With all and anywhere – indeed a great goal to which I will strive in the seconds, minutes or hours that I have with those with whom I engage daily. And in the moments in between, I will do the same with the eternal and infinite that is always present.

Connecting with the infinite, humbling, beyond understanding – just a few features of such experiences that come to mind.

Against my better judgment, I sometimes see input from others as a challenge to my existing formed plans or ideas. I often have to remind myself to experience this input as an opportunity to improve upon the existing state. Looking for the opportunity to improve rather than replace may allow me to receive more easily.

Three ideas stand out – the weeds that block the light (recalling an earlier question this past week); not fully appreciating the incremental light that I shine; and related to this last point, spending too much time in bright-enough spaces that don’t really need additional light.

TO DO: clear or trim back the weeds, find the dark spaces, and engage.

All those to whom I am accountable and have made a commitment, implied or overt – my spouse, children, those I serve through my work, my leadership, my team, my family and friends. In some ways, the energy is greatest at the point of greatest expectation.

More meaningful action; more slow, deep breaths. Less second-guessing; less meaningless action; less questioning of what is meaningful versus meaningless.

While the weeds can support growth and merit appreciation in their own right, they must be vigilantly contained.

Two very different experiences trigger awe for the miracle of existence – the infinite expanse of space and the developing child, who grows in complexity daily – both unfathomable and just amazing.

The night sky with at least one visible star – all the better with a familiar constellation.

My direction, or perspective, more than my position (or objective reality) dictates my personal reality. Ok, maybe not fully learned recently, but certainly reminded of this recently and regularly.

Reducing the gap between intention and action – no need to look for support as I have available all that I need.

Wherever and whenever I have come across shared hardship – seems to be where and when the conditions become ripe for the type of connection and mutual reliance that supports community and generosity.

Indeed the challenge is the pause – not to rush forward, not to stop, not to turn around, but to pause.

Even if I could, I don’t think I would. Life and our series of lives and experiences are clearly complicated. To figure out which day I would relive, I would undoubtedly lose 2 or 3 trying to figure it out. I would then come back to an unrecognized reality further paralyzed by the question of my choice. Maybe we are fortunate to have no such choice and only the choice of today.

Rebuilding new and better routines that are not based solely on the products of habit.

I pause to take a moment to reflect; indeed there are infinite moments available to us.

Conditions are never perfect and, often, one can never be sufficiently sure. And how you return home may not be the same way you came. Just a thought although fully appreciate the sentiment.
