So for the moment I spend time focusing on the goodness I can find in the small things around me.
I focus on the things that delight me so I can cope with it all. So I can heal my heart that is aching deeply for the state of affairs of my second country of origin. We fled the first when I was 5, but that's another story for another time. The small things I find that bring me joy makes me feel, no... make me know that this life is worth living. I have so much to be grateful for.
Fear is our reality, yes because we have poverty and crime and yes, it is challenging but I am fully engaged and fully here! From what I see on the news fear might be becoming everyone's reality. The world is in a weird space and I've been saying for a long time, Mother Earth is groaning.
Life is beautiful. It's not perfect, but it's enough, for now.
I get to come home after a full day in the city, which I love, to my sweet little home and beautiful studio that I am so grateful to have and I get to try find and make beautiful everyday and just for a precious moment I get to forget the woes of the world and get to focus on goodness.
And then I get to share that with you. Thank you for giving me that.
