Today is one of those days.

You know when your soul is like a leaf that’s falling off a high, high tree...?

Swirling-falling ever so gently? Down, down, down...

And you don’t know where it’s gonna alight, but you do KNOW that it’s gonna be someplace nice? You are free falling through all space. You are endless. And it feels SO right.

From my airy heights, I can see this calm stream. Not so calm to be boring though. It’s gurgling and sunlight-y. It looks like it might have a story to tell. It looks as though, in spite of all its exuberance, it’s been places. Done stuff. The airy realms have a charm that the water can never quite comprehend.

But when you think about it, they both have a lot in common. You simply have to let go. Be swept along.

I am silently making a prayer that I’ll land in the water, and “be swept along”. Gently. I know its gonna leap and jump, especially when it reaches those high places. But it’s ok to fall, when you are gonna fall back into endlessness. It IS a win-win situation either way.

Right now though, I am loving being a leaf. Loving looking at the world from my vantage point. Without anything to hold me back. As free as the air, I am floating in.

It’s so easy to ignore the clouds and the shadows. When you can trust the air and the water to look after you. When you can just trust, and just fall.Maybe, I should practice being a leaf more often!!

What a beautiful world we live in! What an absolutely marvelous life!
