We Are Spirits

Spirits

The 80's band the Police have an interesting song, "We Are Spirits in the Material World".   A song that hits on a key truth, the we has human beings are indeed having a spiritual experience in our human material world. 

We often get so caught up in the material world that we lose sight of the more important experiences of love, kindness, charity, friendship, and service. 

When we turn down the material and accentuate the spiritual, we find ourselves more buoyant, joyful, and peaceful. These are the qualities of enlightenment. 

We can be challenged to achieve peace when we are bombarded by the negative news of the day.  In a a world of such awe inspiring beauty, why focus elsewhere.  We need to take ownership of our personal experience and as the other classic song goes focus on peace, love, and understanding. 

What we focus on expands.  

We need to make a concerted effort to focus on the beauty in life, on the splendid wonder of nature, an on the love and friendship in our lives.  We need to continually remind ourselves of the gift of life and to live in the present moment.  After all is there anything more perfect than a sunny Spring day. 

We have the choice. 

We can live in the light.

With Love,

Coach K
