To be aware is to be alive. To learn how to manage negative attitudes, emotions, and thoughts is living in grace. To recognize appearances are not real is living beyond grace. Our mind is so habituated to negative chatter, it seems almost normal. We get lost in the weeds. We must rise above. We must be present. We must be aware. We must learn methods of transformation that neither suppress nor ignore. Having these in our daily life makes everything sparkle. A deep and subtle joy begins to shine, transforming the muck. The more we practice this way, the more we are bathed in radiant joy. What an awesome way to start the new day!
