Grace in Small Things: Day Ten

1. Holding lightly.

Here's to loosening your grip. You don't risk crushing what you desire...and it's less strain on your fingers, too. Take some wisdom from The Mighty Ducks, "soft hands" in all things.

2. A very blue sky.

I'm sitting in the office right now, looking out at my awesome view, and the sky is the most beautiful robin's egg blue you've ever seen in your life. This is one of the reasons why I love England--it's an incredibly whimsical place. The juxtaposition is enchanting. The grey makes you appreciate the blue so much more.

3. U2 in my headphones.

Bono...I secretly love you. In a Little While, followed by Walk On, then Crazy, and of course Pride (In the Name of Love).

"In the name of love."

Absolutely, yes. Always yes.

4. Cleaning up my diet.

Less processed nastiness, more actual food; things made from life. Vegetables, and pasta, and rice, and wraps made out of spicy potatoes. The occasional piece of chicken. Dark chocolate too, of course, and lots of tea.

5. Abundance, and staying in its flow.

Life is a never ending river, the source of which is an eternal fountain that lives inside each of us. It never runs dry unless you decide it should...and even then it doesn't, you merely think it does. Change your thinking; change your life. It really is that simple.

(And other such poetic things.)
