MAY SCWBI CHALLENGE
Listen From Your Happy Place
It’s like the golden egg of your being
Listen, don’t listen!
To all the thoughts in your head
Negative at best
Listen, don’t listen!
To all the news on the set
Believe in Order
Listen, attentive
To goings-on in your home
You’re in control there
And when all else fails
Listen from your happy place
Discard all the rest.
Listen! Your happy place exists. It’s like the golden egg of your being. It’s the place you discovered as a child. It’s the place from where all goodness comes. The good news. Listen! It has never left you.
The place will expand to accommodate you whenever you want to visit — you’re bigger, in adult bodies now.
The only requirement I know of is this: In order to honor the sanctity of the place WE need to let go of adult ‘baggage’ we’ve collected in our adult-world.
Walk in after disinfecting your mind:
May we all seek out that place and learn to quieten our souls there.
A new friend I just met, Vinia Majaba, wrote about it in an article. She called the place, tranquility. Here’s the short article:
“Find the place inside where there’s joy and the joy will burn out the pain.”- Joseph Campbell
Joyology seems a good name to me, and so I wrote about it here:
an excellent companion spring, summer, fall, snow seek that place of joy look not outside but in you
This article attempts to ride a wave that my great writer/friend got started. I applaud Amy Marley. From the list of prompts in Amy’s article, I chose to write on Listen. (But you already know that, right? 😉)
Listen! I like this wave and I extend an invitation to anyone who wants to ride it. Happy Writing.
THANK YOU FOR READING I Wish You Miracles.
