Can you share a personal experience where you felt that the "morning is a symphony?" Every time I am outdoors in Nature, morning or evening, it is a symphony.
How do we grow in awareness of the novelty of each day? If we are truly in the present, we become a part of flow of love and life in creation. There will be nothing ‘mundane’ in life-creation. Everything we do, including common tasks, will be a source of happiness and a creative expression.
What does "All the delicious fruit and magnificent flowers belong to you. Accept them." mean to you, in terms of "you" and "belong"? All of life including unpleasant surprises can be accepted as an opportunity to see our strengths and weaknesses, and to grow in love, compassion and awareness.
How does this belonging relate to things that "belong" to us in our everyday sense of ownership? If we are ego-centered, our pain and our happiness belong to us in a lonely fight for happiness and survival. When everyone’s pain and happiness belong to us, we become our environment and a part of life-force in creation. Personal pains become less significant.
