What is your highest calling for today?

To dwell in the pulse of the moment - to be present to each nudging, each calling, each invitation. This week I have been praying the same prayer, every day, from Carolyn Myss' book, "Entering the Castle."

I have prayed to be open, to open myself to Divinity, to Surrender, to be a channel for grace.... and it has been.... soul opening.

Yesterday I had an a-ha about my process as a human being. Sometimes I get frustrated... and focus on product, product, product (which tends to veer off, if I am not conscious, into future orientation) rather than process, process, process.

As so often, I had this burst of light and awareness that my process IS my product.

Here, as I type, is a distinct example of this phenomenon.

I realize, too, that being a channel for grace is something I do quite naturally in just being who I am. People truly enjoy just hanging out with me, being me.

Yesterday I managed to get a pair of loaner glasses for Emma, since hers broke - she was looking at waiting for a week for a replacement.... I just sat there, talking about Emma in all her Emma-ness and the technician said, "Hey, would you like a loaner pair?"

No charge, nothing.

I had gotten new contact lenses but life intervened and I couldn't make it to my check-in appointment. I sorta arrived with my tail between my legs as I was getting Emma's glasses replaced and purchasing refill contacts for Katherine.

They were cool with my lack-of-show and gave me an extra contact lense for myself (gratis) and scheduled a check in next Friday, which will be about the time I pick up Emma's glasses.

Before I went into the eye doc I gave myself a little warm-up speech about attitude. That I could be all ornery and cranky about the money I was spending, I could make excuses about not showing up for my check-in appointment, or I could just be me, a channel of grace.

I was startled at how beautifully things turned out, how helpful everyone was and how much laughter was shared in a place where I am usually not-so-pleased by the time I leave. (Eye wear can get expensive!)

So - my highest calling today and every day is to stay conscious and present and whole.

To be that channel for grace, for divinity, for all that I know is right and good and pure.

Yes. That says it just right.
