The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.~Ernest Hemingway

Meditation Twenty-Three

Do not fear mistakes—there are none.

~Miles Davis

Night has passed. This is the beginning of a brand new day.

As you rise…

Take a deep breath. Stretch. Bathe in early morning light. Allow gentle breezes of change to wash over you. And awaken to a new day, to a world of possibilities.

No matter what you did yesterday, or how long the night lingered on, today is fresh and full of potential. Like a blank canvas, it is untried, and awaits your input. This is your day. You are the artist. Now, get to work on your masterpiece.

Splash a little color. Grab a few lines. Experiment with form and texture. Be curious and bold. Make mess. Seek beauty. Give little thought to mistakes. When things fall short of expectation, remember that time is rolling on. Moments pass. The day is a work in progress. As are you.

Breathe. Stretch. Absorb and express. You are growing, every single moment. Let that, if nothing else, inspire you. And begin. Simply begin.

As the artist of my day, I choose to anticipate, participate and appreciate. One moment at a time, I see that I truly am a work in progress.
