As things continue to pick up momentum, I find myself pausing and becoming very still.  Do you hear the birds chirping and the grasshopper as it dances in the wind?  There is so much beauty in this world, so much for which to be grateful.  Hmmm, but I hear a child crying because she doesn’t have enough to eat.  I also hear a little boy who’s in pain, with no parents to care for him.  And all of this is happening with the birds chirping and grasshopper doing its dance.  So what do I need to pay attention to?  This is a very important consideration, but I don’t think that I alone can answer the question.  No, indeed, there is so much happening in this world simultaneously.  The world is like a huge orchestra that desperately needs its conductor.  And where is that conductor?  It’s the Spirit that dwells within.  It is He who created this Life, that hosts every color of the rainbow, every melodic note that was ever played.  It is the winds that move Spirit’s substance to and fro.  It is the waters that wash and purify.  It is the fire that burns bright and is never consumed.  It is Love!
 

Now you may feed that little girl and care for that boy who’s in pain.  You may also be grateful for the birds chirping and the dancing grasshopper.  All that we ever need to do is to pause, be still, and let Spirit direct our focus. Then we begin to know all that is to be known.  We may then begin to do what needs to be done!  The opportunity to be in Heaven is at hand!
