Marko made this collage with Mark in our art studio....do you like it???Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not.
Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.
~Ram Dass
I got this from a really cool blog and below is the link to David Thomas's blog site. I loved this. I believe you can make a difference to someone who is just standing by you in the store. It is how you choose to come from a space of love . The lady that sits in the booth where I park at work is like that. There is something I feel whenever I interact with her.....she is always seeing the light in me and I am always seeing the light in her. It makes my day....do you have people like that in your life? Have a great day!!! - Peace and Love, Michele
IT IS ALL IN THE LOOK OF LOVE!!!!
As I checked out at the grocery store the other day I was my normal silent self. The clerk was polite and cheerful, as most of them are. Though with most you can tell they’ve been trained to play the polite pre-recorded message fed to them by the employee training course. “Would you like paper or plastic?” or “Have a nice day”. And I usually respond with the same “fill in the blank” response. But this time was different.
She looked right into my eyes. I could tell it wasn’t anything personal, such as attraction or judgment. It was just her open soul looking as far as I would let her into mine. Just her soul looking into mine?! Surprise held me. Since errands aren’t very threatening I wasn’t particularly guarded. So she looked right into me. Of course this happened in a split second. There were other customers waiting. But it woke me up. I had never met this person before, and I had no idea why she peered into me. I wondered if she did this to everyone and if she maintained that intensity all day. It didn’t matter. The glance was only between us. Two single souls flashing a connection. As I finished paying, I smiled, looked into her eyes and wished her a good day, and I really meant it. She responded alike. The rest of my day felt charmed.
I realized that everyone around me has a vulnerable peephole through which to say, “I acknowledge your humanness and here is mine”. Try it. It’s kind of scary, since you are also vulnerable. But when it happens a link is made. And, who knows, you might charm someone’s day.
