When I keep my eyes open, when I keep my heart open, when I
keep my mind open, treasures abound. It’s really that simple. Treasures are
everywhere, all the time, it is only my closed-offness that prevents me from
finding them.
Some of the treasures Life has blessed me with may seem
silly. For instance, the clouds that seem to put on plays for me when I am out
walking. Or the way Gracie readies herself to run Run RUN round and round the
Wee Cottage when we return from our adventures BEyond. Perhaps even the silly
kick I get from making my giraffe sculptures.
It’s easy to get too serious and BE sensible; even
practical. Yet just by opening up a smidge from all that BEing a grown-up
stuff, I’ve discovered wondrous treasures in the ordinariest every dayness of
Life.
The thing I often forget about FINDING treasures is that they aren’t meant to hold and keep. They
are meant only to deLIGHT, enJOY, and BE wondered at gladly. This is where I
always, ALWAYS used to get lost, muddled, and frustrated.
Holding on too tight or even just holding on is NOT how
treasure is meant to BE handled. It must BE held loosely, lightly, and
lovingly, always with the openness of Letting Go.
Always… ALWAYS.
I love you, Currie
