"LIVE LIGHTLY" came to me one day whilst making dinner...
I didn't understand it at all...it just surfaced from
somewhere deep of inside me and wouldn't go away. I
toyed with it, whispering to myself over and over again:
Live lightly
LIVE lightly
Live LIGHTLY
..putting the emphasis at different places.
Was I being channeled? What did it mean? How strange.
It took me weeks to figure it out for myself as it kept
resurfacing into my daily consciousness.
This is what I concluded:
Wear your life lightly on your shoulders.
Try not to carry the weight of the world
on them. I tend to do that, and at those
times that little phrase comes back to bite
me in the bum and puts some perspective on
things that tend to bother me most.
'Live lightly' can mean whatever you want
it to mean.

- i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.
