Simplify. Detach. Love. Laugh.
I have learned and I do believe that all we need do to model still more spiritual growth is there in four words: Simplify. Detach. Love. Laugh.
It's my way simplified theory that animals, plants...all living but nonhuman beings...do God so well because they neither think about it nor feel the need to think about it...plus, they don't have opposable thumbs.
Most important...the sliver of gold running throughout...is that animals, et al., just Be. In their just Being, no nonhuman, animal, plant or mineral, takes itself seriously...not "too seriously," not "so seriously," just seriously, plain and simple. Possibly, probably, because they are not built to take themselves seriously...and who is most God-blessed then?
Uh-oh...my very next thought was that's my goal. But, face it, we cannot not take ourself too seriously by trying not to take ourself too seriously. Continuing ed...another and same-old-same-old lesson for living in the Now.
And there is God...grinning with love brimming.
Thank you.
