Living...
Life is a precious gift.... what could be more exciting? It takes us each on a million journeys throughout the brief span of our existance... every second is a moment to be savored and enjoyed like a perfect cup of tea.... too many times we become too involved in the distractions and preocccupations that seem massive but in reality are quite insignificant when we realize we are simply a speck of existing dust in the endless vacuum of the universe..
rejoice....
however, by saying this .. I do not imply that life must be joyous, easy and fulfilling in order to be celebrated... every moment is a gift.. the exquisite loneliness of silence, the hardship of loss, grief, pain, failure, disappointment, ... the joy of discovery, the contentment of love, happiness, safety, warmth, community.... the feeling of drifting into the unknown and the hope of reaching out for safe harbor .. every second is a journey to be experienced..
rejoice in your moments.. if you are mad .. roar.. let the world hear and then continue on your path.... if you are sad.. shed those tears, let them fall like melting snow and when the moment has passed wipe them dry and continue on... if you're lonely ...reach out and find someone to share a laugh with ... if you are crowded... find a quiet corner for your soul.. smile at the rivers of rain, immerse yourself in the sensation of a breezy day as the wind envelops your skin in a caressive embrace... let the sunlight kiss your face ... break into dance, cry at a party, argue, get mad, accept pain, feel guilty, laugh until it hurts, be silly, jump into puddles... live life with a passion, with fire and emotions.. every second is moment to embrace .. take pride in your journey no matter how wonderful or painful the lessons are.. accept it for what it is.... live life...
