“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention; Be astonished; Tell about it.” ~ MARY OLIVER
Dear Readers, Community, Friends,
The other evening, I saw the first of the fireflies dancing in the expanse of my backyard. So rhythmic, so enchanting. It struck me that one thing relative to another creates a very interesting perspective. I thought of “to what is my life like the few seconds of illumination of a firefly?” I saw the Earth looking at its tiny occupants (us), who believe we are so significant, but comparatively, live only a speck in Earth’s time.
I must say, though, that it lights a fire under me, making me ask as Mary Oliver did, “What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
It seems now is the perfect time to stop for a moment, reflect on all that has happened this past year, take stock of what we learned, and what opportunities for growth we have not yet actualized. But first, a compassionate pause. Utilize this quiet moment to create a new mindset to show up in the world so that you can bring your fullest self, your truest expression, and share it with our world.
You are what we need right now.
