"I say, don't skip dessert,
go barefoot, nap often,
curse when necessary, laugh
a lot, be generous, be kind,
and always choose love."
~Anita Opper, Zen to Zany
This bit of hippie wisdom
hit me hard this early morn.
Seems to me we all live on
a somewhat floating scale
of what we consider to be
naughty rather than nice.
Left overs from Santa, I
guess.
We allow ourselves to sin at
a fine restaurant and rather
than celebrating the delight,
we carp all the next day
about falling off our diets.
"I shouldn't have stayed up
so late! Shouldn't have had
that drink! Shouldn't have
had seconds!"
God in heaven, we live in
a world of shouldn'ts! We
bind ourselves in laments,
regrets and admonitions!
Methinks 'tis high time to
live rather than exist and
lose the guilt already!
Are you listening ld?
