My name is ToJo

Today I feel like a worryless cat relaxing in the warmth of the sun from a window.

Sometimes I am a fixer

Sometimes I am a let's wait to see what happens-er

But always I am rooting for the solution that causes the maximum amount of comfort

I ask the world why make it harder than it needs to be?

And the answer is a worryless cat relaxing in the warmth of the sun from a window.

This is beautiful ToJo. "why make it harder than it needs to be" and the image of the cat relaxing in the sunshine. This feels almost like a meditation. Thank you for sharing.

My name is Karen.

Today I feel like a lone wolf in the forest.

Sometimes I am howling.

Sometimes I am silent.

But I am always purpose filled.

I ask the world” Why does evil exist?”

And the answer is:

So the howling wolf will finish crying in the forest.

Happy birthday, you magical firefly! And congratulations to Michael. What a beautiful reframe.

My name is Aransas

Today I feel like a fuzzy blanket

Soaking in the sun

Sometimes I am a Vata volcano

Sometimes I am a Kapha crumb

But always I am energy

I ask the world, “Wanna play?”

And the answer is

A probably maybe

Warming in the light
