What is it that makes us alive?
willowinthewind
We are alive. But what if we were FULLY alive? Yesss, that's what I wanna be!!
Not scuttling about half dead, half awake, grumbling, fearing, worrying, shut down, skeered of what-might-be (not that I haven't ever been there, ooooh boy, the stories I could tell). But I am getting better and better, sharper, keener, focused on having an increased ability to realign, rebalance, go with the flow.
Something keeps singing to me, you know?, from down there behind my senses---from this vast place of peace and wellbeing and knowing.
I remind myself now and then (ok ok ok, maybe like constantly) that all it takes to find that Place is to slow down for a moment forpetesake, be quiet, be still.... Quiet that chattering mind that hounds me to distraction with things that needtobedone like Right Now! But when I am still, breathe deeply, fall back behind those poor overloaded-overcharged-overworked senses, fall into this enormous expanse that so feels so loving...up it bubbles surges: a wild joyous sense of being fully alive!
Fully alive in the Now. Yes. I wish to hang out in The Now, a perspective from which I can look out and see enormous beauty and kindness: in nature, in you, in us. Where luminous promise of all that is Good and possible sings to me, calls to me.
How grateful, how filled with joy I am to have found my way to Gaia, and you. We are so in this together. Peace. Joy. Deep bows.

OMG! OMG!! No more cartwheels, I am like levitating with joy. Feeling good???? What a gorgeous gorgeous song and dance you've just led me through. WOW!!!!!! I am soooo on my way over to your blog. GOTTA HEAR IT AGAIN. Yeeeeeoooooowwwwwwww.

my friend (the loveliest twenty-something you ever met) showed up for yoga today and then we had breakfast and I dragged her over to see the whole blog and all the comments. I'll drag them all into the gaia world sooner or later. :-) we were dancing around the kitchen and my new roommate (old dear friend) and dogs too. too bad we didn't have quite enough room in here for cartwheels.
I'm going to do a bunch of handstands again this afternoon! it makes me all optimistic and energetic. :-) but first I think I'll take a wee nap. :-)
loads of joy here!
big love
See what you have gone and done!
You have spread your energy all over Gaia.
There should be a warning on your site….Joyous Jeannie energy is very contagious! Enter at your own risk (and only if you have room for cartwheels in your kitchen)
Bless you sweet thing!
Joy, Cartwheels, Handstands and Dancing in the Now!
Gotta Love it! :-D
Soooo glad you've found your way to Gaia with us all!
Love Youuuu~~<3
OMG.! OMG. !! I bow to you and humble myself in reverence… awakening our every senses to the possibilities of the Magic that lies within us when we are still, if for only a moment…not fragmenting ourselves….putting behind the burdens of the past which we cannot change, nor worrying about the future which does not exist… only in the quiet present moment can we fully experience total Oneness… immersing ourselves in the beauty of feeling fully alive…an ever expanding bubble of joy…an overflowing fountain of love… Yes! Yes! Yes! Here in this moment I am FULLY alive… My heart is singing songs of praise…gratitude… and love for you !!!
