Just A Beggar Near The Gate

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
You're going along.
You're doing emotionally great.
Then a tiny thought or anxiety
presents itself at the gate.

Stay calm.

Don't be like the elephant
that runs up a tree because it's
cartoonishly afraid of a mouse.



                            *
Reframe
how you feel about that
tiny negative thought.
Perhaps it is only come to press its nose
up against the window of your party.

Perhaps it is showing itself to
remind you of the importance
of the great mood you're in,
Reminding you to stay
in your higher vibration,
of how far
you have grown.



None of this by force,
but by CHOICE:
the most powerful thing
in the universe.

That little negative thought is
asking you if you want to play.

Don't engage, don't get upset,
thank it for the invitation
and send it on its
way with love.








A cheerful frame of mind,
reinforced by relaxation...
is the medicine that puts
all ghosts of fear on the run.

So, someone is shooting a giant ball of fire at us and we're firing back?

The resting dancer sculpture is quite photogenic. Pixie wants tummy rubs.
