"Here is where it is. Now is when it is. You are what it is.
Celebrate!"
...
There are times like now (any time is a good time really, but
especially times like NOW) when it's opportune to pause
and take a moment to quietly celebrate, for want of a better word, the
triumph of Life itself. And if you tell the truth about
it, including just some of your circumstances and just some of your
missteppings of the past, yes it is a triumph.
It's in moments like these when the opportunity is to just
be with yourself by your Self and take stock
of how you got here ie how it turned out like this - in this universe,
in this galaxy, in this solar system, on
this planet,
in this place, at this time, exactly the way you are and exactly the
way you aren't.
Running the entire gamut from before you were born (however and
wherever you were then) until this very moment straddling, as you do
now, the very prow of the great galleon of Life itself is it's utmost
expression. You're its figurehead. You're the tip of its cosmic
spear if you will. This is its triumph. And it doesn't stop
here. It continues to play and manifest more of itSelf ongoingly,
endlessly, as you.
It's awesome standing fully opened to the possibility of
it's
presence.
It actually requires some muster. To stand fully opened in the
presence
of
who you really are
as the result so far of Life itself, as the
future
possibility
of Life itself, as the triumph of Life itself will, if you let it all
in at once, knock you on your ass.
This isn't
egotism.
This isn't patting yourself on the back congratulating
yourself on what you've accomplished. It's not even close. It's much
more immediate than either of those. What I'm speaking
about here is much more subtle and much more profound. This is simply
being with "I'm here" like the triumph of Life itself.
That's what's awesome. You didn't create "I'm here". It just
shows up
for you as the start of something. When you sit with "I'm
here", there's a way of being with it which takes it for granted to
the point of trivializing and diminishing the
miracle
it really is. Then there's another way of being with "I'm
here": with respect, with wonder, and with awe. When you get
it like that, it will take your breath away.
Celebrate it with respect. Celebrate it with wonder. Celebrate it with
awe. Let it
move you to tears
which it will do if you allow the miracle it is in ie if you allow its
magnificence in.
Who you really are
is the triumph of Life itself. I celebrate
who you really are
as the triumph of Life itself - particularly as the triumph of Life
itself over circumstances. I celebrate
who you areas a possibility.
I celebrate
who you are
as the start of something. It's neverendingly awesome to me what
who you are
unleashes in the universe. I thank you for standing up for not merely
what you can get out of Life but rather for what you can
invent for Life and bring forth like a
possibility of
who you're being.
