The truth is we all ache.
We all have growing pains
and wonder if we are
okay and enough and loved.
The thing is – we are.
Really.
Without the silver shoes
and leopard print sheets.
We are enough without
all the things we buy
to make us much more
than we are or need to be.
We are simple
and complex
and rare.
As is.

Stillness within one individual can affect society beyond measure.

To live lightheartedly but not recklessly;
to be gay without being boisterous;
to be courageous without being bold;
to show trust and cheerful resignationwithout fatalism
~ this is the art of living.

What Is the Purpose of Your Life?
The purpose of life is to know and experience complete joy. Each person uses different strategies to experience joy.
An artist feels joy painting all day.
A singer feels joy singing.
A dancer feels joy when dancing.
In these cases, painting, singing and dancing are strategies for experiencing and feeling joy. Be open and willing to learn and uncover what would bring joy to you, in all areas of your life.
Realize that every vibration you offer creates your future. Become more deliberate about what you are vibrating. Begin to make decisions based on how things make you feel. Soon you’ll be paying more attention to just how many negative feelings you are willing to tolerate. This is true self-care.
Identify what makes you feel good and do more of it.

Farewell and death
are only different descriptions
for a new beginning and life
All that you are leaving behind
you will find again – in different shape and form.
