Sky Dome

Ever so gently, the capsule makes its way up the pillar to a majestic height. Quieted people fill with awe. 

The ride is peaceful. The view is breathtaking. 

There is no greater panorama of the park. This is mindfulness.

 Like the eye of a hurricane, the dome holds its center while the park whirls with frantic flurry and excitement. 

Our lives are like an amusement park. 

We juggle so many twists and turns, highs and lows that we need to slow down now and then to find our center. 

Stop. Raise your thoughts to a higher perspective. Reflect. Restore the calm that is within you. 

You have a choice in how you handle all the craziness of the world. 

You can get caught up in the whirlwind of feelings and emotions 

or be an active observer of all that is going on around you. 

Go ahead.  Get out there and play.   Just remember the serenity at your core.  (S. Finelli)
