I was having a late lunch at my favorite neighborhood cafe where they always give me my favorite table in the corner by the window and let me sit as long as I want drinking coffee or whatever. I was reading The Red Book, focus on which became increasingly difficult when the table of young women next to me got louder and louder. At first I was annoyed. And then a thought struck me (thank you, Sera).

Instead of being - or staying - annoyed at the noise the exuberant young women at the next table were making, why not tap into that energy, participate in their exuberance? I may not have been a part of their conversation but why not appreciate the beauty of their laughter, let it lift my feelings of hope and happiness to the universe? Because Goddess knows - she couldn't help but hear it!
