The trees are dancing with delight and relief. Walking home yesterday I swear I could hear them singing. After days followed by months of no rain, they are drinking in the moisture, savouring the deep cleanse of all their leaves being rinsed free of dust and grit.
And I'm remembering also the importance of focusing in on my ways of being in the world, being with myself, being with others, casting back to see when was I aligned with my own spirit, living in full integrity, and choosing a path with heart.
I am remembering to stop and look at who I've been and what I've done, and to draw out the times that are good, the times I've more than measured up to the abundance of enough-ness.
But it's more than that, more than seeing, listing, cataloguing, the times and ways in which I've shown up, been my word, fulfilled my commitments AND my own expectations and dreams... I also want to take the time to really savour each one.
To set down the misgivings, the second-guessing, the doubts, the missed deadlines or forgotten tasks, to let all that fall away in a wash of self-forgiveness and release so I can really allow myself to feel the goodness, the satisfaction, the delight! of all that I've done, all I've been, all the living, breathing essence of soul expressed by me in this past week.
And then, inevitably… to love my living.
Because it is inevitable that when I take the time, and choose to be open-hearted,
after illuminating my own life, cherishing my own life,
I will then find myself
in a heart-dance of celebratory love for my own life.
Dancing with the trees, dancing with delight and relief.
