Cheers

In the Monday morning mail box…

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray. – Rumi

That “strange pull” is The Way of the Watercourse nudging you toward the flow from the self-centered trance of the eddies. You’ll know your “letting go” is working by the smile inside you making its way to your face.

...good cheer might not revolutionise the future, as Emerson suggested, but it can render the present tolerable, and bring us together in a time of isolation. It can even transform the impersonality of digital connection, making room for genuine, if often fleeting, expressions of community identity....cheerfulness is a form of emotional power that should not be overlooked. It is not the ‘hope’ of the messianic, or the ‘optimism’ of the cheap politician. It makes more modest promises – to get you through the next few hours, to connect you to a neighbour. You can’t build a politics on it. But you probably can’t rebuild a world without it. – Timothy Hampton
