The Good News.

My darlings, a shorter posting today – if you’ll not mind. As I don’t wish to deter from the simplicity of these words, which so eloquently speak to the energy of intention.

We have the capacity within each moment, my loves – to redirect, to transform, to transcend. And, it is always within the parameters of our choices – to forge valiantly through or remain at status quo.

The good news is, that we alone define our choices. The good news is, that – if we really listen – the song of all eternity is reflected within the dandelion’s smile.

Listen to it, my loves. Bow your head in silent reverence and leave all your troubles behind.

The good news is, that true freedom is accessible within every single moment.

“The Good News”
from Call Me by My True Names by Thich Nhat Hanh

They don’t publish
the good news.
The good news is published
by us.
We have a special edition every moment
and we need you to read it.
The good news is that you are alive,
and the linden tree is still there,
standing firm in the harsh Winter.
The good news is that you have wonderful eyes
to touch the blue sky.
The good news is that your child is there before you,
and your arms are available:
Hugging is possible.
They only print what is wrong.
Look at each of our special editions.
We always offer the things that are not wrong.
We want you to benefit from them
and help protect them.
The dandelion is there by the sidewalk,
smiling its wondrous smile,
singing the song of eternity.
Listen! You have ears that can hear it.
Bow you head.
Listen to it.
Leave behind the world of sorrow
and preoccupation
and get free.
The latest good news
is that you can do it.
