Finding God in hiccups

Tonight I held a baby. And he had the hiccups.

While I watched his face and saw his lungs rise and fall beneath the mountainous blanket he wore, his body would flinch with each tiny "hic."

As I stood in my living room, I realized that the life and breath inside him was the same life and breath inside myself. Every breath and all life - big and small, infant and elderly, hiccup and cough - comes from the same place: God.

When you hiccup, or the person around you, or the baby you happen to be holding, remember that God can be found even there, in every "hic."

this is what happens when I give the internet a facelift.

Welcome to the internet.

This is my corner.  Or at least one of them.

And this is what you can expect from here on out.  No more wordpress (at least for my own personal blog).  No more billion new themes.  No more complexity.

Welcome to simplicity.

Looking for Project 2010 blog posts?  This is the place.  Looking for Whatever You Do blog posts?  Yep, they're here too.  Along with all of my Occasional Thoughts that you've come to know and love.

But this downsizing isn't the only facelift I've given the world wide web.  Check out the latest updates to Simply Creative, Project 2010, and Whatever You Do.

Internet, you're looking good.

Stop and Breathe -- one minute of silence

Breathe in.  And become aware of the in-breath.
Breathe out.  And become aware of the out-breath.

Always with me.  
Always happening.

My awareness does not cause it.  But my awareness allows me to be present with it, to enjoy it, to recognize every breath and every moment as a gift.

Breathe in and know that I am breathing in.
Breathe out and know that I am breathing out.
