The sun was shining when I first sat down, and how it’s already overcast. That’s okay. There’s a beauty in shadow just as there is in full sun. How I love life!
I was going to write, “How I love MY life,” but then I realized that “I” have nothing to do with this feeling. It’s not about me or mine. There’s no sense of possession here.
In fact, there’s no “I” to be experiencing it. It’s just the naked experience.
Life.
Love.
Ah…! Yes.
