What are you Waiting For?

“You want to know how to be here? 

Stop constantly waiting for something.”

from the movie Eat,Pray,Love

I don't proclaim to have all the answers,

Lord knows I asked most of the questions,

and

read just about every book that might

have the answer to the deepest question

most of us have.

Why are we here?

I've spent a great deal of my life,

waiting and digging and searching,

for

that

one moment

when it would all become clear

i'd know "that thing"

that
I was meant to do

to change the world,

i'd find that "one thing"

that

I might do, or say, or learn

that would fulfill me,

fill me up and pour me over,

anchor me in my place.

One day,

it happened.

I woke up and I quit

waiting,

and

I realized

all I needed to do was

BE...

so

I spread my petals

face first toward the warmth of the sun,

felt the breeze on my face,

smelled the scent of the roses breaking down as I walked past,

wet dew on my feet

 the smell of newly cut grass,

and

I smiled

because

I am

and

I am here!!!

Fully Alive,

Fully Present,

Fully Me!

May today,

be the day,

that

we all stop waiting and looking and longing and spending,

and

accept our place on the planet

and

BE....

Blessings and Hugs

to

you

on this Saturday Evening!
