Practice Joy!
I’m in over my head, she said, slumping down in her chair, stern
faced, tired, heavy, lonely, lost All this too familiar,
tired of being tired
Wake up! Life is joyful.... and sad.....and full of life
Be free
Yawn and sing at the same time
Howl in your living room and sing in the street
Look at your life and all that you have- find peace
in what you have rather than despair in what you don’t
Change your mind
Go sit atop a mountain with a little boy whom you love and be with him there
Admire the sky, your neighbors’ kindness, the marigold in the garden, the fresh leaves of purple green kale, the lilac bush you and your mother planted together, the shelves you and your father made together, all this space!
....all your freedom to decide your path...
Free as the wind
Remember your magic, and the way the stuffed animals come alive at night when you’re not awake, the life in everything!
Two beautiful little girls that yell your name and HI! from across the street
Be kind, love, to yourself
Enjoy your body
Move
Take a chance
Notice.... the end of the world already happened.....
Be free to practice joy
