This morning I cleared my mind and took a long look at the sunflower on the porch. This photo was taken before a trip we took during which watering was neglected. When we returned, I noticed the sunflower was dying. I watered it, and lo and behold, it revived, flower and all.

This morning my attention went to the leaves, how they turn outward to receive the light. This sunflower reminded me of the power of expecting beneficence. Even though it had been neglected, it responded to the watering and it kept reaching toward the light.

Today I will aim to hold this attitude of expecting beneficence and see what unfolds.
