Living life as a lean, green, loving machine
 
I believe that at all times there is this gorgeous juicy free flowing river that gushes through us. It is a river of spirit, creativity, love, hope, joy, connectivity and bliss. As children we play in this river passionately, effortlessly. It is so simple to us to access this river at the early stages of our life because we are still so close to the river's source, to the eternal place from which we came. 

As we grow older most of us lose the ability to play in the river. We move towards "the real world." We are stagnated by fear, we create separation and division between one another. We begin to believe that life is hard, that play is idle, that we must "grow up," "get a real job" and "be an adult." We dam the river up with ludicrous ideology and soon the river goes dry. But does this ideology truly serve us? 

What if we chose to live in the gorgeous, juicy free-flowing river. Now. As childlike adults. What then? What would we accomplish if we gave into our childlike genius? If we stayed awake until the wee hours of the morning, or awoke at the crack of dawn driven by our passions? What would happen if we chose to live in the moment? If we focused on play more than work? If we kept our hearts open and smiles and said hello to e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. If we asked every stranger we met to be our friend? What kind of life would we be living then? 

I'm curious to find out.

Be well,

Marissa I think the world would be a better place if people would open their hearts more to the beauty of the world. We all need to have more fun and play. Thanks for being a shining light in this world.
