Just Be

Just be yourself. You are perfect just the way you are.

Do you ever stop what you are doing to watch the world around you? I mean really use all five senses to take in that very moment.

Sometimes, I like to just stop and feel a moment.

The mist before an incoming rain and the way it feels on my face. The coolness as it lands on my lashes and moistens my cheeks.

The warm rays of the sun on my skin on a hot summer day, feeling the heat of it as it tans my flesh.

I could go on and on about the moments that I feel.... what is the word?

Present! I engage in the moment by being present.

The feeling is total calmness. It's peaceful. This oneness with what exactly?

The answer is with me.

My mind is open to the beauty around me.

When the wind whips by I bask in the chaos instead of shielding myself.

When the sky is so blue and the sun burns hot, I dance in the rays to absorb the heat of it.

The smells of life and death on this Earth remind me I am alive!

The sounds of activity all day and night keep me company and I know that I'm never alone.

I feel the vibrations from Earth echo back in support as a response to the weight of the steps I take on my life's journey.

And these are the times, I feel the closest to my own Soul and the world around me.

These are the moments when things begin to make sense and forgiveness becomes important and a lightness fills my body, and the tensions and anxieties subsides.

I'm reminded in my heart that I will be okay. I have made it this far and when I glance behind me, I know that everything has happened the way it should.

I'm reminded that I am right where I am supposed to be.

I'm reminded, that if I trust myself, I will get where I am supposed go.

So, until I know where it is that I am supposed to be,

I will be right here, learning to Just Be.

Love, light and just being,
