Exist Loudly
Today I am grateful for the sights and sounds of an early morning thunderstorm. They match my emotions and they also remind me that like rain cleanses, tears do too.
On our recent trip to Colorado, my niece Katie and I made a stop at one of the local coffee shops. The barista had a small tattoo on her arm. It read "Exist loudly."
Exist loudly. Embrace the day and all it brings. Seize joy when it comes along. Embrace pain and console it until it eases. Run like the wind, or at least as your aging body allows. Take a deep breath of fresh air. Smile broadly. Laugh boisterously.
Pause. Turn the volume up on a favorite song. Delve deeply into whatever feeling is emerging. Be honest, rigorously honest with self. See the wonder and curiosity in the face of a child. Watch the sun set.
Exist loudly. Fully exist in the moment at hand. Loud in awe and in quiet. This loudness is about depth and genuineness.
That's what came out this morning. Let's all go and exist loudly in our own ways today.
