Start from Scratch

My Cup

Deep pools of gratitude 

sustain my joy 

buoy me up in times of need 

and 

relieve the ail of doubt 

the weight pressed upon my shoulders becomes lifted 

I exhale and

I realize 

that

 I am 

floating. 

        I am completely convinced that we are blessed beyond measure and that we are given many, many opportunities to be able to grow our talents and to strengthen and build our spirits that long to BE great, but when fear and doubt thread themselves into our fibers, we take these moments for granted and never see the opportunities in them. I have decided to seek out the opportunities within all of my experiences, which include the good and the bad. Who can I become from what is occurring in this very moment? This inquiry helps me enter a place of curiosity and creativity, my play place. Since I have taken on this perspective, I feel a deep sense of relief and I can breathe. There is no hurry in figuring out the answer, sometimes I have to start over, which can be frustrating. I do it so that I can always remember my purpose. Life can feel menacing and chaotic when we place a timeline or any kind of restriction on creativity and discovery, but truly the essence of life is finding a place where you can  create and discovery by floating effortlessly and by simply breathing and being you. Higher ground is where we need to be to escape the daunting reality of what we face. The sense of being grounded always seems a bit heavy, limiting and chesty, that's why you don't want to be there. I don't want to be there; therefore, I exhale,let it go and find myself floating.
