For the Optimists at Heart: Everything is Profoundly and Radiantly Well

You are being invited to listen more closely to your own joy. Do not dismiss your laughter as a fleeting emotion or a distraction from the “real” work of living. Instead, recognize it as the primary evidence of your Enlightenment. Every time you laugh, a small part of the universe has become conscious of its own perfection.

The sound of truth of waking up is the most hopeful noise in existence. It is the trust that no matter how deep the sleep of ignorance is, the light of knowing remains. It tells you that the truth is not a cold, distant fact, but a warm, living energy that desires to be known. When you allow yourself to be moved by the wonderful irony of being alive, you are participating in that which “is”. You are becoming the instrument through which the infinite plays itself the most beautiful note, always topping the most beautiful note.

Carry this clarity with you. When the world feels heavy and the path seems dark, look for the tilt of the head, the spark in the eye, and the rising breath that precedes a laugh. It is there that the truth is stirring, ready to break the silence and remind you that everything is, in its deepest essence, profoundly and radiantly well.
