For Granted

As humans we seem to be designed to take things for granted, or as granted. We take our lives and our breath as if it had to happen this way. As if our most recent breath HAD to come. Every breath is a gift. Don't assume things are going to always be as they are, the time for gratitude is now. The greatest block to gratitude is taking things that are miraculous for granted. Like how miraculous it is that you were given a human birth, or that you can see and hear. Or how miraculous it is that earth is a living planet in the universe. Stay with the mystical so that you can see through the mundane illusions and reside in the grounded peace that comes with surrender and gratitude.
