Why Shouldn’t We?

“Why shouldn’t we, so generally addicted to the gigantic, at last have some small works of art, some short poems, short pieces of music […], some intimate, low-voiced, and delicate things in our mostly huge and roaring, glaring world?”― Elizabeth Bishop

“Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?” – Caroline Myss

The day calls.
To not only get thing done.
But to discovery of what lies before us.
Pausing to notice.
Loving without expectation.
Wonder in awareness of beauty.
A song. A poem. A flower.
Fullness in the ordinary, simple and imperfect now.
Awe in possibilities overflowing.
Expand your thinking, open your heart and hope with great abandon.
Bask in details.
Delight in immensity.
Start where you are this moment and move out from there.
See what happens when we look with fresh eyes, awakened senses.
Why shouldn’t we?

“Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.”― Caroline Myss
