Wonder

This week during the holidays, I spent time with my three-year-old grandson and rediscovered one of the great secrets to happiness: curiosity. Through repetition, he learns, and each approach is done without self-judgment, as though he is doing it for the first time. He thinks and asks unlimited why’s. His only desire is to fully be. 


As I return home, I reset my clock to the timelessness, richness, fullness, and joy of now. I let go of fear by thinking and asking why.


Life is 


Easy and hard

Fast and slow

Cold and hot

Inside and outside

Good and bad

Quick and slow

Happy and sad

Yummy and yucky

Quiet and loud

Yes, and No


Life is an AND, not an OR


In this world of duality 

eliminating one means eliminating the other


Embrace the middle


Embrace it all


With 


Curiosity

Love

Grace

Detachment

Gratitude

Imagination

And Wonder
