A moment’s meditation.

Take a moment today to just pause and look up. Marvel at the fact that you are here, now. That you have overcome insurmountable odds and obstacles to stand here today. Take a deep breath and let that sink in and embrace this day for the gift that it is. 

Sometimes all it takes is a simple shift in perspective, a reminder of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, of the sheer scale of the universe, of the odds that we’ve defied by simply existing. Sometimes recognizing this is all it takes to wake us from our slumber and pull back the veil of monotony that we easily get caught up in during our daily lives in modern day society. It is an absolute miracle that we are here today, at this moment; let us cherish our time here and make the most of it.
