Reflections on my training walk – #2

Why Can’t Every Day Be Beautiful?

These last few days of training outside have been cloudy, cold and frankly dismal. I miss the sun. Why can’t every day be beautiful? Well, Mother Nature teaches us that beauty returns … not on our terms but by the grace of something much bigger that connects us all.

With that thought, I decided to focus and look for something beautiful. I saw this pretty pink flower, and then I saw another, and another. My entire mood shifted to one of adventure … what else would I find if I stayed open and focused? I discovered more color, birds singing, and best of all … a feeling of gratitude. My entire perception shifted.

I have faith that the universe shows us what we focus on. Our thoughts become things. Our emotions inspire like-emotions. And together with our actions we create our reality.

So let’s focus and have faith that we can find a cure for this fucking cancer! If we all do just a little, we can live a reality where cancer no longer creates suffering. Let’s learn from Nature that beauty always returns in one form or another. It’s all in our minds, our hearts and our actions.
