the life changing truth of open hands
I’m aware that all I really had to do is make that declaration that I wanted more joy and it seems like the Universe is careening around getting me exactly where I need to be. I feel so ridiculously receptive right now, and so scared of the part of me that wants to arrange, fix, find, discover. It seems that going in that direction would dissipate the joy or make it more temporary. Instead I feel like I’m walking around with arms outstretched waiting for what’s meant for me to fall from the sky. This kind of expectancy, which is akin to anticipation, generates its own pleasure and its own particular brand of trust. It requires believing that something is coming and that it’s here already, if only I’d open my hands.
