A Vacation or a Holiday



Time for a real holiday?

excerpt

A holiday, then, in its purest sense, might be seen as a devoted commitment to taking something beautiful and true from the ordinary; whereas a vacation might be considered an escape from the ordinary.


Look! Did you see the blazing salmon colors dawning over the curve of the hill? Did you sense the quiet perfection in the still air of morning? Did you notice the kind smile of the person sitting next to you on the train? Did you hear the music, the vital beat and pulse of the traffic in the street?

But what about the day-to-day stuff? The mundane, relentlessly difficult tasks from which you believe you need to escape? Why not embrace your bill-paying with a continual awareness of abundance? Change the flat tire with the energy and joy ... Pick up your groceries with a renewed sense of the nurturing, nourishing care of divine Love?
