Are you awake?

Staying awake

Something in me resonated with this article. The Himalayan moment. I felt that before, sometimes even during very mundane moments like realizing that I'm on a bus, realizing that the scent in the air is perceived through a very complicated process, realizing that the person I'm speaking with is... really a person.

And it's funny. Anyone who knows me knows that I often complain about people not really knowing about what they're talking about as they drift like zombies in the fashionable trends of thought and parroting the latest thing they heard. It often sounds like my gripe is that they're stupid. Not so, it's that they're asleep.

This article reminds me that even I am asleep. I don't have to think far to realize why it applies. Those mindless moments taking in junk on youtube, mindless moments getting angry over a person taking forever to tap in with their ez-link card... those asleep moments, spent unaware of what is happening, unaware that God exists

and that He is bringing all these things into existence.

Help me stay awake dear Lord.
