Point at beauty.
Embrace mystery.
Dance with paradox.
Rest inbetween bursts.
Curate unlikely friendships.
Craft.
Enjoy.
Be.

Pause by the orchid. Listen to the bluebird sing. Be love.

The question…
…at the end of a life, a day, a career, a meal, a vacation, a conversation, or a moment is always ‘Was it beautiful?’
We may ask it in various forms…’Was it good? Was it bad? Was it right? Was it wrong? Was it worthwhile? Was it a wast of time?’
But the question underneath all of these questions is one that’s about beauty.
We all want beauty in, over, and on our days.
But, remember, beauty starts with be.
Let’s start here BEfore we move our focus to doing and having.
How to tune a heart.
The heart tunes when we begin letting go to what isn’t and start clinging to what actually is.
Fear isn’t much more than an accuser and a thief. Hence the constant trial and robbery we feel when we can’t let go. All the while, Love is the fuel and the engine, the river and the ocean, and the song and the dance of reality’s gorgeous storyline. Hence the cosmic connnection to all things when we’re dialed into and clinging to this Love.
The heart tunes with a surrender to the moment…
…and when the ego lays down…
…and when joy is the thread we choose to weave the blankets of our lives with.
Tune the heart.
Warm the soul.
Sing thy grace.
