Abundance defined

Lil' Junior. Isn't he simply adorable?!

Abundance isn't only something we manufacture. It is something we tune into. And if our imaginations are allowed to be limitless .... ?

This morning the sunrise was so brilliant, it was blinding! My lil' pet, Junior was out in the garden looking towards the sun in a sphinx-like pose. The light had caught his black shiny coat which glistened nearly as bright as the sunrise. He looked so strong and full of himself .... regal like. so unlike his owner lol!!! :P Though he is usually focused on many happenings around him, but this morning, he seemed solely entranced by the light and colour and oblivious to his role of protecting his human family's home. the bark, that is, not the bite!

As he basked alone, he seemed to be absorbing as much of the sun's awakening energy as we humans try to do. I think it allowed him to feel abundantly whole, as well as part of a bigger universe.

Actually, he was scanning the yard looking for other moving lifeforms and that odd wilted orchid in an attempt to satisfy his predatory cravings. But, there was a moment when I believe he was reflecting on his dogginess.

One within himself....One with nature.

Abundance defined. Thank you my precious Junior, yet again, for being my teacher this morning.







"Walk on a trail of loving kindness
Walk on a path of compassion
And all else around you will be beautiful."
Every Blessing

People generally don't know how to define abundance because they do not know how to define contentment.

Being disatisfied and uncontent with what you have before you will make you seek for more abundance in life. Once you appreciate what you have and stopping wishing for the things that you don't have will make you more alive and more grateful.

Everyone is a teacher. I believe in that. I am not a dog person, but I have a cat, and I learned alot from her. She taught me many things, and among them is gratefulness and unconditional love.

Medie, he certainly is! want some lessons from him. I'm his agent! lolz
Rose, so true. It's good to stop the samsaric pursuits and count on our blessings. How? By comparing ourselves to the less fortunate.
Blue, oh he barks a lot. He's an alpha doggie after all. But obedient in most ways. ;)
Lydd, pity we are not able to get updates about your pooch now :(
Fairy, percisely! Unconditional love is their greatest trait that we could certainly learn from. Thanks :)

Gratitude said...
