Everything that Arises is Fresh

There is a saying in the meditation community, "everything that arises is fresh." When we create pauses in our busy lives, when we get quiet and still, our minds expand and we can sense the vast multitude of possibilities. And from that place, we are able to create more that we might have from our habitual way of doing and thinking about things.

If you stop and take a few minutes right now, to just sit and breath and be with yourself, what does this moment really hold for you? What is asking for your attention, your action or your non-action? Can you meet whatever comes up with a whole heart? If it's comfortable and pleasant, not judging that as good. And if it's uncomfortable, not judging that as bad. Just be in the freshness of the moment and let what needs to surface... surface. And embrace it. Now, what will you create with that?
