Sunday evening thoughts....... I had a dear friend pass away this past October. A while ago her mother sent me some pics of her daughter and I taken during her last few weeks of life. While these pics brought many emotions it also made me introspective. Death has a way of leveling the playing field. So my thoughts became centered on todays church service which focused on the life reset button. Those who were there will fully understand this brief writing. So, while facing my tiny existence can be depressing, it’s also liberating. I mean, I worry and stress and sometimes try to control almost everything. And it really doesn’t matter. All those big life shaking things and the very small stupid things are all really just can’t always control life things. There’s freedom in accepting that chaos, your world expands. You get to hop on the ride, and give it your best, but you don’t get to control every single moment. You get to breathe, and stretch, and eat Mexican apple pie with a bestie, but you are not Master of The Universe. You are just you, right now, living in the present. And that is plenty. That is enough. The present is big, and intense, and now. It’s vibrant. It’s colorful. We just need to show up and look around.......and bring big love. We can let go of the clenched jaw and short breathes and inhale all the way down. Being present is uncomfortable and I’m very out of practice at the moment, but it’s still the right kind of good. Being alive is a feat in and of itself. So, how’s that for eighteen days into 2015? PEACE!!
