Welcome to a new world.

The snow cover finally melts away and reveals an expanse of ground rough with the debris of winter and raw from its ravages.

Everything seems deeper,

Wider,

Longer,

And higher.

While the outside world expands,

Let the inside world also grow larger and larger.

Breath comes in and goes out.

Each time,

Your chest is a little bit more full,

And each breath brings more silence inside.

Follow your breath in your nose and mouth,

Down your throat,

Into your two lungs,

And from there throughout your whole body.

Arms,

Hands,

Fingers,

Chest,

Waist,

And down to your legs,

Feet,

And toes.

Stay in tune with your body and find those places that hold emotion.

Entice and encourage whatever feeling you find to grow,

To grow up and out so that the feeling is expressed right here,

Now.

With the way cleared by emotions,

Let your spirit breathe and live and come.

This nameless essence is what is most uniquely you.

Try on the notion that who you really are is not bound by time or space.

May you expand beyond your usual conception of yourself.

Your gift today is expansion.
