The defeatist, the cynic, the critic, AND…

Different voices within… the defeatist, the cynic, the critic… AND there’s also the child of wonder… who says “Let’s laugh and sprinkle light!”

Everyday I trip over myself… trying to clear obstacles inside that are trying to keep me safe, not taking risks, tucked in a shell, a bunker… waiting out the storm.

Missing feeling rain on my face. Missing wind on my skin. Missing the exhale of seeing sky on the other side of storm clouds.

Everyday I remind myself that we are here to bring light. Each in our own wonderfully unique ways. Channels of light. It’s a simple and profound reminder. And a call to action. Tiny little actions that can change your day and often someone else’s.

The defeatist, the cynic, the critic… they don’t go away, AND I’ve learned I can tip my hat to them on my way out to play.

It’s worth trying. It can feel rebellious… to not let seriousness win, pausing to smile, to spread light. To let your heart fill with love and let joy in.

In the depth of winter, may you find and share what always shines, the light within.

Peace!
