A friend recommended the movie The Penguin Lessons.  I love it.  I was then inspired to read the book The Penguin Lessons by Tom Mitchell that inspired the movie.  There are similarities, yes, a wonderful penguin, who changes people’s lives, but there is much more in the book, so I recommend both with maybe the book second, though who knows.  Notice what draws you.

Meanwhile, enjoy this poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.  

Spring Awakening

One day you wake up
able to name the weight
you’ve been carrying.

Realizing it’s not part of your body or your being,
not essential in any way to journeying or joy,
you set it down gently, without fanfare
in the long soft grass at the side of the road
and walk on

Surprised to find yourself
smiling in the warm sun
for no particular reason.
