Life can be harsh and beautiful by turns. Often, it seems unfair. Why can't the beautiful openings last longer? I learned one spring that this movement from fullness to bareness is the inhalation and exhalation of the universe.
The rhythm is what keeps us alive. It keeps us growing.

The most sacred place dwells within our heart, where dreams are born and secrets sleep, a mystical refuge of darkness and light, fear and conquest, adventure and discovery, challenge and transformation. Our heart speaks for our soul every moment while we are alive. Listen... as the whispering beat repeats: be...gin, be...gin, be...gin. It's really that simple. Just begin... again.

Focus on your breathing and on your heartbeat. All life depends on them. Even Gaia, our Mother Earth, respires. Fullness to bareness, happiness to sadness, all are a rhythm. My new mantra for running.....Be...gin, A...gain, Be...gin, A...gain. Whisper it to yourself while listening to the planet's seasonal respirations. So calming.
Thnk, too, of hearing the heartbeat of a loved one, and how your heartbeat harmonizes with his or hers. We are separate, but connected and interdependent. Be....gin, A...gain. Be...gin, A...gain.
