Life's Balancing Act

"Look everywhere with your eyes; but with your soul never look at many things, but one."

-- V.V. Rozanov

Be aware of your environment; be in touch with God. It's that simple. Really. Your eyes are your means of being present in the real world -- right here, right now. Your soul is your conduit to the eternal -- always here, always now.

If you feed your eyes with the phantasmagoria of life, but forget to nourish your soul, you will soon be overwhelmed by it all. If you tend to your soul, but ignore the life that blossoms before you and all around you, you will become deeply irrelevant. 

As in all things, the trick is in the balance. The word that comes to mind, when I think of visually partaking in as much of the world as possible, is "wow!" When contemplating the One, the syllable that best captures the process for me is "ah." To balance, to harmonize wow and ah -- that is our challenge.

I hope your day is filled with amazing sights! I hope your soul is engulfed in underlying Unity. Today, and each day, may the dance between the many and the One unfold within you and around you, always in perfect harmony with the Uni-Verse.
