My ego mind is restless today, chattering like a monkey in a sea of endless distractions.
I
dug up this old photo a friend sent me on a Caribbean cruise vacation. A playful
little monkey took a shine to her, and rode on her shoulder at a wildlife
park.
One way to handle the monkey mind is to concentrate and be
in the now. To practice awareness of what you're doing. And try to do only one thing at a time. Eat breakfast without working the crossword puzzle. Begin the day in meditation and prayer. Connect with your being.
Later today, more monkey distractions surfaced with a message. This retro optical illusion postcard of a woman? Or a chimp? It all depends on how you look at it. Each moment the decision is yours as to where you place your attention. One brings peace, the other not so much so.
I was glad I listened to the angel message.
As I read the label: just be...
I grabbed the magnifier to be sure.
Just be...
