Being and Becoming
You are not a moment
You are not a singularity
You are everything you’ve ever been
And everything you could be
You are not who you were
And that is beautiful
You are not a picture
You are the event
Like the sunrise
Like the stars wheeling
Like music
You are beautiful because you are not what you were
You are beautiful because you are
Constantly
Irrevocably
In a state of being and becoming

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with ♥ LOVE ♥, ✿ GRACE ✿, and ★ GRATITUDE ★.

When you actively engage in gradually refining yourself, you retreat from your lazy ways of covering yourself or making excuses. Instead of feeling a persistent current of low-level shame, you move forward by using the creative possibilities of THIS moment, your current situation. You begin to fully inhabit this moment, instead of seeking escape or wishing that what is going on were otherwise. You move through your life by being thoroughly IN it.
