because this has been given to you by others -

You will become a child again, reborn.

my friends in the holiday season is to pause
with a long enough quality to actually SEE them.

and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

As the witnessing deepens,
you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

not sitting for anything in particular,
just enjoying how beautiful
just sitting doing nothing is,
how relaxing, how restful.

to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things,

not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho

- Edward R. Murrow

Be Enlivened
