responsibili-tea...

response.ability.

the ability to respond.

 

☀

As the Great Eastern Sun rises,

meet the day with a child-like spark.

Remember to feel and simply be present

to what is encountered throughout the day.

Then re-member that much of what

we encounter

is our own neuroses.

And laugh.

Work to become more aware of what blocks

the ability to be present and curious

so that the channel

to responses

of joy and enthusiasm remains

open...

 

But re-member there is no need to

take it all

so seriously...

Driving in an unfamiliar area with my love yesterday
I gave up my ability to respond with
curiosity and enthusiasm for this
new and exciting experience
to my unconscious 'responsibility'
as the co-pilot who knows
where to go
and the need to be right.

Apologize for unnecessary gruffness.

Then like the setting sun,
let the day go.

As with the breath
and each new dawn,
practice it all some more.
Have some fun.
...and savor the moments of
la joie de vivre!
