Ear-Flipping, Grass Stain Kind of Day

“Forever is composed of nows.” – Emily Dickinson

“Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let’s not be afraid to receive each day’s surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity.” – Henri Nouwen

Lay your thinking down

Give your opinions and assumptions a day off

Enter today with fresh eyes

Free from resistance and rules

Renew, refresh, rewire

Heart over head

Being over doing

Open, listening and aligned in now

No yesterday, no tomorrow, today alone

Go off trail and explore

Anchored in gratitude and awareness in the fullness of each moment

Extraordinary in the ordinary

May you have an ear-flipping, grass stain on the forehead kind of day

“We will be more successful in all our endeavors if we can let go of the habit of running all the time, and take little pauses to relax and re-center ourselves. And we’ll also have a lot more joy in living.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
