Be Summer



Lately I've been drawn to the particularly fresh and carefree. Ideas, looks, and energies that evoke openness, freedom and possibility. I think, I want to be that - I literally want to feel what I see. So, why not?

I've been doing okay in that I'm finding it easier and easier to capture these moments, ingraining them into my heart - as sure as the beat.

It doesn't hurt that my weekend was full of beautiful people, places, and food. I watched as everyone around me created and transformed our living into still-life inspiration - a postcard to forever keep.



Be still.



Be all shades of rose. Be able to arrange.



Be in the earth. Be finding dirt under your nails. Be remembering where you were when you got dirt under your nails.



Be stepping into space. Be stepping on the ground. Be stepping into the space that you create. Be stepping into the ground that is limitless.



Be playful. Be relaxed. Be whimsical. Be lounging. Be summer. Be all of the above.



Having been there you might allow yourself to stay. Stay among the way you felt good. You think you might be needed elsewhere. But you're not.



Stay for the nourishment and the warmth. Stay for the plenty. You are meant to be here.



Staying being. Stay free.



Say to yourself: stay being with me.
