Value
Topic: Shifting Perception to Acknowledging Value

The Story:
First she was a blur out of the corner of my eye. As I sat out on the bench I
thought my eyes were deceiving me, but I caught this big blur hopping over the
fence. Did I see what I thought I saw? Was that a Turkey?
A day or two later there were mysterious foot prints around the yard, and yes a
couple of brown mushy surprises left behind. Am I crazy? Is there a wild turkey
hanging around?
My gypsy life has brought me to an elongated temporary stop at my parents, who
live in a tucked off the road, typical suburban neighborhood, with pockets of
pine trees that unfortunately, small as they are, are called “the woods”.
Small as these woods are they seem to be able to support a dwindling animal
population. It is pretty rare to see anything emerge from the woods other than a
stray piece of garbage blowing on the breeze. Sad, but true.
After some consulting with my Step-Dad about the question of my sanity, he
confirmed he had caught a glimpse of the roast beast himself.
A day or two after that she began to make her presence more known and showed up
on the back deck for us to “ooooo” and “ahhhh” over. She was quite beautiful.
Big, perched up on the railing. Her feathers shined like silk with an artist’s
stroke of color in her wings.
We all stood there gawking at her through the sliding glass door, marveling at
this incredible freak of nature being exhibited in suburban life. Watching her
wink and flutter her eyes at us, acknowledging our presence and letting us know
she knew we were admiring her beauty, and she was just being her.
Then it began…I couldn’t help it. I tried to stop them, but that oh so human
part of me (good ole ego) started running the images. Dare I say “Butterball”.
My brain was flashing images of frozen thawing turkeys. No gorgeous feathers,
headless, no strong feet to perch with, no black eyes batting lashed lids.
My mind kept trying to compute, integrate, find a way to make it all ok. It kept
going back and forth between memories of the Thanksgiving table and this lively
creature before me. This creature I am marveling at, because it is so out of the
ordinary in this environment, is the same creature that ends up on the American
table.
That was a shift of perception. Something you take for what it is, served up
nice and brown roasted, suddenly becomes alive in your mind for its value, a
creature of God, a citizen of nature’s community. It may sound cliché but true,
I will never look at a turkey on the table the same.
Sometimes it takes a shift in perception to be able to appreciate the true value
of what is.
Simple Spirituality: How Much Value are You
Sucking In?
As a soul, your main goal is to expand your emotional, mental, spiritual and
physical consciousness, collect experiences, and contribute to the whole.
You are a vacuum collecting as much dirt as will fit in your expanding dirt
bag.The point of collecting the dirt though is to honor its value to you.
The main purpose of a vacuum is fulfilled when it sucks up everything off the
floor.When you are focused on your fulfilling your purpose of sucking in life,
your soul feels good.
When you take the moment to appreciate sucking it in, you are acknowledging the
value.
A vacuum cleaner is not picky about its dirt. It acknowledges it all, and sucks
it all in.You are greater than that.
With your mind and emotion’s you have the ability to sift through your dirt and
find the diamond earrings that fell on the floor and got pushed under the couch.
With your mind you have the opportunity to appreciate the nuances of your
experience and acknowledge the value, as you stuff it into your dirt bag.
That’s if you can get past the dirt your mind sees.
That tiny piece of crumbled up tinfoil your mind sees on the floor ready to suck
up into its dirt bag, is actually, upon closer inspection, is what your soul
recognizes as the lost valuable diamond earring.
