Get to Work Having Fun

Find that place where the noise fades and weight lightens. Look for the movements and actions that allow each aspect of your truth to flow seamlessly – where you still see the truth, in its well-lit streets and its dark alleys, but your heart remains open and your voice is strong.

Look for that place where you are still and making waves at the same time, where the tension between peace and activism relaxes, where the walls between stillness and change crumble, where you can make a difference while being one hundred percent true to your own heart and soul.

Find your art. Your joyful, playful flow. Your natural expression and comfortable being. Find the middle ground, whether it’s on the streets surrounded by other lovers and thinkers and hopefuls, or its out in the middle of the forest talking to the trees – or both.

Look for that middle ground and set up camp there. Light a candle and lay out the welcome mat and find your tribe and bring them along.

This is your path, and your path is how you affect change for the better. Don’t look to others’ paths unless it is simply to ask yourself if you can make some magic by combining them. Find YOUR path and walk it with full confidence that your every step matters.

Let it flow and evolve. Your path today may be entirely different than your path tomorrow. So keep your eye on the center and let it flow from there. Be open to new ways of expressing, of helping, of connecting and loving. Be open, but be true first to you.

And accept, not only that others might not understand, but also accept that it might not always be exactly right. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but an important one. Because you won’t always be right. That’s an important part of the journey.

But if where you’re at feels like love, it feels like home, it feels like activism and peace at the same time – then your heart will guide you the rest of the way.

You matter. You can make a difference. And you can do it without getting caught in a fight-mentality, without sacrificing your softness, without hurting others or yourself, without perpetuating a story that is not yours.

You can make a difference. Just find that place, learn how to live there, and get to work having fun.
