Playing the Day...

It helps to think of Life as a game. It's something we play. Everything counts, everything is connected. But to play is the thing. Keeping a studied, healthy distance from your self. You are inhabiting a body, you are alive in the moment to moment, but you have space, a space in your heart & head. You can luxuriate inside, find comfort in your skin. Meditation is door to that space. Spending time in Nature is a door too. Best to keep those doors open. Yesterday we were back to our bench on the lakefront. The wind was caressing. The waves were high and surging. The temps were agreeable. We sat on our bench and stared off into the great Eastern horizon. Words came, we had a nice conversation, but the words fluttered over us. We were clinging to absolutely nothing. We let it all, every last thing, lightly wash over us. It felt so right and good. Essential too. Playing the day.
