A day in my life

Graphic by Bruna Costa

I look at the sky counting each curve on a cloud, watching it move easily, focusing on the light that shines through it. It is so-so-so bright! It says “I am here to embrace you with strength and courage.” I get a feeling that I can make it to the end of my day with triumph.

 I walk barefoot in the river, flowing gently on its pebbles. My inner being is really restored. Then I’m at the playground on a swing letting my hair soar wild and free while my body releases with joy.

When I get home, I pull a quilt from my closet and lie cozily against the fireplace as my body reinvigorates and gets ready for my tomorrow.
