just now. I saw it juxtaposed with cascades of pinky white jasmine in a glancing view from the desk through the window. Jasmine has been delighting the view for weeks now. How long the rose? By its size perhaps since yesterday. Yet though it may well have been there it might as well not as it was not yet seen--even though there had been plenty of looking out going on! I thought a similar thing a few days ago when two yellow roses fringed and frilled with orange and red appeared. When did they bud out? How many days or hours had they been there but not? Each new rose at first view elicits small delight and lifts a mood. Now there's a noticeable something. The vibration has risen. An abundance vibe is in the air.

On Mindfulness And Miracles

By Liz Zed

Thursday, Apr 09, 2009 07:40

Catching up on yesterday's post:  from the perspective of time and expanded spiritual practice a lucky incident of 'perfect timing' is viewed in a different light. The mindful observer has become 'tuned in' with awareness--to the ongoing nature of awesome, or seemingly 'miraculous' moments. With mindfulness the world becomes an ongoing observation station for such moments. With mindful awareness a new liveliness might appear as an unfolding or revealing of something which may have prior to the moment of mindfulness been merely as if hidden from view or not present. Simplicity expands with texture perhaps, or rich depth, or movement, or meaning. Life force creates an expanded present, and with life force a sense of beingness and joy. All this... out of noticing.

A Spot of Good Fortune

By Liz Zed

Wednesday, Apr 08, 2009 08:14

There's a story told about the first day's lunch-hour walk during a student's first spiritual retreat. At noon he set off in the snow to explore the retreat property walking in mindful silence, stopping at the midway point after walking half an hour, and then turning to retrace his steps in the snow back to the retreat center. Taking mindful notice that it was time for turning back brought a simultaneous awareness of an eagle's presence circling directly overhead. It was an awe-filled and inspired moment as his being filled with gratitude for the good fortune of turning at just this precise moment in time to take in the viewscape's breathtaking event--perfect timing to capture a small miracle unfolding. How lucky for this walk. How lucky for this perfect timing. It is a story related from the perspective of time, remembering back on a first spiritual retreat. Can you realize what had been the lesson brought forward as seen from the perspective of a much later moment in time and mindfulness practice?

The World Just Got Better

By Liz Zed

When it seems like the inner guide is making a request to spend time in quiet contemplation I've learned that it's probably a good thing to pay attention and do exactly that. Sometimes, on such occasions I've been richly rewarded for the deep listening with an expanded awareness and a knowing just what to do. And such times can bring a sense of the miraculous. It is a good, and joy-filled feeling! During such segments of time that a sense of the miraculous fills the air, appreciation is also present in uncommon and bountiful measures. It seems simply that the world is a more beautiful place. The skies are colored more deeply and richly perhaps, birdsong is 'trillier', smiles are bigger and warmer, unimagined opportunities present themselves.  Am I simply having an experience of a keener ability to notice and appreciate? Or is the world truly manifesting more?
