I keep coming back to Letter Twenty “Appreciation.” For me it seems like the essence of all that is to come. It’s a simple thing. An awareness of all that blesses us. The beauty, the goodness, the loving; all the things we, as humans, take for granted. Become conscious in your heart and you will awake to the most precious thing we have been given.
I walked along the street today and noticed nobody’s looking, nobody’s seeing. ‘Observe’
I sat inside a restaurant today and noticed nobody’s hearing, nobody’s listening. ‘Give Attention’
I went inside my God today and noticed nobody’s yearning, nobody’s crying. ‘Surrender’
My God went inside me today and noticed ‘Gratitude.’
“You told me at the beginning that appreciation, more than anything else, set you apart from humans. Why is that quality so much more important than any others you might have named?”
