Let it Be
While on vacation this week, I’m sharing a short poem by my father about different approaches to life, and the wisdom of allowing things to be just as they are. I paired the poem with “Spaciousness of Sky”—a lovely Take a Moment micro-meditation that guides us to envision the spaciousness of sky all around us, and then sense it within us. In less than two minutes, we can open ourselves to the expansive energy of the universe—a state of trust and peace that helps us drop our struggles and let life unfold in its own time.
On Life and Love
by Mendek Rubin
The young want to experience it
The rich want to buy it
The thief wants to steal it
The scholar wants to debate it
The dictator wants to control it
The scientist wants to explain it
The fearful want to escape it
The fool wants to manipulate it
The wise just allow it to be
Take a moment to expand your awareness!
