Gracious Spring

Joy is the feeling of warm sunshine touching my body
It’s the sight of friendly eyes smiling looking back at me
It’s the acknowledgement and the gratitude that a new day has begun
It’s the music of children’s voices at play outside my window
Joy is what’s free when I remember to seek it and discover it in and around me

Courage is taking action to decide today’s the day to bring change to my life
Awareness is the certainty that the energy in my decision making process
resonates and is welcomed by the universal energy that surrounds me
Allowing is the believing that I have and I can make the best decisions for myself
Adventure is moving forward no matter what changes these decisions bring me
Power is recognizing how my life’s getting better everyday because of my new actions

It’s glorious witnessing the vibrantly colored, fragrant flowers around me
feeling tiny flowers cushioning my every step as I walk, run, roam or play
in the meadow that was just recently covered with white crystal ice and snow
What a spectacular symphony of colors on bushes and trees, on ponds and in streams
Someone’s decision to change this landscape brings out the best in me
my Soul is happy and I feel free

Life is taking the complexity and the simplicity in all of this and more
It’s breathing it in and letting it breathe me
It’s giving myself, like nature itself, permission to decide, to create and to change
No matter the circumstance, the weather, the temperature, the landscape, like my life
it can and it will change because it’s time for new birth and a new season to begin
