Sh'viti

In this moment, I am content. I have my health, my family, my friends, my pets, a good job, a great place to live. Now, illusion being what it is, of course all of us have all or some of these things, but do we always stop to think about them? Do we keep HaShem's blessings in the forefront of our minds/hearts? Sh'viti.... God is always with me/before me. There is a prayer/blessing I learned at a retreat sponsored by Walking Stick Foundation, founded by R. Gershon Winkler. It is an ancient Lakota prayer, I believe, but it is relevant to anyone. "May you walk in beauty. May beauty be beside you. May beauty be behind you. May beauty be before you. May beauty be below you. May beauty be above you." I add, "May beauty be with you every step of the way" Beauty is the Abundant Blessings of The Creator. The key for us is to know that we are always surrounded by this beauty every moment of every day.
