Affirmations

[Lisa Walford]

Today I decided that, as we gradually emerge from the weirdness of the last three years, we could use an affirmation! David Meltzer is a Los Angeles based poet, editor, and musician. I am going to read this myself every day this week. It reminds me of the power of AWE. I recently heard a podcast ON-Being with Krista Tippit (one of my fav podcasts) where she interviewed Dacher Keltner. He is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and the author of a new book: Awe, the new science of everyday wonder and how it can transform your life. You can find this podcast on the On Being website, and it is well worth the listen! for now, enjoy and breath in the wonder all around us..     

David Meltzer, RE: 2016

Rejoice that we are here

that we love each other

that we treasure & value

each other

Relax in the flux of moments

flowing w/grace

Reveal our core heart

Our moment, our possibilities

 

Revel in the wonders surrounding us

 

Realize everything & nothing as one

 

Recognize every second of our impermanence

 

Retreat into no-self aware

 

Resist resistance, accept acceptance

 

Renew our love, our life

 

Recognize our precious gift

In every moment

Reflection on water changing,

never the same
