| Ocean Beach, Whangarei Heads, Northland, New Zealand |
We have been up North again looking for a block of land to
create a retreat centre. Thanks to Greg and his beautiful cottage at Parua Bay
we had a tranquil place to return to at the end of the day.
There is some beautiful country around the Whangarei Heads.
Climbing up the cliffs at Ocean Beach on a clear day we were treated to
something awe inspiring. A deep swell was rolling in against the rough hewn
black rocks. From our feet to the horizon lay a tone poem – at least seven
shades of blue on green, while heat clouds massed behind us, banking blue-grey
across the bush covered hills.
Sometimes in our daily routine it is hard to find a moment
to stop and appreciate how rich life really is. It takes a shift in our point
of view to see the good things all around us. Yet those momentsof gratitude
support our life. By placing our attention on what we appreciate we attract
more good things to us. This is a Universal Law at work and is found expressed
in all religions world wide. He who expresses gratitude for what he has, be it
money, love, health or whatever, he will attract to himself more of it. What
you put your attention on grows in other words. So if we ignore our good,
complain often about lack of time, or money, we will certainly attract more of
that too.
Sitting up on the cliff surrounded by such incredible beauty
I was reminded to count my blessings.
What do you appreciate in your life right now?
