Kissing goodbye and and letting go of plans, the itinerary … the expectations, and rather <\/p>

coming into the flow, that natural flow and ebb, <\/p>

coming into our own in our own space<\/p>

Kissing goodbye the illusions of control over our destiny and <\/p>

we then<\/p>

Kissing this earth; honoring our heart like a child<\/p>

slide our hands forward and slowly raise our gaze to a world that looks deceivingly the same … yet different <\/p>

perhaps there’s a little clarity in that landscape so … uncertain<\/p>

A child faces uncertainty each day but they know each is blessed with an inner compass, a GPS<\/p>

that reliable sherpa within <\/p>

who will guide us trekking this unknown path… <\/p>

and beyond the blurred and hazy plateau of a flattened curve <\/p>

there will be an emergence of another new vista that will come into focus as we flutter open … then widen our eyes in wonder <\/p>

We don’t know what that vista will look like – resuming “normal” life<\/p>

What would that look like? Is it a de-ja-vu, the resumption of the same “normal” unchanged from before, before the pause ?<\/p>

Or would the new normal look different? How different? <\/p>

I pray that <\/p>

We will never forget<\/p>

what we need as much as this breath we take; this oxygen we take<\/p>

we not take for granted all <\/p>

that enriches our lives<\/p>

We will never forget <\/p>

We don’t want to forget how much we missed <\/p>

how it feels to just walk and talk shoulder to shoulder.<\/p>

to slap a friend’s back in camaraderie,<\/p>

with no fear<\/p>

how it feels to see and experience a concert, admire a priceless art, laugh at the same cue seeing a movie together with other humans, <\/p>

together feel the vibes, the goosebumps <\/p>

with no fear<\/p>

how it feels to experience a being bedside at a hospital bed<\/p>

to listen, encourage or to just … be there <\/p>

to hold that hand<\/p>

holding space, <\/p>

to be close to those we feel close was a no brainer before<\/p>

To not let the lonely be left alone<\/p>

We took for granted those auras … those beautiful rainbow of auras we felt<\/p>

We took granted the handshakes, a tap on the shoulder and those <\/p>

hugs<\/p>

We won’t forget that <\/p>

To touch, to be touched … just to see someone in common space, just to share the same space and breathe the common air <\/p>

To gather<\/p>

To come into circle <\/p>

To just walk over; run over; drive over to visit a place a person a venue with utter freedom and abandon … on a whim … before we thought it’s just money, time and energy – lack of it – that prevented us from traveling around the world<\/p>

That freedom and abandon to which we threw ourselves into the flow is no longer our birthright but a privilege, a gift so miraculous where the ordinary is extraordinary in that life of heightened awareness.<\/p>

To take off on an impulse to an exotic land<\/p>

To escape to freedom and joy<\/p>

is not a fantasy but still within in our mind’s power<\/p>

to get up and go <\/p>

to dance to that rhythm of life is within our minds’ stream of consciousness<\/p>

we are free as ever before and after<\/p>

when we trust and source our inner vast universe <\/p>

With gratitude<\/p>
