Sunshine

I came across quotes by Winnie the Pooh.

“It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine.”

Winnie the Pooh said a surprising amount of profound things

Sorry if I’m turning this into a bit of a book report lately. Every day I’ve been reading a little of ‘Untethered’ in the mornings and at night.

It feels like l’ve never read any of it before. I’ve actually had this thought: why have I never heard this?! It’s exactly the information that I’ve wondered about.

The whole energy issue has been a fascination of mine for years. Changing it, noticing it, being affected by it. What it even is, some people don’t agree that it exists at all. Watch it leave a body or a home, it’s definitely something. Chi. Life force. What is it that is animating these bodies of ours? What is the feeling in the room? What lingers when a body leaves? What is enthusiasm? Where does enthusiasm go when it gets replaced? Why do depressive feelings seem like exhaustion?

I am ever curious about what the book calls our ‘inner energy’. I like the idea that I have some influence over it.

Sitting on our beach on this warm sunny day. Creaking wood of the dock, gentle lapping of the waves on the sand. There is a little movement in the water. Its rhythmic and peaceful, one of the last beach days this year. Peace and sunshine are fleeting, always fluctuating. Always ebbing and flowing.

I once heard that opposites are really the same thing. Like two sides of a coin. Or with weather a sunny day or a stormy day, both are days. I hope to find as much pleasure as I feel in the sun today, in the rain on another day.

I hope to stay open and receptive to life as it unfolds in every way, regardless of how things are going.
