THE WONDROUS BEAUTY OF THE MOST MUNDANE SITUATIONS “The beauty and goodness of the world That surrounds you everyday, Wherever you go, whatever you do Can only be revealed, seen and experienced When you are at peace and in harmony With the world within you…” Living in this very present moment No matter what I am doing Reveals the wondrous beauty of Even the most mundane situation— Even here, at this landfill, Crowded with so many waiting In line to dump their junk and garbage On a sunny Saturday morning. I have come to understand that It is the inner view that determines The quality of all that I see and experience, Not the other way around as most believe. It is where I come from into life, My thoughts, feelings and attitudes That color and shape my own reality— And knowing this truth is liberating For though I cannot control the outer world, My inner world is mine to create… And so, even here, among the noisy trucks And hurrying harried people I am amazed and delighted to see Rainbows arching across the sky and Seagulls wheeling in silent symphonies And feel a cooling breeze kissing my cheek On this ordinary day at the dump when I am at peace within myself and in Alignment with all living beings in the world And seeing the wondrous beauty of Even this most mundane of situations.
