Cats spend their day following the sun patches in their homes. They move to the places where the sun pours in seeking the warmth and comfort of the light. Perhaps this coming year invites us to find our personal sun patch in a world where fragility and uncertainty threaten to steal our capacity for joy and our sense of wellbeing and ‘ok’ness.

I invite you to copy the following poem and post it somewhere as a reminder of who we truly are and as an inspiration to look for the positive in the dark challenges that continue to move around us.

Breathe into the words as you read them and remember the capacity for joy and resilience that is in us all:

I sometimes forget

that I was created for Joy.

My mind is too busy.

My Heart is too heavy

for me to remember

that I have been

called to dance

the Sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile

To Love

To be lifted up

And to lift others up.

O’ Sacred One

Untangle my feet

from all that ensnares.

Free my soul.

That we might

Dance

and that our dancing

might be contagious.

~Hafiz

Be well, Breathe Joy,

John
