Forceful Graces and Tender Mercies

It's astounding how often we take for granted the little blessings right in front of our faces. We're all prone to forgetting how amazingly awesome even our own existence truly is. We get lost in our day to day obligations that we neglect realizing their inherent connection to our liberation. We constantly think we need more time or help or to lower our expectations because we never seem to be able to do enough. But every effort, every selfless act fulfills it's own duty. Everytime we forget ourselves and do something, anything, in spite of our Self, we're tapping into the same divine creative forces that make flowers both powerful and fragile, animals both perfectly natural and bizarre. It is our uniqueness and variety that makes us powerful, and our selfless inspiration of such in others that perpetuates our power. So we're only as powerful as we can distinctly harness the power of others to promote innovation and evolution. There is only limited power in our own unique abilities, but together we flourish! Just as flowers risk their own well being passively in defense, so we too adapt most readily when we leave our egos behind, sacrificing everything we may hold dear here and now for an imagined brighter future, within and without us.
