We come alive and die a million times in our lifetimes.

Why worry about what’s across the yet-closed door

Wait not in fear or in blind eagerness for it to open;

Live this now as your purpose here is yet to fulfil.

Ignore the door… follow your heart!

 

Wisdom from souls who know

Say angels fly as they take themselves lightly

Of being at ease… so that you will traverse far

Knowing the roots are steady on the ground.

Soar in the sky sensing the wind in your wings.

Stay on course… don’t succumb.

Life is better the moment you realize

Its value in every now.

 

So, when worry and despair imbalances your thoughts,

When anguish and self-doubt rock your self-esteem,

Rest assured it shall all pass and time will get you over the brink.

Just care to have faith and ease up your thoughts,

And choose to live dancing lightly with life.

 

One of my favourite quotes that deeply influenced me is by G.K. Chesterton: “Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.”

I have often wondered about the quote and its meaning. The poem above is dedicated to this thought of ‘living in the lightness of being’.
