Whether the Universe creates the nook or you carve it out yourself, climb in, cuddle up with peace and joy, and let everything else go.

There is always a silver lining. It may be thin and barely visible, but it’s there, hugging the darkness, giving it form, and offering the portal, the transition from darkness to light.  It’s always there. It just may take a little more effort to find it sometimes.

When you look out the car window do you see what is to come, what you have passed, or what is there right now?  When you look in the rearview mirror, do you see what is behind you or is it right there with you?  Can you meet yourself in the space between the past and future, your experiences all merging seamlessly to create the landscape that is this present moment? Are you aimlessly passing by each moment or are you actively immersed in the experience?

See it, feel it, live it…every moment.

Today, we remember those who have given selflessly, who bravely share love and kindness at times when it would be easier to walk away or simply keep to themselves. Today, we celebrate the unexpected smile, the hand out reached, the spirit of peace in those who give of themselves for others.

Be in awe.  Let your jaw drop, your breath leap, your heart skip a beat, and your mind scamper…feel the joy of discovery, of being part of something bigger, of not having all the answers, and knowing that’s OK. In fact, it’s actually awesome.
