Heartful Living and Dying

There is a poem called WARNING, by jenny Joseph.
(You can read it HERE) In her fairly well-known piece, Joseph speaks of how, when she is "old", she will wear purple and a red hat that clashes... and do all manner of other things outside of normally accepted behavior. Finally, she decides that perhaps it would be best if she practiced some of these things BEFORE she is old. . . giving us each a reminder - and perhaps permission, if we are in need of such a thing - to find our own way of 'wearing purple'. I piggy-back Joseph's reminder now, and invite YOU to be present to your own heart's less-usual desires and see if there is a way - maybe just ONE for today - that you might allow your most free and authentic self some space to live, and act as if the world does not care, or, better yet, as if YOU do not care what the world thinks. There is power and magic in allowing ourselves freedom to be as we truly are. (And better yet, it can be contagious!) Take the risk - even a small one - and see how your heart feels when you ALLOW IT TO BE and LIVE, uncensored. Blessings upon your Journey. Love Always, Maya
