Life is...

There are times in life when we seem to be so alive and in love with everything.

I have been spending time with myself, without distraction, without thought, and maybe it's the spring weather or the beautiful sunshine but I have fallen in love.

This life is a lot more romantic than many believe it to be. Everyday we wake up greeted by life. As your eyes open your heart picks up it's pace and sends warmth and life coursing through your body, new breath, new blood, a new day. Everyday we wake up and life wants nothing more than to welcome us, wants us to live it, in it and with it. Imagine your life was your partner and when you opened your eyes every morning you were greeted with a smile, a hug, a kiss. No stress, no judgement only love and acceptance. So many of us ask for this, long for a partner who can give us only happiness and love without realizing that you have what you seek. Your life is your greatest partner, the only one who will be there until the end, the only one who will give you what you need.
When you leave your home to go to work or school, your life goes with you, smiling all the way. We encounter problems, we get sad and it is your life that cries with you and wraps you in the greatest love. Only your life can understand you for who you really are. When you are sick it is your life that fights for you, your heart beats with determination everyday, in sickness and in health. Your life is your best friend.

Unfortunately for most of us we don't see it or pay attention. When we wake up and our life smiles we spit at it because we're tired. When we go to work and life dances along to all of the majesty surrounding us, we scoff, we don't see anything majestic, just chaos, trash and inconvenience. When we are hurt and life cries and comforts us we push it away because after all it is life's fault that we feel like this in the first place. When we are happy and want to celebrate life, we feed our bodies things that numb life, that shorten life.

Yet no matter how we abuse our lives, no matter how many times we stomp on it or call it useless it still smiles at us every morning, it still loves you through everything, your heart still beats.

It's sad that we don't love our lives as much as they love us.

Everyday, every hour, every moment is a new beginning, let life show you what you have to be grateful for.

Think of the love you have for the lives of others, feel your heart swell with overwhelming joy at the thought of a loved one living their life fully.

Your life loves you even more than that.

I call my life God, you may call your life something different but through everything, at the centre of it all, your life is love.
