Take a moment to touch the sky and see how far you get. Keep on stretching out and upward, and soon you will forget all sense of limitation, of time and space below. Soon you will be floating freely as a white cloud, pure and graceful as you go.

So much time is spent on details, trivial matters which hold no sway aeons down the track, at end of day. If we could just devote one minute everyday to higher ideals, broader concepts, and take self out of the way, this world, and all who live and breathe the air, would be far closer to the home we’ve dreamed of sharing in our deepest despair.

And one minute is all it takes, consciously applied, to surrender to the greater flow and all that is implied.

Don’t think for a moment that this ritual is unwise, for in that moment’s thought you could have amply completed the exercise and felt better for the demonstration of will rarely shown, comforted by the fact that you, indeed, have mastery of your throne.

Is your life so pressing? Are your desires and needs so strong? Is every second planned and scheduled, and rhythmic in its song? Or are there wasted pockets of time hidden here and there? I expect there are dozens of them awaiting fulfilment rare.

So free yourself from habits which do not serve you now. Bring yourself to a higher purpose, and selflessly indulge in a life of service where your talents can be utilised, where you will find peace and joy, and a new world so devised.
