Every second, there are a trillion beautiful things going on around us. literally right in front of our faces. I haven't bothered to count all the things going on behind us, under us, or obscured from our view. Neither have I bothered to count the things going on over the far lands, seas, skies, etc, etc, etc.
[someone/anyone could give you a gift. but if you did not realize that they gave you a gift, then it wouldn't be a gift to you. In this same way, existence is exposing you to a trillion beautiful things specifically for you, but if you don't see them...]
If you are able to see one truly beautiful thing every five minutes, you are doing very well. Of course, you are seeing many more than that. In fact, you are seeing all trillion. So what keeps us from being conscious of the immense cavalcade of beauty all around us? our head space. our awareness. our ability to separate our own bullshit, from the world around us.
It is helpful to remember the trillion things, even when we are feeling especially good, because there are so many beautiful things, we should pay respect to them, by remaining ever aware of them, and their each unique, special gift to us. when we are off our game, and we can at least remember the trillion things, then we must look to see them. a human being, is not just a person, but a living breathing, feeling, thinking repository of everything that makes a human. with trillions, upon trillions of experiences. surely, at least one of the trillion things.
Even if all we can do is acknowledge the beauty. even if we can not experience the beauty, then we have avoided missing. Open your eyes. see. feel. hear. think. we are being bombarded with beauty, possibility, opportunity, love and most notably, life, incessantly, every moment of our experience.
If we are able to become aware of at least one beautiful thing every five minutes, then we are doing very, very well.
one trillion seconds equals 31,546 years
