March Theme: PAYING ATTENTION
The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness. Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving its gifts with open eyes and open heart.
Pay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the holy is drawing near.
For anyone trying to discern what to do w/ their life: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. that’s pretty much all the info u need.
When you pay attention to something you don’t especially value, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re paying with your life.
Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.
Your attention is like a combination spotlight and vacuum cleaner: It highlights what it lands on and then sucks it into your brain—for better or worse.
I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they needed constant attention and one day I decided I had better things to do.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
In any moment, on any given day, I can measure my wellness by this question: Is my attention on loving, or is my attention on who isn’t loving me?
