Stay open despite past hurts

It was a beautiful fall sunrise with a vibrant orange, pink and golden glow. Pelican Highway was jamming, flying fast southbound with the assistance of the breeze and the waves.

Some seagulls were already waiting when I arrived, but most of them flew in after the sun came up. Their feathers were catching the soft pink light.

“When we get grumpy or scared we can be aggressive and hurt each other. It’s part of our survival instincts. Despite the hurts along the way, we continue to flock together, keeping our hearts open. We get it, it’s normal to want to close up in an attempt to avoid getting hurt. We’ve found forgiving ourselves and each other helps our hearts stay open to receiving the abundance of joy. The more joy we have the lighter we feel making life more fun!”

Wishing you a day feeling light and joyful!
