In general the role of the emotions is to invite in that which is nurturing, welcome and healthy and to keep out that which is unwelcome, dangerous and toxic.

May the light of your soul guide you; May the light of your soul bless the work you do with the secret love and warmth of your heart; May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul; May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work; May your work never weary you; May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement; May you be present in what you do. May you never become lost in the bland absences; May the day never burden; May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises; May evening find you gracious and fulfilled; May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected; May your soul calm, console and renew you.

My own self-imposed rules were simple — step outside, observe with intentionality, embrace awe. Here's how it went.

"Sadly, non-attachment or detachment is radically misunderstood by many. Non-attachment actually brings about the most profound sense of care, compassion, and freedom you could ever imagine.

THE BEAUTY OF NON-ATTACHMENT
When you understand the true meaning of non-attachment:

Expectations no longer rule your life.
Emotions arise, but you have space.
You have perspective.
Emotions don’t catch and torment you every time.
You relate to the world as it is rather than to your concepts about it, which never bring lasting happiness.
You have a clarity of mind so you’re able to see through to the truth of things.
You’re not bothered by much, but that doesn’t mean you tolerate harmful behavior.
The problems of this world evoke compassion rather than anger.
You don’t chase after happiness.
You just enjoy it when it’s present, and release it when it dissolves.
You’re able to allow life to unfold without needing to control everything.
You don’t stop loving.
You love even more.
Your heart only grows bigger and bigger and bigger, when you see all the unnecessary suffering in this world.
You feel naturally compelled to help, but you’re not attached to the outcome.
The sense of spaciousness and freedom you feel bring a genuine contentment that can never be found in temporary experiences."

“Fire can warm or consume, water can quench or drown, wind can caress or cut.
And so it is with human relationships: we can both create and destroy,
nurture and terrorize, traumatize and heal each other.”
~ Bruce D. Perry

God, help me remember that the way to live a life filled with wonder and awe is to surrender to and live each moment fully, expecting and allowing each one to simply be what it is.
