That Holds The Whole World

Take a very deep breath in
and a very slow breath out


Sit up very straight
Notice that as your spine lengthens,
your heart opens.


Now breathe into the space
of an open heart - feel into the
space of an open heart.


A heart that is empty, a heart
that holds the whole world.


Feel into a heart that 
can hold the whole world.


Breathe into the sweetness of this moment.
Allow yourself to be whole-heartedly
alive and well in the life you have, now.


-Rolf Gates


This Being Alive is going to slip away for a long weekend.

I'll be back on Monday...

With love and gratitude for your shiny selves.
