This morning my seven year old son waited excitedly for his ride to school. While outside under the twin oak trees, he looks up past the branches and calls for me to come quickly. I walk out into the sweet smelling morning air to see what is so urgent for me to see. He points up and states: "look mama, the moon is smiling down on me". I look and there is a perfect crescent moon turned just so to look like a smile. I think about how simple it is to look around me and see that no matter what is happening in my life, the Universe is smiling down on me and all will be well. If anything, just watching my son waiting for a ride is enjoyable. My mind is frequently full of chatter that does nothing to benefit me or my family, but if I slow down enough and pay attention to "what is", then I will surely find that I am being smiled upon and blessed in every moment.
Here's to the Universal Smile....
