Sunday 09

april 26, 2026

Hi! Happy Sunday. :) It was warm outside. I had a weekend off after what felt like a really long time. The sun was out. It felt like everything aligned into perfection for me. Isn’t it so amazing when it feels like the universe conspires totally just for you. I’m reminded of the simplicity that each of us is very unique and the Divine and the Universe and whatever energy that you believe in that is constantly looking over us is constantly looking out for each and every one of our unique needs.

That’s like billions of people. And how wonderful to know that we too deserve all of that attention? That personal, individualized, unique attention. When it feels like everything else isn’t hitting that right stride, somehow or another we’re gifted a few moments of true perfection.

It was a busier weekend than I actually wanted it to be. I didn’t really get all of the things that I wanted to get done, done. But, alas that is the folly of someone who has a hard time being okay with not doing anything. We’re constantly adding more to our to-do list than what can actually fit into the day, am I right? But!

But, I did decide I needed to take myself out. I needed to take a moment and just commune with this beautiful world in which we live. I needed to remember what I am and why I exist. I needed a moment to just feel the sun on my face without any distractions. So, that’s exactly what I did. I grabbed a coffee with my book and a few art supplies and trotted down to a local gem of an outdoor space and just hung out.

Just a few hours spent sitting on grass and walking through gardens reminded me how incredibly gorgeous our planet is. Sometimes I can’t help but just stare at the colors and vibrancy with which the flowers showcase their own uniqueness. Have you ever tried capturing the true color of grass? Sure, master artists have replicated it, but can we say that it’s the exact same? IDK. I don’t think we can.

It just truly astonishes me.

And I think we all need to sit in that astonishment from time to time. We have to be reminded on a very deep level that life is precious and beautiful. That we are meant to be be bright and vibrant. That we too have colors that no one can replicate. And if I’m being honest, I think this is the crux of what Ayurveda is trying to teach us. We’re unique. But beyond that, our uniqueness is woven into this tapestry of nature that we are a part of. Not separate from.

Everything in this existence is attempting to create more and more separation. Parties and clans, and cultures, and races, and the list goes on and on and on and on. At what point does it get too much? Maybe now. Maybe in a few years.

But maybe we need to come back to our true Self. The one that is a part of something so grand and magnanimous that we can’t even fathom its grandiosity! I think this is what I was feeling when I was watching the astronauts circle the moon. This universe and galaxy is incredible. And we all have a part to play. But that part isn’t any better than or worse off than our neighbor, friend, partner, mom, dad, anything. It’s all of equal importance.

I think we’ve just forgotten that. And the only way to reconnect with that same energy is to really just be in awe.

Let your breath be taken away. Stand near a mountain, go for a walk without devices. Stop and don’t just smell the roses, but look at the intricateness of each petal. Get close to the ground and wonder at the size and shapes of rocks and gravel. Stare out into the sky and just feel the connection with the stars and moon. We’re not separate from any of these things.

We’re just all a part of it.

And sometimes, we just need to be reminded of that.

Here’s to a beautiful week.
