a guest chickadee {lisa}

This sacred life is:

• a nap in the grass in the sunshine
• buddha at the front door, bedecked in a rainbow of malas
• talking to dogs
• spontaneous tears in yoga class
• meeting someone for the first time and already knowing them
• you read that sentence.  you read it again.  you read it again.  you put the book down on your chest and take a breath.
• when you can't stop laughing
• the scent of burning leaves
• being dwarfed by the size of mother sea
• finding your people
• hands in dirt
• that beautiful dream where you spend the day with an old friend who is gone from your life
• enthusiasm
• surrender
• the catch in your throat that says no
• the swell in your chest that says yes
• the milky way (as seen by six-year-old me perched on my daddy's shoulders)
• that magic moment when you change your mind and decide to go in a different, beautiful, loving direction
• forgiveness
• bravery

Beautiful ones Lisa; I love the one where you mentioned that you read a sentence over and over again. I feel like I want to GLUE IT on the inside of me.
