Listen

Description

In this episode we will look at our lives like an impressionist painting - a beautiful landscape or scene that has a million different dots of color, or moments. Sometimes we can forget to back up and look at the big picture, and instead we focus on the struggle of the moment, not realizing it is part of the tapestry of our lives. We will spend some time identifying a moment over our entire life that we are grateful for, then a moment of this past year, this past month, this past week, and this very moment. We will identify what it is we are holding onto that keeps us from being grateful in the moment, and attempt to let go of the grip we have on it. We will end with our Listening step, and I will read the following poem by Michael Kiesow Moore, cited in gratefulness.org. Climbing the Golden Mountain Listen. Turn  everything off. When the noise of our lives drifts away,  when the chatter of  our minds  sinks into  that perfect lake of nothing, then, oh then we can  apprehend that golden mountain, always there, waiting for  us to be  still enough  to hear it.
