Daily Connect: Make Everything Okay?

The Internet is a pretty magical place. Yes, there are problems - of addiction and procrastination, of distraction and dilly dallying. But. Within reason. It's a preeeettty magical place. And yesterday I was turned onto a new site that - trumpet blast - MAKES EVERYTHING OKAY.

No Seriously.

Have you tried it?

Don't read on if you haven't tried it yet.

Ok.

So. Not to be radically dismissive. I mean. Yes. Some things are not "okay" - that is, our circumstances do not always allow us to pretend we are in a winter wonderland of fireplaces, snow cones and hot cocoa and, no, a shift in your perceptions will not fundamentally change the circumstances in which you find yourself - BUT - the meaning of those circumstances, the all-to-human shift from real sorrow and pain to self-imposed suffering and emotional distress is perceptually vulnerable to radically transformative moments of peace. Because within every moment of madness, there is a fundamental place of sanity - a seed of "okay." Gravity may feel like it's pulling you down. But. I swear. It's really holding you up.

Happy Thursdays loves.

Any perception can connect us to reality, properly and fully. What we see doesn't have to be pretty, particularly; we can appreciate anything that exists. There is some principle of magic in everything, some living quality. Something living, something real, is taking place in everything. - Chogyam Trungpa
