Happiness is Naked.
Good Evening-The way I see it …
We ( as a collective ) have aged here in this time. Many of us have studied, observed, laughed, and lived enriched by our surroundings, choices, and close relationships.
We have memories, regrets, pain, and extreme joy.
Happiness is not as elusive as many think. We do not “find” it in other people. We do not “find” it in meditation or Eastern art forms, in nature, or in material things.
We do not have to “find” anything.
Happiness is a realization of our oneness to all.
Our empathy, humanity.
If we realize that concept, we can recognize the carousel of this planet.
All that is in it is just an experience.
That is it.
You must live life and experience it and not dissect the whole.
If we (as individuals) do NOT come to this, we leave here and go to our graves ill at ease in our souls.
We will close the doors of the universe that will be shown before us and all the magic it enfolds.
It is before us — within reach.
Gratitude is not just a bunch of random letters thrown together to be used in inspirational settings with muslin dresses and yoga mats.
We have lived.
Touched.
Loved the earth.
Now we must turn inward- very simply and love ourselves.
It is really quite simple.
