The Sweetness of Life

13 Replies

Lately have you been tasting the sweetness of life upon your tongue? Or have the events and challenges of the past couple of years left you feeling bitter?

Even in the “most normal” of times (what does that even mean anymore?), we all can do better at seeing, appreciating, and tasting the sweetness of life. It’s all around us, all the time. But when we become mesmerized and overwhelmed by the bitter, it can become almost impossible to taste the sweet. This requires requires intention and focus.

Today take the time to taste and savor the sweet aspects of your life. (Children are very good at this. Observe and remember.)

Even if you can only find one small thing to do so, it’s a start. Focus on it and let it expand in your heart and mind. This is one of the important tools for living life consciously and deeply.

Let yourself fall in love with life, all over again.

      I chose this photo because it relates to both my statement of “tasting the sweetness of life on your tongue”, and the innate ability of children to embrace the simple beauty and joy of life. I love this boy’s face. He is so obviously happy in this moment of “tasting the rain”.
