Can Lightness come to play today?
Laughter
Unguarded pleasure
Delight, contentment, bliss
The
feeling of body and mind totally immersed
in the pure joy of being.
Please stop. Right now.
Take a deep breath, and hold it.
Then let it out, feeling your energy flow from the top of your head
to the tips of your toes.
Relax your shoulders.
Soften your heart.
(Your heart is there, you know. Just waiting.)
Think of a time when you were happy, playful
Free from the heavy cares that you’ve shouldered so well
Remember from your childhood, last month, today – no matter!
See the scene, and feel it.
Let your body and mind enjoy.
Can you do it? Will you?
Deepen, deepen
aaahhh
Now hold that feeling.
Smile.
And walk into your world.
(Play!)
