We are in uncharted and
unprecedented territory. Right?
At the same time, we are not.
We are in the territory of fear.
We are in a territory which enslaves us.

What if we had a beginner’s mind
and we did not know we are supposed
to be afraid.
What if we saw this as an adventure?
What if we forgot we were
supposed to worry?

What if we freed ourselves
from worry
fear.
expectation,
prejudices
and concern.
What if we opened ourselves
up to faith,
trust,
love and adventure.

What if we took precautions
without worrying about
hoarding toilet paper.
What if we had faith we could
pay our bills in time.
What if we learned games
which allowed us to laugh
and play.
What if we found new ways of
relating and discovering
new things about ourselves
and others because
we set ourselves free.

THANK YOU

To all the people who have gotten on my nerves,
Thank you.
You have taught me so much
about myself.
You have taught me to
turn the mirror on myself
and see that same quality
in myself and learn from it,
so thank you.

To all the people who have hurt me
Thank you.
You too have taught me to
look at why I allowed you to do so.
You helped me grow and become
more aware of where I needed to heal,
what expectations I needed to release, and
what else I needed to release in my own life,
so thank you.

To all the people who have not lived up
to my expectations.
Thank you.
You have taught me to look at what
I was still expecting and not aware o.
You have reminded me of the difference
between expectation and agreement.
You have helped me to seek clarification,
in those situations where I did not have it,
so thank you.

To all those who have helped me to grow,
because something you did hurt me,
disappointed me,
let me down,
irritated me,
or just got on my last nerve,
thank you.
