Over my many years, I’ve decided how I want to live … moment to moment.  Often I fall short of my vision.  Often I forget who I am.

I’m here to love, to serve, to be kind.  And to have virtually all of my spirit available to the next human being I meet, rather than it being covered by a cloak of despair.

I need reminders.

This morning in bed I decided to write a few things down.  And here I am, talking to you.

***

I see two major times in my life:

1.  When things are cool

2.  When things are uncool

Here are my reminders for each:

A.  All Is Well

1.  Open my arms wide, hug the whole world

2.  Love … scatter it throughout the cosmos or aim it at a certain person

B.  I’m Experiencing A Negative Emotion (e.g. Fear)

1.  Go towards it

2.  Open my arms wide, hug the emotion

***

And … I don’t want to do B so the emotion will disappear.  (Well, part of me wants that, but not the bigger part) 

I want to be close to everything

The whole enchilada
