Make It Your Moment

Today like every other day

We wake up empty and scared

Don’t open the door of your study

And begin reading.

Take down a musical instrument

let the beauty we love be what we do

There are hundreds of way to kneel

And kiss the earth.

This inspirational poem by Rumi reminds me of the capacity we all have to make our own music.  To create our own thoughts.  Of course, our environment shapes us.  But can we also shape ourselves?  Neuroscience has shown that are brains have plasticity.  We can recreate pathways in our brain- for the better.  So let’s give ourselves permission to think of things that make us happy.  To touch our hearts, take a deep breathe and be with the beauty of life.
