Be the ocean.

Be ever-changing,

But always the same.

Be simple and transparent,

With an entire world deep down inside,

Full of odd and interesting creatures.

Be calm.

Be still.

But let yourself get wild and lost in a storm from time to time.

Live many homes on many shores.

And be slightly different at every one.

Let people in.

Let them feel free and surround them with every bit of your being,

Asking for nothing in return.

Take in sharp rocks and all the broken glass,

And return them back as beautiful treasures.

Be routine,

But never predictable.

And be so loved that people spend their days sitting by your side.

Be free and vast.

And be deep and powerful,

All the while being completely moved by something greater than yourself.

This was written by Michael Duboiset.

Thanks for listening.

With blessings and gratitude,

Barbara.
