We are unique in our awareness. No other being on earth can see the world like we see it. Nothing else can realize it’s place in the grandeur that is creation.
But this awareness is a choice. In every moment we have a choice between awareness and ignorance, between waking up and staying asleep.
I’m ignorant of many things. I’m trying to wake up. Not to be “woke” but to be “awake.”
There’s freedom in this choice. I will use my freedom to choose awareness, paying attention, and presence, here and now. I can’t afford the alternative, and neither can those I seek to serve.
