Soak It In

Sometimes we’re in the middle of the pool or the middle of the ocean and all of the waves and people are splashing around us. Just take a moment to stop right there, amidst the wet chaos, to take a look around and soak it in. Soak it all in. Just stop right there and soak in the goodness that surrounds you. How do you do that you say? You take the peak of that happy moment and put up the Pause Sign and look at every detail: the sun shining down on you, the people you love surrounding you and getting you wet, hear the laughter, feel the joy, notice the waves crashing beneath your feet and the strength and stability that your legs have in the sand or the bottom of the pool. You are not shaken. You are not stirred. Amidst all of the perceived chaos, you find calm. It is this calm that gives you peace, gives you joy. This is how it was always meant to be. You are the chaos and the calm as one. So stand there and soak it all in. This is your life after all and it is beautiful. Sigh:)
