I’m watching Maya and her friends practice their dance performance. I get tears in my eyes. Life bursting into unfolding. Eight years old. Girls practicing being a pop star. They take it so seriously. They radiate with joy and energy. This is the most important thing right now. To prepare for the talent show in Spring. To get the steps right, the lyrics and the costumes.
This is what life is all about. To live life to the fullest. To know what is important to you and to sculpture yourself into the person you want to be, and maximize your contribution. To give it your best. Dance like no one is watching.
Can you imagine what the world would look like if we all give ourselves fully and completely? Open, excited, só happy to be us? Grasping thÃs moment to share ourselves. For no other reason than that the joy of being us, of being alive.
Gosh. There Ãs suffering in the world. There Ãs pain and hurt. There Ãs anger and fear.
We need to get together and create compassionate communities. We need to create safe havens where we can heal, integrate and be nourished. So that we can bloom and blossom. So that we can nurture gardens of happy flowers, a beauty for everyone to see.
Can you imagine what the world would look like if it is full of people having the excitement and joy of being themselves? Can you imagine a world full of dancing circles?
I can.
I wish you a merry Christmas, full of love, connection, and belonging. May you find the joy and excitement to live life to the fullest.
