I open my eyes and
See a vast space filled with trees
And flowers
And birds
And sky

And I marvel at the knowing that
I always had
And have
this ability
To penetrate ✨this very✨ moment
And inhabit it fully

To love in this space
To mourn in this space
To Live in this space

And so
I feel the warm breeze envelope my skin
I let the vibration of birdsong ripple and reverberate through my body
I let my eyes devour the bright green that is everywhere and
I inhale the scent of sweet honeysuckle that hangs heavy in the summery air

I open up fully to the increasing Light
And the longest Day of the year

And I slowly allow the bliss that I feel
In this most magnificent of seasons

While also noticing how my mind fears enjoying anything too much
Despairing that it won’t last

And I reconfigure my focus
And step back again
Viewing it all as my Self

This part that craves experiencing everything
Including the darkest, coldest, most melancholy day
This part of me that leaps to make contact with Life’s biggest challenges
Knowing that there’s deep richness and meaning and aliveness in meeting them

In these things that my mind tries to push away
And

✨I✨ take in all that’s before me
In this most bountiful
Hot
Bright
Grounded
Potent
Magical season

I let it fill me up
Energizing my desire

To live wide open as a body of Love 🔥🌺🌳🙌🏻❤️🦅⚡️
