Many are missing their lives because they’re stuck in their heads.

Matthew 25:13

“Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

+++

This is one of the many times Jesus exhorts his followers in his parables to “stay awake” or “be vigilant.”

He also said this when asked when the kingdom of God would come: “The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is among you” (Luke 17:20-21).

In other words, the “Peaceable Realm of God”…is right here.

It’s available now…but only to those who are awake.

Are you present to your life…or are you lost in your mind’s incessant commentary and ramblings?

Take a moment or two to simply let your mind’s activity cease.

Look at a flower or a tree.

Really look at it.

Be totally attentive to someone who is talking to you without thinking about how you are going to respond.

Sit and simply pay attention to your breathing.

An experience of the Divine…is at hand.
