States of Gratitude came while riding the MUNI BUS!
It was cold, and dark. 7:30 p.m. I was downtown in the heart of San Francisco.
I have been totally surrendering to being here, and the biggest surrender is
NOT TO
I REPEAT... NOT TO DRIVE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!!!
One of my friends said she had read that the car represents the ego.
Well if that's true I've been forced to surrender.
The worst part about San Francisco is driving and parking, It makes no sense, to drive unless you have an empty garage waiting for you and the route you take has no one way streets which is virtually impossible here.
My only solution has been to surrender! I find a spot to leave my car for the 6 days allotted before street cleaning grants a ticket. I walk everywhere. This comes with many compromises. One biggie is not going to the grocery stores I prefer unless I want to ride the bus.
So tonight I really wanted to go downtown to a class I love. I hadn't been in a month due to the parking and driving situation. Seriously it's that bad. I decided to bare all and take the Muni tonight.
So here's what happened,,,,,,,,,
something really wild, and yet not so wild when you think about spiritual development.
I got really open and relaxed in my class, and felt ahhh at peace with the world.
And then, there it was this like WOW I felt the oneness and felt the deep support of the Universe! LIGHTS FLASHING!
I felt the gratitude show up as deep Gratitude for the Muni Bus!
I had this like ah ha of wow thank you bus drivers,
thank you roads, thank you crazy taxis, thank you
the way everything actually works. And although so much of our time and what
we hear on the news and we witness speaks to us as This isnt' working, I have to say
that the MUNI, the Traffic, and the
whole of the whole are working quite well together
I REAL EYES, REALIZED how everything is here to support us.
I felt deep relaxation as I walked back to the Donut World, where I got back on the
MUNI to go uptown to my house.
Gratitude is a wild thing. When it authentically shows up, in any moment, take it in
and REJOICE! It's different to feel it from the ground up, like right there in the belly,
than to muster it up and think about oh this is what I'm grateful for.
OVER THE HOLIDAY, if you're so inclined...
Take time to be alone, meditate, or listen, to what your truly in AWE over,
FEEL IT BREATHE IT AND LET IT FEED YOUR SOUL.
For anyone who read this, I AM TRULY GRATEFUL, for sharing this simple yet meaningful experience.
The writing is a followed inspiration, and the intent is to wake up GRATITUDE in all.
What's good for one is good for all.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE! YOU ONLY HAVE ONE!
Much Love,
Prema
