There is sanctuary to be found
in the words
of great writers and
poets,
painters of dreams
and wishers of
wishes
There is buoyancy too
in loving others as well as we do
ourselves
(and vice versa, of course)
in loving the world so well
as we do
our own opinions
in immersing ourselves
in the
assuredness
that the world loves us too
despite our reckless behaviours
There is sanctity to be found
in the blessing of friendship
in the depth of
kind expression, and the simple touch
of appreciation
There is wonder to be found
in the starlight
in a snowfall and in the dawn of each new day
as it
opens
There is always gratitude to be found
in being here, in sharing
this
and amongst it all
in being peace
no matter what it is
or even
where it is
you happen to be celebrating
(or not)
take a breath
ground yourself in the love
that surrounds you
and then make your way
in this new world
as though
you had never been here
before
stay open
for the loving ones
… and maybe, feed the birds ♥
