Are You Truly Awake and Aware?

Greetings

Periodically I review some of my favorite collections of ideas, stories, quotes and poems. Upon reflecting this weekend, I came across this one about the topic of Awakening. In spiritual circles, September 11 holds an ideal time for awakenings on the planet. Personally, I have had many wake up calls over the last year. This surprised me because I thought I was alive, awake and aware, and yet, I keep getting awakened again and again.

It seems to work like a continual unfolding process......

Awakening by Judith Givens
Awakening is always
Unfolding, never undone
Just as there is no end to infinity or time
The awakened one knows that her life
Is a continuing process
Her only goal is to be fully present and alive
She plans for the future
But does not strive to make things happen
Because her attention is in the Now
Her life complete in every moment.

What are some awakenings that you have had in your own life?

Shine On, Dr. Michelle Casto
