It fascinated me to learn that most primal cultures don’t think of “religion” the same way we do. It isn’t an aspect of their lives, but infused into every aspect of their lives. So today, I tried to infuse my spirituality into every moment of the day, no matter what I was doing.
I started off eating my breakfast. Knowing that it all comes from the Earth, I thought a few words of gratitude for not only the wheat that made the bread, the chickens who laid the eggs, and the cow that gave the milk, but to the farmers who harvested the ingredients, and everyone along the way that helped get it to me this morning so that I could be nourished.
Next, I took my medication, and I realized that I was ingesting not only the helpful ingredients, but the work of people gathering ingredients, people working for years to find the right combinations, and people working with me to give me what I need.
Next, I got on my computer to do some work, and instantly got on the internet. Suddenly I was privy to almost any information I could possibly want, but more importantly, I was connected to everyone else in the world that was at that moment on the internet. We could look at the same pages, talk to the same people, and feel the same things as we watch human experiences unfold.
It’s only midday, and already I feel a connection to everyone on the planet. It’s amazing what a little awareness can do.
