How is it this cut flower, detached from its roots, has the capacity to re-grow itself, to expand in a new form, and when it seems to be at the end of its existence is capable of new life?
Resilience.

I keep joy by my bedside
Nestled in shells that sing the song of freedom
And the flickering light of grace in my heart
To remind me that I am love
To remind me that all is love.

That doesn’t mean we all have to be the same, but we all hear and see each other as the valuable contributions that complete our circle.
Never stop believing in the goodness of others.

The pain weighs so heavy on my body,
Pressing deep into my chest,
Down into my bones,
Constricting every drop of my being.
Yet, the breath still flows
Light and free.
There is courage, hope, relief
As I recall that the pain is just a part of me.
No matter how sad, or mad, or defeated I want to feel,
The pain can never be bigger than me
Because the pain is just a part of me.

I am on the verge,
the verge of wondrous things or perhaps tremendous calamity.
It really makes no difference. The precipice is the same, the grander just the same.
There is beauty in it all,
Grace in it all,
Peace in it all,
Because all is love.
All is love.
I am whole.
I am complete.
I am not waiting for anything.
I am aware of all that is going on inside and all around me.
There is choice at the base of my every action.
I am powerful and free.
I am responsible.
I am response-ABLE.

Body still.
Mind tethered to the breath.
Ahhh…the sweet taste of peace in my heart.
Emotions flow through me like water, gaining strength as they course through tight spaces and beautifully still as they spread out in a pool in my heart.
Caringly and softly I tend all the banks of the rivers, making room for these waters to flow.
When the rivers run smoothly, without blocks or dams, I am generous in attitude and actions.
Even when the water appears dark and unclear, as long as I pay it attention the flow is steady and calm as emotions fill and empty my heart.
Think with your heart. Have faith in your instincts. Place yourself in unfamiliar positions and you just might find you are more comfortable and happier than you ever imagined you could be.
