FS Extra👣 The experience of appreciation is a profound gift
Published: Fri, 12/11/20
Appreciation is a way of life, much more than it is a
holiday. Even the capacity and experience of appreciation is
a profound gift. I’m sure trees and flowers in their way
appreciate sun and rain. Each species shares its special
reality. The experience of being human is truly one of the
rarest in the living universe – and if we appreciated
that, our unity and diversity each day, what a wonderful
world it would be.
Enjoy the rest of this message and short video here
Pulling back from our personal obsessions with ourselves,
our beliefs  and cultural divisions, Arab, Jew, Christian,
Republican, Progressive, Black, Native, White – pulling
way back as the astronauts do in space, we would see that
all that divides us really are the mental images generated
from an extremely thin layer of cells on top of the brain.
We are in fact all brothers and sisters, one humanity –
and very, very privileged at that. And to believe otherwise,
to believe that we are different, that our ideology and
politics are important enough to kill for is a profound and
pervasive form of insanity – a delusion that humanity has
suffered from for thousands of years.
Here again is that link to see the full text and video
On this day of appreciation I celebrate all the wonderful
spirits that have contributed to my offerings and I
appreciate all that have benefited in some way form my
modest efforts. Each is trying in their own way to break the
same spell and meet the living world with grace, care and
respect. And every moment we do, the earth and everything
sharing this precious planet – rejoices.
The video at the link above is one of my favorites. I hope that
you enjoy it too. Please share it with friends.
