Happiness 4-19
staying fully in the present
staying fully in the present
traveling a great distance to arrive at the house of belonging
gazing into the mirror while being completely quiet and still.
the long, delightful story of the girl and the rock
heading straight for the hill without knowing why
finding your own door into your beautiful mind
foraging for moldavite and huge wild ferns deep in the forest
the surprise you feel when you find your magic hat
tiptoeing over the bridge so nothing hiding underneath will hear you cross
a conversation with spring
cheerfully finding shelter from spring snow showers
that great time of complete stillness
treading lightly on the great windows of experience
showing how to still calmly graze on the very edge of imminent peril
working on the last part of the story
the road rising to meet you – the wind at your back.
the thrill of becoming a fissure and releasing all the dark.
framing your ideas so other people can picture them.
pausing outside the door with your back leaning on it and then looking for a way in.
remembering when the ocean we were crossing became a sea of pearls
scrying with an old lamp post one spring afternoon
so many different stories behind each one.
