Life Overflowing

Life is opening and closing

all around us

if we are but

aware. We are

invited to be fully here, to

shut nothing out,

to open ourselves

equally to

sorrow as well as joy, to drink

our fill from Life’s

overflowing

cup, to say yes

again and again and again.

    if it’s this worthwhile,
    and it is,
    then open and open and open,
    again, and again, and again . . .

    Thanks, Joan.

    Joan,…I love this! Life IS “opening and closing” all the time. I am at a place in my life right now where I need to be open to “sorrow as well as joy” – and definately, “again and again and again.”
