You may find yourself in a meditative frame of mind today, listening quietly for the wisdom of your higher self. Your contemplative mood could have you staring out into the distance to appreciate the beauty of your surroundings or looking at details as if they were a world in themselves. You may recognize metaphors for life in the thoughts that drift through your head in response to what catches your eye. Lessons may come to you from within as quickly as birds flying past or spiders making their webs. By treating life as a walking meditation today, you find wisdom in the connection of your inner and outer worlds.

There is much in the world to see and appreciate. It is easy to remove ourselves from thoughts of the work ahead of us or challenges that are yet to be solved by looking outward with our eyes as our thoughts search inwardly. At our most basic level, we are made of the same things as the world we see outside of ourselves. So when we watch nature and the laws of the universe at work outside of ourselves, we are seeing a reflection of what is happening within as well. We can listen to the whispers of the universe that are carried on the wind or hidden in the song of crickets. By following your desire to be contemplative today, you find that life can be a meditation and wisdom can be heard if you take time to listen.
