Appreciation
Over the past several months since my first experience I have noticed a new found sense of appreciation. I never really used to give it much thought, but I have learned to question everything even if you think you already know what its about. Have you ever just stopped and taken a look at the palm of your hand? The amazing details of natures design, from the lines surrounding the fingertips to the intricate maze of lines covering the palm. Can you appreciate the beauty of life when you realize that those lines are your identity, they are different for everyone. How incredible is that? Most of us don’t even take the time to think these things anymore, but the beauty of life is there, if you decide to question it. You can’t help but appreciate the world we live in, how everything flows, how a sunny day lifts moods not only that of humans, but animals and plants as well. Why does it? When I realized I couldn’t answer that question, I couldn’t help but develop appreciation for it. Then I started appreciating artwork and sculptures and statues. I appreciate the artist and how their mind came to bring about the reality of what it is that they percieved, and just that act alone is beautiful. Then seeing the finished product, it is a form of admiration previously unknown to me.
I have found myself appreciating little things, such as how I feel at different times, how the body is fragile, and what I eat or do changes it so quickly, that I have a much greater respect for it. I appreciate that I can sense the inner energies and feel at peace. Something many have never experienced. Appreciate the fact that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Appreciate that we are all connected and that the universe works in mysterious ways that we don’t always have to understand. I appreciate family, and friendships more, because they mean so much. Appreciate how random acts of kindness with strangers can make your day, and it doesn’t matter if that kindness is being given to you, or you are the one giving it. I have also developed appreciation for all the people out there with creative talents and skills such as playing musical instruments, and even more amazing when a group works together to deliver a beautiful song (such as in the post below this).
Appreciation for all the different perspectives people have, that your perspective of life is only but a small fraction of what life has to offer. But the greater appreciation is when you can share these realities and mold them together into something beautiful, and create unforgettable memories. We are never alone, because we carry within us all of the memories that define who we are, our reality, our world, goes with us everywhere, and no one can play you, better than you can. Which is why I also have appreciation for being able to express myself, without being judged, without being told I’m wrong because my reality doesn’t mix with theirs. I have appreciation for all of the amazing people I have met here on tumblr, you are all amazing and I know now that I am not alone in my perspective, that I’m not crazy, and that my experiences have been genuine. It has been incredible reading all of your blogs and seeing the creativity that is ripe within humanity, and the fact that many people are under going a spiritual awakening. As crazy as these times are, I find appreciation for the fact that I am here, during what could possibly be the most important time of human history.
I would like to say a warm heartfelt thank you to everyone here on tumblr, and those that have been reading my blog. Appreciation is love, and love is everywhere.
