Today we wake to morning sun or clouded skies obscuring sight. Stepping on left or right with intent or haunted memories. Which do we choose…in a universe where the mind travels hither to fro?

Reaching for cup of life, sipping on its elixir. There they are standing before us, thoughts transpiring from unknown caverns and galaxies. We observe, choosing wisely to which shall allow us most gratitude. Easy to choose happy dance, fairy and unicorn. What of the shadow of doubts, darkened past, suffering all around.

Go and play! or sit with shadows of our day? Both bring happiness. One may be short and sweet, leading to continuous seeking of pleasure in another playful dance. The latter, with a single breath, illuminated thought reality yielding infinite joy and happiness.

Sitting with pain and suffering, counting blessings as we may. Far greater returns seeking blessings of our day. Single breath, fixed upon blessings of this moment, transferring and transpired spacetime continuum.

Every thought ever had exists in our own reality. Choosing which to lead our day, creates road less traveled or path taken many times before. Live in a familiar galaxy or look to neighboring star cluster.

So, for today, we choose to count our blessings…start small, expand and transmute passed into future blessings. See all as it is, see all as it may…seek and ye shall find…neighboring moon or blistering sun, all a blessing for everyone.
