Conscious Living

we used to have grace, the kind of grace that was petitioned for all. likewise,  strength. it was how we purified our love, but it was only pretending. we were defending what we thought  we did well at defining. how could the convicted be released so simply? it's time for guidance. someone to watch over us--not to destroy, but to compete for more than just mere contentment. let's learn how to enjoy  looking into someones' eyes again.  the spirit of our ancestors ask us  to achieve this, this just one thing. 

Today I realized the differences between what day dreaming and paying attention looks like.  Yes, I was observing my fellow classmates--but also myself. I would have honestly considered the day dreamer to be a hot head and self confident individual. While this still could be true, it was an assumption on my part, of course, but it also made me evaluate myself.  Am I always day dreaming? I find that often times it is very difficult to pay attention to what's right in front of me. This ranges from cooking, to TV, to conversations with people I would call close friends. What is wrong with me right? We are all human, we all have short attention spans, but what has really stopped me from just listening. My professor went on a rant, if you will, and called out a student to answer his not-so-clear question. This day dreamer, immediately blushing, asked what the question was in the most puzzled tone.

"If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life" I would love to be at this point in my life. I mean how incredible to not have my mind crowded with so many thoughts, worries, and plans. This is about living simply. How can I live more simply? This phenomenal book I've been occasionally reading, discusses something that we've all heard--there is not enough time in a day to do all that we want to do. Of course this is true, but frankly, our lists are far too long. This author simply states that we have to make a list of priorities. A list consisting of 5 things. My list began with my relationship with God and included time for myself. I can't think of a season of my life where I set aside time for myself. This is going to change this year. To live more simply, but to live more fully.
