Today, I am grateful for the Edge. My gratitude alphabet is moving slowly, and I got stuck at E for Edge.
I like to live on that knife edge, where you never really know what's going on, but where you're so keenly aware of the Mysteries that life is always interesting. I get really, really sad sometimes, along with being really, really joyful, and what often keeps me balanced is the thought that "life is suffering". This means that whatever happens, if it's good, is a gift, and if it's not good, well, life is suffering. So you never really expect that things will be excellent, and then when they are, you're pleasantly surprised.
So, how can we keep the joy in our hearts? And how can we keep our feet from being cut as we dance on the knife's edge?
- Open your mind. Maybe you're wrong. Maybe you're right. Whatever the case, it's not worth building fences.
- Keep on loving.
- Remember, you're always at a crossroads. There is no easy chair you're gonna sink down into.
- Keep on moving.
- Be attentive! With all six of your senses. Open up as much as you can, and say yes when it's time.
