| The Mystery within... |
Last weekend my daughter and I watched the movie The Tree of Life. It was an unusual movie with
family members reliving flashbacks from their life surrounding memories of
their recently deceased son and brother.
My daughter had seen the movie before and it was very helpful to have
her explain to me that the mother represented grace and the father nature. Knowing this, I became intent on the
mother’s responses to life as it had unfolded around her, which was mostly one
of quiet observer, definitely not reactionary. She modeled, without words, grace. So this past week I took the opportunity to practice more
observation of the life going on around me. As a conscious observer of others I became aware of times
when it would have been so easy to get sucked in and react, but I felt little
inclination to do so. It was life
giving.
What if we could all practice being more observant of the life
going on around us and let Grace bridge the gap in our nature?
