Stay Surprise-able ©Dawn Minott

Stay surprise-able

Let joy sneak up on you
Like the first breath of spring after a long winter
Like an old song you forgot you loved

Let wonder catch you off guard
Like a child chasing fireflies
Like laughter spilling out at the wrong moment

Loosen your grip on what must be
Let the unplanned
The unexpected
The beautifully uncertain
Reshape what you thought you knew

Not everything needs an explanation
Not every step needs a map
Some of life’s best moments
arrive unannounced,
wrapped in the ordinary,
waiting to be noticed

Let life interrupt your plans
Turn left when you expected right
Not every answer is yours to hold
Some things are best discovered
in the space between knowing and not knowing

So open your hands
Open your heart
And,
Stay surprise-able

Facebook reminded me of this post I made on that platform in 2019!!! Different platform, different dates, but the sentiments of the message remains the same — stay surprise-able!
