LIGHTEN UP
J AN ISTARA Ackerman 8-09-2011
These are the times to lighten up!
Just wing it!
That’s what I said;
T’is time to openly expose
our Light body and
our loving heart
as we soarrrrrr on
upward currents of laughter.
It’s time to ‘Fly, you turkey, fly!’
Money in... money out.
It’s just printed tree bark, for heaven sakes.
If you’re hungry... run back out to the garden.
If you’re lonely... extend a hand to a stranger.
If you’re fat... go for a walk.
If you’re tired... go to sleep,
but in your dreams... ‘Fly, you turkey, fly!’
Photographer Ray G. Foster....National Wild Turkey Federation
If life seems dark... open your eyes.
If you feel over-worked... go fish’en.
If life seems too complicated...
get down on your knees and
play marbles with the grandkids.
If the news on the TV is disturbing...
listen to a cat purr.
If someone gets in your face... smile.
If you’re cold... walk from the shadow
into the sunlight.
If a storm is headed your way...
read a good book in a
‘basement safe corner’.
Oh yeah... don’t forget the flashlight!
And if it’s a REALLY BIG STORM...
prayerfully surrender to ‘Thy Will be Done!’
But whatever you do...
get ready to ‘Fly, you turkey, fly!’
When driving a car...
call in guardian angels.
When doing tedious tasks...
focus as you sing.
When meeting your mate at the door...
turn on the music, gather ‘um in your arms
and dance around the kitchen.
When you're changing dirty dippers...
thank God/dess for your wondrous,
pooping kid-lets... ‘they work!’
When fixing a meal...
stir ‘heart-love’ into every dish.
When someone’s in pain...
send ‘um LOVE.
Always expect
joyful giggles to fill your life.
Be fearless... with no hesitation just stand
on the edge of this third dimensional abyss,
look to the heavens, spread your wings
and
‘Fly, you turkey, fly!’
