Damn sweet unique is what you are
Do you ever in a quiet moment
get smacked by the
WEIRDNESS of being here?
Don’t be afraid.
I see you as You Are.
No quality
no achievement
no appearance
compares in the slightest to
THE MYSTERY
of your existence, of your being real.
Here: on a planet,
poured from a luminous milk bottle of stars
set on the soft black cloth of
a uni-verse stitched with a
hundred
b i l l i o n
galaxies
in which you can’t be lost
because HERE YOU ARE,
Found.
Your existence—when you notice—
is a sublime opportunity
to be stupefied
into
GLORY.
No quality
no achievement
no appearance
could ever compare with, yes—
the w o n d e r of you.
Rush awake from bad dreams
in which you are not admired by the heavens as
DAMN SWEET UNIQUE.

Get WOOZY with love by CRUSHING on nature with POETRY
HOW CAN OUR SOULS NOT GO
So woozy with a crush
of gravity is this planet
that it’s not enough
to embark upon a year-long
courtship we call orbit;
Our earth TWIRLS
at drunken speed, too lovelorn
to care about sobriety
in its attraction to a star.
And our Sun takes notice,
how can it not?
Earth breathes
sweet leafy breath to
clothe itself in bridal clouds,
Reflects the sun’s shine
with its expanse of ocean to
say, You’re beautiful like this,
and, in unfathomable
vulnerability,
Offers up all its stories with
lifetimes of human
Beings.
With existential mystery like this
happening—
actually happening—
how can our souls not go
WOOZY
WITH
LOVE?

Your most ordinary day isn’t. Cosmic forces are at work within you.
If you must identify with anything, identify with Life itself.
Consider yourself a part of the magnificent movement of the universe, mysterious and fundamentally creative. Write down your agenda for the day if you like or if it helps, but remember to open yourself to going off-road with Life/God in case there’s a better movement than what you had planned or could have imagined.
It so happens that cosmic movement isn’t only in the planets and stars, it’s within you too. Can you feel the energy in that?
There is no ‘boring,’ which could only ever be unnatural to you, a silly joke for the cosmos to pat on the head with laughter. What appears to be the most ordinary (or even bad) day is actually ripe with creative and evolutionary force.
Go, be filled with Life today, which is to say—
GO BE FULL OF YOURSELF.
