i'm in love and so what


one of my favorite girlfriends, Bella Bella



what a terrible way
to say it
right:

"i'm in love
and so
what?"

and yet
and yet

what is more normal
than being in
love?

what is more
natural
to our
human
being
status?

our being
is love
and
to
be
"in love"
is
just
(just!)
to wake back
up
to all
we
are

before we
coat
ourselves
with the suggestions
and advice
and misperceptions
of others

life
is
one waking
and
lucky
gift
moment
after
another

to be
in
love
is
the
so what
of being
naturally
back
where
we
always
could
be

yes

how to get smarter


Christopher plus two angels, Bella and Mona.


How to get smarter?

Pay attention to reality.

Look at what is out there.

Get interested. No words, just perceptions.

And then start to perceive differences:
if I look from this way,
and that,
what is the difference?

If it is morning or
night,
what is the difference?

What is the difference in
me
if I am breathing in
or
breathing out?

How is the bird I am looking at
different than
that bird over there?

If I put my weight more
on
my right foot
than my left,
what could I learn about how I stand.

This easy life
is all about learning
and learning is all
about delight
delighting
in the little differences
details
joys
distinctions.

Yes.
Life is good;.
