A New Way to Live

Days dawn bright with many possibilities, many things to do.  A list waits on my dresser; part of it leftover from yesterday, a new one to make today, to add to things I didn't accomplish yesterday.  Tomorrow, another list.  It will never end.  There is more to life.  I can feel it.  More than just waiting till evening, till the weekend, till I have my own place, till I'm married....  That is just another kind of list.  A list of things I'm waiting for and, many of them, can do nothing about.  But there is another way to live.  I just know it!

Peace in every moment.  A deep excitement that cannot be explained.  Energy pulsing in my body.  Anticipating things to come, yet relishing every second I live in.

The sky opens to me and light pours down.  I close my eyes.  My heart feels warmer.  I have a desire to put on a coat and go explore the last of the fall leaves on the tall oak beside my front door.  Anticipation wells up like a slowly rising stream.  I reach out to inspiration and inspiration reaches back.  My heart opens, blooms and accepts the rays of the sun.  Peace has come.
