everything is already ok. stephen cope
it's ok.
look at what we've got going for us...
fresh green waxy leaves
flowers that smell so sweet you can taste it
eating well & feeling nutrition seeping into your cells
watching firemen race into buildings for others
cloudless blue skies
bright energizing early morning light
deep breaths of fresh cool air
sunlight that seems just as happy to see you
chubby baby fingers reaching from old fashioned prams
music that swells the heart "i believe in the miracle"
tangent: someone sent me an email that mentioned 'there is no soundtrack to life' and i wondered if they were deaf... i often pause & reflect on the soundtrack of my life - which is most lively. 2 birds sitting on the roof peak facing each other and chattering away this morning, their human-like mannerisms and head tilts making me laugh out loud. thunder. traffic. street musicians. the sound of my breath. (feel this very breath move. hear it. right now. marvel.)
life has truly become practice. remaining calm and patient. letting things unfold. trusting. surrendering. *big exhale* life is so much easier when i don't try to control every last detail. and the world keeps turning. sometimes it is as easy as deciding to change my mind.
"this is it."
last night, someone said someone had 'done it on purpose...' and my mind spiraled off. what a good thing! shouldnt we aim to do most things 'on purpose'? dont i want to live my whole life on purpose - or in keeping with my purpose? otherwise, what's the point?
live purposefully.
