Anusara Moment: Does it get any better?

Does it get any better than this?
When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt back your head
and laugh at the sky.

Happy Dog

Bill and I have been reading the “Chet and Bernie” mysteries. Chet, a mixed breed dog who failed police training, narrates his life with Bernie, the hapless and occasionally brilliant detective. While Bernie bumbles through relationships and jobs, Chet savors every moment, finding intense pleasure in anything. From riding shotgun in the car, to finding a french fry under the dining room table, to leaping through the air and tackling a perpetrator. His favorite expression is, “Does it get any better than this?

Taking a cue from Chet, Bill and I look for as many uses of that expression a day as possible.Does it get any better than fresh local blueberries for breakfast? A crescent summer moon in the west? A heart opening back bend? A chore accomplished?

I think that’s what enlightenment is – experiencing the best in any circumstances. Because every moment holds the incredible power, momentum and goodness of the pulsing Universal.

Is it that simple? Chet would think so!
