Christmas Eve Reverie

Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk.

It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park,

It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies

and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter.

Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself.

Find meaning or don’t find meaning but ‘steal’ some time and give it freely

and exclusively to your own self.

Opt for privacy and solitude.

That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world.

But you need to breathe.

And you need to ‘be.’

~Albert Camus

allowing the mystery of the season to unfold…

inquiry for today~ how do you define your life in this moment?

the wild mystery…

Take it slow today.

Don’t get caught up in all the noise.

Savour your day and these last moments

of the year.

Remember how brave you have been.

Open your beautiful eyes to the good

energy in the air.

Acknowledge how far you have come.

All you have endured.

Let your heart soften, let your lungs exhale.

You’ve achieved something beautiful.

Hug those that make your eyes sparkle

when you think of them.

Live in the magic darling,

don’t just believe in it.
