I love doing the signs that mean something special to someone, even if I don't know exactly what it means to them or the story behind it. It feels so special to work on something that's going to catch someone's breath or inspire them to greatness or remind them how important they are, every time they see it.
I don't know the story behind "Be Easy" for this young woman in Wisconsin but I love what it has come to mean for me this week as I worked on it. Several years ago I found a woman named Julia Rogers Hamrick who lives in this magical place called Easy World. It's the place where things unfold smoothly, flowingly, where even the bumps and bruises of daily life are handled gracefully and effortlessly. How does one get to Easy World? By taking a deep breath and saying "I choose to live in Easy World where everything is easy." Shitstorms become manageable, chaos fades into the background, even scary things like grief and loss suddenly are contained in a giant reservoir of grace. Decisions are made efficiently, knotted schedules work themselves out and I am suddenly super-woman, minus the stress.
Generally I live in Difficult World, where you may have guessed, everything is difficult. But my passport and portal into Easy World is always open and available - when I remember to "breathe, relax, allow and enjoy."
"Be Easy" to me is a gentle loving reminder that it is only my resistance to what is that makes life difficult. Easy is a state of being. My true nature, the Deva within, is Easy incarnate. It is only when I forget who I am and start to believe my ego's made up stories about how the way it's suppose to be that things get difficult.
Easy is about how I handle and react. It's not about what I am handling and reacting to.
So take a deep breath darlings, join me in Easy World. It's very Red here.
In Grace,
Kell
