Just For A Minute

This reflection is mindfully and timefully exactly one minute long. Every minute that passes us by is a gift. What we do with these gifts can make a difference in our world. How do you plan to use yours?

For the next minute,

Consider this.

In 60 seconds,

The Earth under your feet moves about 17 miles.

The Earth itself moves over 1,

000 miles in its orbit around the Sun.

Over 250 newborns take their first breath.

And over 100 people take their last.

So as the clock ticks,

Everything is changing.

Yet many are standing still.

And some are even going backwards.

Yet every single minute that passes us by is a gift.

The gift of doing something different.

Like the gift of us bestowing a random act of kindness.

Or the gift of doing nothing at all.

Like the gift of tuning in to the in and the out breath.

And allowing what is out there to come in.

So what do you plan between the next tickings of the clock?
