To Wake Up

“When we become fixed in our perceptions, we lose our ability to fly.”― Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Joyful Wisdom

“Get yourself out of whatever cage you find yourself in.”― John Cage

A tilt, turn, new angle.
Pause, stillness, reset.
From autopilot to flying the plane.
Do something different.
A new way to the same place.
A greeting to a passerby.
A smile that makes people wonder.
Enthusiasm, optimism, energy despite the “facts.”
The extraordinary sewn in the ordinary.
May you learn something new each day.
Big sky.
Take flight.

“Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord.”― John Cage
