I recently found to do this only takes submitting to the ‘in love’ state of existence. I’m not writing about finding that certain perfect someone who sweeps the rug out from under your feet and makes you feel like you never have before- blah, blah…
I’m talking about a love for everything in your path. I’m talking about a love and appreciation ; an acceptance, a hope, fascination, and focus for all of the proverbial little things. Lying down on a forest floor after a rain shower and listening to the drops of water hit and roll off the leaves. The smell of damp earth, a child’s cry, actually having gratitude for traffic-it can provide time to think. Stresses that remind you you’re valued and worth seeking out. Falling in love with dirty dog paws on a white shirt, a snotty clerk showing us all how not to be. Having compassion for history when you see a broken nose on an ancient sculpture. Laughing at yourself for addressing a past due bill to yourself. Turning away from breaking news to pull weeds. It’s what gives us feeling that also gives us the ability to become more loving, more joyous, more our authentic selves. The brilliance of innocence and beauty weaken fear.
The evil voices and deeds can’t penetrate this state. I’m having too much fun and receiving too much joy here. I think of all I don’t have and it empowers their fear. I express gratitude for all I am and all have been blessed with, (fears and scars included) and I am the empowered one.
As Taysha said months ago, “Have a crush on life.”
Thank you. I heard you. I’m infatuated with my path.
