Daily Question, December 20

In what moments do I feel most content?

  • Avril

    Doing my morning gratitude work. The quiet before the girls gets up. After a great workout. Alone time with my amazing husband.

  • sunnypatti

    Snuggling with my husband and cat in bed, then waking up and snuggling on the dog (he’s much too big for the bed).
    During my morning meditation routine.
    While surfing and practicing yoga.
    Sitting on or walking the beach.
    Holding my husband’s hand.
    Right now 🙂

  • EJP

    Surrounded by my grandchildren.

  • Kevin

    When pausing while rowing as the sun comes up.
    When a piece of writing I’m working on falls into place.
    When a grandchild yells, “Hey Grampa!”
    When sitting around a fire with friends.
    When the days promises are done.
    When I kiss my wife goodnight.

  • Michele

    Being with my children.
    Laying in bed with my cat.
    Relaxing in my home.

    The most beautiful moments I experience have to do with feeding my soul. When I get a cheerful feeling in my heart. That is usually in nature, when I hear beautiful music, when I make music with others, when I walk past fruit and vegetable stalls on the market. Always when I think of my husband Karel. When my little girl next door gives me baked cakes. Then she stands at the door with a huge smile on her lips. If at the end of the day I've been able to say to myself "I don't think I hurt a singl...

    The most beautiful moments I experience have to do with feeding my soul. When I get a cheerful feeling in my heart. That is usually in nature, when I hear beautiful music, when I make music with others, when I walk past fruit and vegetable stalls on the market. Always when I think of my husband Karel. When my little girl next door gives me baked cakes. Then she stands at the door with a huge smile on her lips. If at the end of the day I’ve been able to say to myself “I don’t think I hurt a single heart from dawn to night.”
    The last sentence is from a longer poem/prayer. 😊💛

      Dear Christine, thank you for both of these offerings. I sense in them the heart and soul of a mystic, a knowing of the deep wisdom, and I am grateful.

      Evening song It is good to look into one’s own heart just before going to sleep. If I have not hurt a single heart from dawn to evening. Whether I have not made eyes cry, have laid no melancholy on a being. If I didn’t say words of love to unloving people. And I find in the house of my heart,that I healed a sadness,that I wrapped my arms around a head that was lonely… Then I feel on my young lips the goodness of an evening kiss. It is good to look into one’s own heart and close one...

      Evening song
      It is good to look into one’s own heart just before going to sleep.

      If I have not hurt a single heart from dawn to evening.

      Whether I have not made eyes cry, have laid no melancholy on a being.

      If I didn’t say words of love to unloving people.

      And I find in the house of my heart,that I healed a sadness,that I wrapped my arms around a head that was lonely…

      Then I feel on my young lips the goodness of an evening kiss.

      It is good to look into one’s own heart and close one’s eyes in this way.
