After this week's attack in Toronto, we are all struggling with the feelings of anger, grief, frustration, a bit of hopelessness, maybe even despair. It's terrifying that we can't always 'stay safe' and there are no guarantees that something drastic, tragic and unexpected won't affect our lives. But what if control and certainty were not the things we focused on? What if we concentrated on being fully alive and aware and awake right now - with appreciation and gratitude for each moment - instead of worrying about what will happen next or replaying what was? If you can live and love with a full heart, and if you can't, if you are brave enough to make a change right now, then fear and sadness won't have such a hold over you anymore. This is true freedom and peace of mind. This world is not ours to rule. But this moment is.
Look into my eyes and smile Follow me with your gaze Come and stand beside me Drink in my scent Graze my arm with yours And let yourself breathe out You're safe here by my side Talk with me about everything And nothing at all Laugh, and cry with me Share a meal with me Hold me close and cherish me. Touch my hand as we walk together Write me words of love Lose yourself in my embrace And find out what I'm worth Kiss like it's the first time, the last time and the best Take me away with you And show me all the rest.
