I remember myself as a young child who only learned to walk in the past year. Right now, I am in a magical place.
My parents call it “the beach”.
I am so happy! The sun is shining and the air is warm; it feels like I am being hugged by the sky!
I am sitting in sand on the edge of a long, gentle flow of water that is barely high enough to come halfway up my leg. The sand that touches the water is softer, smoother and heavier than the dry sand under my butt. Again and again, I touch each kind of sand, mesmerized by the differences and similarities between them.
(pause to feel and play with the sand)
I don’t “think” about the differences. I feel the differences. I immerse myself in each kind of sand, tasting it, spreading it on my body, face and head. I splash in the water. I feel wonder, awe, joy and elation. I forget that anywhere else exists.
My entire world is: this spot on this beach, at this perfect moment.
I am pure joy.
There is no sense of separation between my arms, legs and body and the sand, water, air and sun.
We all unite in joy and acceptance.
This is the state we want to experience again and again and again in our lives…
Pure joy
Pure acceptance
The ability to be 100% present in a perfect now moment.
I am pure love.
