"Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune."
                                       ~ Walt Whitman

In the midst of seeking, shopping, much doing,

may we pause and take time today,
a few moments at least,

for simply being.

Be present.
Be aware of your breathing.
Your heartbeat.
You.
A good fortune.

May we be grateful for the opportunity to be. 
Here and now. With great inner wealth. A fortune of gifts. Among them: love, hope, and joy. 

Always,
