How easy it is to slip out of a daily discipline. Or so I found out as I traveled back to Iowa/Illinois. I started out with good intentions of maintaining my use of daily meditation book.
I was not quite so aware of how much I enjoy a routine. I get up, make up bed, brush my teeth and go to make tea and breakfast. I bring it my room and sit to start my day. I start with mediation and reflection as I eat my breakfast. I then post my reflection.
As I traveled that routine gets interrupted and I didn't even start my day with my cup of tea. I started into a busy schedule and lost track of my meditation routine.
Yet, I did notice nature around me. For instance, have you have noticed the vibrancy of green grass as it rains? It is just a particular shade that I'm not sure the camera or an artist can quite capture it.
There has been one significant change in me since I started reading this daily meditation book. I notice the beauty around me. I often pause to smell the flowers or the tree blossoms. I notice the beauty of storm clouds. And I often tune into the rhythm of Mother Earth. None of these things require that I read my meditation book, yet I somehow become more in harmony with nature.
And by doing so, I become more in harmony with God. And that my friends, never goes out of my daily routine.
