"The happiest moments in our lives are when we are playing just like children, when we are singing and dancing, when we are exploring and creating just for fun."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz
Let's let these words be a touchstone for tapping into joy today.
What might your inner child like to do?
Even if we feel too busy or depleted to play, we can be authentically child-like by paying attention to what naturally and readily stirs the joy that is always present within us.
"Even during sad times joy is within you. Bring it forth" says
the wise woman Mater to the young girl seeking healing in The Twelve Gifts for Healing.
One way I've been doing this lately is by listening to oldies from the 50s and 60s on You Tube. One of my favorites: Where Are You Little Star by the Elegants (1958). I like seeing the vinyl record I played back then in 1958 too.
May our hearts be lifted with love and
de-light,
Charlene
