LIGHT & BREATH // Today I needed some sparkle. There’s so much going on around the US and the world and I was worried all morning about my friends breathing smoke. And other friends cleaning up from the hurricane. And more friends preparing for the other hurricane. But then she discovered how to catch the light with her sequence dress. And the sparkles exploded on the wall in a flash of brilliance. She gasped. Wide eyed.
.
And for 15 minutes we silently watched the shine. How each dot danced with the rise and fall of her breath. How the colors twinkled. Micro rainbows.
.
And we felt calm and powerful. Harnessers of the light.
.
Afterwards, I reached out to my friends. I was a vessel for their worries. I prayed for them and for everyone. I felt better. And I recorded this moment in my cells. Next time the worry begins to rise I want to remember the breathing, and the dance, and the magic of light reflected.
