R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 145: Abundance Never Wavers

Today my mediation led me to the subject of Abundance. How interesting it is that during this time you hear many people talking about lack or the absence of Abundance in one form or another--as financial means, liquidity or even as love or peace or intimacy. The the universal principle of Abundance (as being an absolute quality of God) never wavers; is never absent; and is unconditional. There is always Abundance. We as humans may waver, are certainly conditional and can be "absent"; but Abundance, as an absolute concept, can't.

I need only look around me to see that this is true. And as I reflect more and listen to what sounds like a sea of birds chirping in the Silver Oak that wraps around the corner windows of my living room, it dawned on me that every living thing around -- except the humans-is thriving and fully in touch with Abundance. The birds are thriving this summer. The squirrels are fat and plentiful. The trees in my yard and around my neighborhood are lusher, greener and growing faster than ever this summer. The garden soil I tilled yesterday is alive with earthworms, an indication that the earth is abundantly provided for. The lettuce, beets, spinach, carrot and tomatoes seeds I planted are springing forth in full glory. (Too bad, Whole Foods!)

And then came the revelation. Only the humans appear to be separated from Abundance. What people are experiencing today, isn't about a lack of Abundance; it's about a disconnection from Abundance, both in mind and in action. Instead of declaring Abundance, we are declaring lack, when all around us is the evidence. Creations far less creative and far less sophisticated than we are tapped fully into Abundance. This revelation is a powerful reminder of the difference between what "seems" and what "is". It also reminds me that my experiences will be what I declare them to be. So today, I am calling life as I see it and as I know it to be--infinitely Abundant I am reminded to know, think, speak, act, look for and expect Abundance today and everyday. I invite you to do so as well.

Live Abundantly. B
