Immune

What is your next step?

Immune: Resistant to infection. Protected. Not affected or influenced.

You are a few trillion cells working together,
Swimming through an ocean-like environment.

Many trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, archaea,
And other beings are swimming too.

This ocean is toxic with chemicals
And vibrating with electromagnetic noise.

How have you made it this far?
Was it through hard work?
Luck?
Divine intervention?
Genetics?

Do you really know?

Take a moment to feel the fear
Swirling about right now.

Careful now—only dip in a toe,
Those are dangerous waters.

Now, take a moment to feel the love
That has brought you to now.

All the people, animals, plants, and beings.

All the love and laughter moments.

The sudden inspirations.

And sweet lullabies,

Weaving the web of strongest influence
Through your life.

You are already lined up with that influence,
My friend.

Recognize it and let it wash over you,
Clearing away the rest.

Have you decided to stay on this planet?
Then let’s get to work.

Your body can help you, if you give it a chance.

Feed it.
Exercise it.
Rest it. 

Nourish it with love, beauty, and hope.
Be inspired by what you can create.
Touch it lovingly and let others love you too.

Play.

And, please
Listen to it.

It is talking right now.
Are you listening?

What does YOUR body need?

What is today's step?  
Are you willing to take it?
