What Is It About You?

What is it about you that you love?
What is it about you that enjoy?
What is it about you on the days you feel your highest?
What is it about you when you smile without thinking of it?
What is it about us that enjoys the happiness of others?
What is it about us that feels weightless when we feel good?
What is it about us that carries good news rather than bad when we feel better than sad?
It is us in our higher form.
It is us when we know we can.
It is us when we can see ourselves do something and the path feels clair:
That is Clair, as in Clean Air.
It is us when we take care of what we have inside enough to have space to breath
And take in a moment
And recognize that “Yes, I am happy right now”,
This is what I have been working towards and planning for.
It is here right now and if I don’t stop and recognize it now,
When will I?
It is us when we feel free enough to know some things will never be done
And we can live with that.
That some things are meant to finish and that was their purpose.
That change is why we are here
And growth is a good thing.
It is us when we know what we know and we rest with it.
That we don’t know what we don’t know
And that is OK, too.
It is us breathing and in our breaths
Feeling alive enough
To say “thank you” to ourselves
For taking care of us for so long,
Through all we have been through
And trust we know enough to continue
And look forward to
And stop racing towards
however, living within
All that is in life
Without the strings of ‘not now’ attached to everything.
It is about truth in our hearts that life is open to us
As we learn to open ourselves to what it offers.
