Hi, friends,
David and I are taking quite seriously our new goal: to expand
our capacity to live in joy! <grin>
So today, since we started Evensong and we can go to church on
Sunday evening, we decided to laze in on Sunday morning and then
go to our favorite four star resort, Landsdowne, which is about
10 miles from our house, for brunch.
The Landsdowne brunch was sumptuous! Cold lobster and potato
salad, mountains of berries and beautifully cut melons and green
salads, at least 10 different kinds of cheeses, hot salmon,
carved sirloin and roast lamb, cold crab claws, king crab legs,
chilled peel and eat shrimp, made to order pastas and omelets,
lasagna, not to mention the desserts! Creme caramel, home made
vanilla bean ice cream, almond cheese cake, rum balls, and 10
different kinds of beautiful little pastries. Mimosas,
champagne, juice and strawberry banana smoothies, and great
coffee all included.
And facing this incredible array of tables, each with entirely
different choices, all included for one price, we began to muse
about Abe's cookie counter analogy. What if we really could
believe that life is just an expanded Landsdowne brunch, and The
Universe is buying?
What would I choose from the health station? Hmmm, vitality,
energy, glowing good health, great strength, endurance and
flexibility. The feeling of being light, fit, young and
gorgeous!
What would I choose from from the home station? A string of
Evensongs, all incredibly beautiful and different. One on a
gorgeous sea shore, and one on a mountain top. One by a river
and one in the desert! Each inhabited by beloved friends who can
think of no better way to spend their lives than to create Heaven
on Earth in this particular corner of Heaven! And in each of
these places, there is a suite reserved for us, anytime we care
to show up, for as long as we want to stay! And when we do,
people celebrate our coming! They are just thrilled that we
decided to come visit their precious Evensong for that time.
When we get there, there are not only these incredible people who
run the place, but other new friends we haven't met yet, gathered
to play, laugh and love together. Oh, I love this freedom to
live in lots of lovely places with joyous playmates.
What would I choose from the travel station? I would choose a
cruise of the Greek Islands in a glorious Evensong yacht, run by
loving friends who's idea of heaven on earth is to sail the
Mediterranean, finding all the most romantic secluded beaches,
and knowing how to land and do short trips to archeological sites
off the beaten path to places that sing with the melodies of
history and love. I can see us lounging on the deck of a
multimasted schooner, laughing at the stories of new found
friends of the Abe persuasion, joining in group meditations and
celebrations of Evensong at sunset on beaches so pristine and
beautiful it defies description. I see us eating gorgeous food,
simple and robust at some meals, elegant and delicate at others,
always perfectly prepared and attractively presented.
What would I choose from the self image station? I would choose
to see myself as a divine being of light romping through an
exuberant physically focused experience!
What would I choose from the wealth station, the friend station,
the family station? What other stations can there be?
Relationship, Creative Projects?
We could even think bigger? What would I choose from the world
station? What kind of world do I want? A world where more and
more people know that they are creators! Where more and more
people choose health, abundance, joy and laughter!
What do you choose?
I'm having such a good time!
Love and hugs,
Connee
