Where The Wind Blows!
I just had a wind-blown epiphany! I figure that today, the fourth day of Spring, will be a great day to do it: open my window, grab my worries by the scruff of the neck and toss them out as hard as I can! Some of the ones I’d been holding onto were gaining weight to the point that they were getting awfully hard to lift - I had to drag them kicking and screaming across my mind. There! I shall welcome in the new season of growth with some smiling seedlings of relief and hope. Ahhh…Peace…Ommmm. In the process of clearing that nasty clutter, I suddenly felt the urge to giggle, and then to laugh – a lot! Luckily, no one was here to notice – except that wind? It seemed to suddenly pick up speed as it passed by my window! Wait, hold on - I feel another purge coming on: little gusts of guilt are starting to slip back in, bringing their baggage with them – sneaky little seeds of ‘bad attitude’ – Out they go!
Attitude is like an amazing home that we all are given, to build, renovate, and decorate with whatever colours and inputs we choose. Filling it up with ill-fitting, imagined fears and old grey grievances is such a waste of a fantastic space, and ultimately, it is within that space that we will live out our lives, and invite others in.
The wind is blowing past my window right now, picking up the birdseed and blowing it across the lawn, then picking up the wings of the little birds and giving them a ride – a neat game of let’s catch our dinner on the fly! Picking up my recycle bin of worries should be a snap for it! I’ll make sure to put it out every recycle day and to keep my home bright enough to see the colours. The wind may pick up speed at times; at other times it seems to disappear, but it will always return, stirred by little butterfly wings of hope – Wait for it, and get those recycle bins ready!
