Living Life Sweetly

The tender touch of a Hand

The Flutter of birds wings

The heat of the Sun

The taste of a Strawberry.

 

Living life sweetly occurs

When a person can be present to the experience

To see, feel, touch, and taste it, just as it is.

 

To take the moment in acceptance, and let sweetness

Fill the soul.

 

Simplicity is gateway to fulfillment, happiness

And Peace.

 

When the striving is laid down, the clinging is let go, and

The barrier of resistance is removed.

 

The Heart, Mind and Body is opened to receive

the simple pleasures of life.

 

When it is enough to live lightly, to love deeply,

To be satisfied by the course of your life.

 

To make peace with the past, know that the future is unknown and

Live fully in the Present.

 

Awake.
