Questions to ask and thought to consider....

Today is uneventful day.. friday......

Questions to consider:

When was the last time that you stopped to look closely at something that you normally don't examine closely?
Why do we tend not to stop and look and listen all that often?
How might we help ourselves get into the habit of stopping and noticing things?

For further thought:

Imagine how our lives might be if everyone had even a bit more of the Wisdom that comes from seeing clearly. Suppose people everywhere, simultaneously, stopped what they were doing and paid attention for only as long as it took to recognize their shared humanity. Surely the heartbreak of the world's pain, visible to all, would convert everyone to kindness. What a gift that would be.
