The Parade of Life

God said:

How simple life is when you do not get caught up in the details!

How simple life is when you move through the sheaves of wheat! The path you leave is quickly erased.

How simple is life when your intention is to enjoy rather than analyze!

How simple is life when you don't keep track of it, but pass right through it!

Every day is like a walk to a new horizon. Keep walking.

Must life be placed so carefully? Must you know at every turn what you are supposed to do? Is it necessary to make a list ahead of time?

You can walk through life without a map. In fact, that is how it is. Whether you walk through plain or forest, there is no foretelling. Then there is also no need to sum up. Your life is not a summation. There is not a great oration going on with your life. You do not have to make an account of it.

You are passing through life. And you make it worthwhile for you and everyone else. All your to-do lists are not the record of your life. What you have accomplished or not accomplished is irrelevant. What is relevant is that you are a light passing through life.

So what if you stumble? You pick yourself up and keep going.

So much of Human life is consumed with details. Become more consumed with life itself. There is a big picture, and you are part of it. Details fall off, but life is not its details.

While you are here on earth, you plant gardens and you invent things. You make the best of it, this physical plane that is but an expression of your life of spirit.

When your attention is absorbed solely on the earth plane, you falter and life seems pointless, for day in and day out you perform certain rituals only to repeat them the next and the next. Hold your attention higher, and heighten all areas of your day to day life.

All the physical plane is movement. One repeated activity after another. Yet the maintenance of life points you to Heaven.

Even the simple act of washing a floor is service to God. Do not grumble about it. Whatever you do in life, whatever you go through, it is your service to Me.

And yet the importance of your life is not in what you do. You make motions in life, and through it all, you leave tokens along the way that spark the hearts of those who accompany you, or who, like people lined up at the side of a parade, watch you pass by. They want to applaud your passage. So what if it is only a costumed parade.

Imagine your life as a parade marching straight to Heaven. Know that your life is the entrance to Heaven. That is what you are doing on earth. You are marching right up to Heaven. All the pomp and circumstance and costume does not take away where you are marching to.

Often you have said: Life must be more than this.

I am telling you that life is more than this. Life is more than all the earth stuff. The purpose of life is surely more than the running around you do in it.

A parade is an ensemble of parts. The parts play a role, but the parts are not the parade. The parade has a wholeness that stirs hearts.

Each marcher in the parade is much more than any costume or any missing of the beat. Each marcher is wholeness marching to Me.
