One Minute Meditation – Dragon Brook – Part II

 

One  Minute Meditations is an ongoing series of short videos, poems, and commentary intended as a meditation.  Offered as an opportunity to step back from your cyber routine and settle into a more natural rhythm, if only for a minute. Dragon Brook II

In the second half of this two part series of videos , the perspective shifts.

Previously I said:

“Sometimes everything can be going your way.  When you need something, it can just show up at the right time.  Other times it seems like life has left you behind.  You can only stand there and watch as it moves on without you.”

Here the brook is rushing away from us.  How does this feel? There is absolutely a different quality to it. While the sound of the water was still lovely, I noticed a sense of loss.  It was as though the water moving away from me was draining the life from me, as blood from a wound in my heart.

How can a shift in perspective create such an emotional change.  From joy, to sadness.  From a sense of being cared for, to a feeling of being neglected? Such is the power of our point of view.

Is it a shift from facing east to west? Or is it a shift in the mind?

The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man – G. K. Chesterton

Where Is My Mind?

Perception holds keys
But the door remains hidden
ebb and flow we must
