I felt such abundance this morning. I know its cliché but it’s the little things that matter. The relationship with your dog, and being present enough to see the unconditional love being expressed from him right in front of your eyes, always. A love that never stops giving. How you enjoy listening to peaceful and hippy hoppy music while you chop your veggies for morning breakfast, while talking to your daughter about the about the wild dreams you had of being a massive tomato that was prepping for the board of investors meeting. The amount of laughter, imagination, and creativity you have with your girls before you’ve even had a chance to get yourself dressed for the day. Being silly and busting out your dad dance moves that will be embarrassing to witness later. The taste of delicious coffee, just the way you like it. The way you love how your wife’s hair just flows so beautifully and gracefully without any effort. Being able to slow down the clock, and have a deep philosophical discussions about the beauty and grace in the song you’re both listening to. All while blissfully enjoying the fact that your daughter is wearing roller skates and a helmet at the breakfast table putting up a pretty rational (yet hilarious) case for why she should be allowed to wear them 24/7/365.
Its being able to walk to the office, look up at the sky and see the planes of people, just like you, facing their own similar knowing that the important things are always right in front of us. Its knowing that the people in front of you at the coffee shop are beautiful, just like you, inside and out, having the same conversations with their soul as you are. Its having the freedom to express and feel deeply the love, gratitude, abundance and presence that is possible in your life. Its about wondering how you can articulate to others the deep levels of peace, love and tranquility that is within, but knowing that words just aren’t enough to even come close, and being ok with that. Its recognizing that the artists, song writers, philosophers that you love faced these same questions, and expressed the love, joy and abundance that they thought possible in the world. Its recognizing that all of this beauty love and grace is always and already within you, and does not need to be expressed outwardly or sought externally to receive it fully. Its ALL WITHIN YOU…ALWAYS.
