Life is certainly never perfect, but I could feel the difference today when I was open versus when I was not. A warm tingling sensation deep within your chest exists when you accept all the universe offers.

This means both the “good,” and the “bad,” as we so commonly view life through that lens. But when conscientiously exerting presence and openness, that dichotomy quickly fades.

It dissolves into the most holistic reckoning of life I’ve ever experienced. Thank you Hawaii for making it easier for me to see this, and bringing it back to me.
