The Essence

Every day, every moment, everything that this life brings to me, to you – to every person on the face of this earth - it's all gifts.  The gifts of joy, the gifts of understanding, the gifts of growth.  Of course, we only look at it from our little perspectives. 

My little story.  My little window.  How big is the ocean?  Well, sometimes, it’s only as big as your window is. 

Then someone comes along, and says, “You know, you should really come out on the balcony.  Don’t look at it though the window.  There is no reason to look at it through the window.  There is no reason to limit your view of understanding.”  Because without passion, you cannot have compassion. 

And without compassion, you cannot have understanding.  And of course, this goes on.  This goes on.  But, do you have a passion?  And what is your passion for?  Do you have a passion for that gratitude?  Do you have a passion for that acceptance?  Do you have a passion for this life? 

People ask the question, “What is the point of all of this?”  The point is actually amazing, if you have ever allowed yourself to feel it.  Your being on the face of this earth is not by any means insignificant. 

You may feel incredibly insignificant.  But don’t.  Because within you resides the essence of every single scripture ever written.  Within you are the answers to all the questions in this world that have been asked, and will be asked and are being asked.
