The Only Way to Respond to Life

I went for a run along the beach at sunset yesterday,
foam kissing my bare feet,
smooth sand caressing my soles,
and the sky exploding with color.

I paused for breath,
mostly because the sky, and the Pacific, had borrowed my breath from me.
I stopped and applauded.


This morning, wherever you are, whatever life has given you, take a moment to really appreciate this gift...

Then give back to life, something, anything, to show your gratitude for this miracle you’ve been given. Do anything: be kind to someone, create something, be gentle with your children, do something where your body feels full of life.
