SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: How do you relate to wide open spaces in your life? Can you share a personal story of a time a wide open space helped you turn your gaze from the micro-dramas of life to the larger rhythms of the cosmos? What helps you remember to be cast open so that the whole cosmos is reflected within?

Any Heavenward reflection takes me to the wide open spaces you speak of. The world consumes me. Needs of all around me consume me and keep me buried in "doing and being" in the various roles I find myself. God keeps me focused on my "larger family" ... the bigger picture ... From His perspective! For this, I am most thankful! Everything takes on a whole new "look" and freedom . Diving in to His deep is a true adventure! Amen.
When I walk my dogs each morning, I try to remember to look up and see the vastness above me -- the sky being warmed by the sun, the hills. This helps cleanse my mind of the thousand thoughts that pull me out of the moment. When I breathe in the cool morning and exhale my thoughts releasing them to the universe, I start opening my heart. Sometimes, it opens big enough to embrace the whole of life. This is my daily practice.
What a nice reading today and I couldn't agree more. I love wide open spaces, they call to me and I take notice... On this St. Valentine's Day morning, I walked out my front door, which faces east and witnessed a glorious red sunrise and thanked God for the beautiful gift. I called my sweetie to witness it with me and he agreed.
I love the wide open spaces. I just came in from outside looking at the enormous starless sky with a giant full moon -- I felt awe and gratitude. I spontaneously thanked God. I remember being in Montana a year or so ago and looking out over an enormous terrain and a big sky that seemed endless (and maybe is), and again felt awe. In both situations, I forgot about the microdramas of life and appreciated the cosmos and my being part of it. I felt alive and had a sense of being part of a huge interconnected miracle. I breathed deep and took it in and didn't want the moment to end. For me, it was a spiritual moment beyond space and time. Those kind of glorious experiences of taking in and feeling part of a miraculous cosmos help me remember to be open to more such glorious moments.
