I’m reminding myself.
I’m reminding you, if you want it.
I’m filling my heart, even more, with light and love.
Today was a tough body day. When I don’t sleep well enough, which is more often than I like, it’s a tough body day. And brain day. And emotion day.
But I am actively caring for myself, being gentle with myself, and filling my heart with light and love.
Sometimes I find this light and love in the world around me. My yellow birds. The green leaves against the sky as I rock in my hammock. The flowers I pass by as I walk to town.
Sometimes I find this light and love with and from those around me. It sometimes takes a wee bit of active noticing, of lowered expectations and highered appreciation, of boundaries and openness.
Sometimes I find this light and love within me. Deep within me. I have worked and played to cast out the self-revulsion that was carved into me when I was a child, and I am left with beauty and sweetness. I’ve come to realize that is the original core of all of us, myself included.
There is joy to be found when I stop and notice it.
There is soothing to be found when I look for it and bask in it.
There are light and love to be found when I pay attention and I let them soak in.
I’m filling my heart with light and love.
How about you?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, and please share this post with others if it resonates with you!
