Second day in a row of a letter that we have not ventured into, well at least to start a word. All those Hopes had O's.
But as I considered the word Open I grew to like it more and more and can imagine it happening one day.
- To be open to yourself so that you can be open to others.
- To be open to new adventures no matter the uncertainty to where it will take you.
- To be open to change, to refuse to be stagnant.
- To be open to what the other side is saying so that middle ground can be found.
- To be open to love.
- To be open to a God that may not be the God you have been told about.
- To be open to your part of disasters.
- To be open to those who want to know you.
- To be open to new music, new art, new neighbors, new bosses, ...
- To be open to your imperfections
- To be open to your talents
- To be open to challenges you would rather avoid
- To be open to the idea that your true self is ready to emerge.
- To be open that you must let go to find that true self.
Imagine being open.

ReplyDeleteI really like your post. What it makes me think of is being open-hearted and open-minded mostly, and I prize those two qualities very highly.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, when I read your post, I heard a line from a poem in my head that I had to look up.
Edwin Markham. Outwitted.
"He drew a circle to shut me out,
heretic rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win,
we drew a circle that took him in."
That is the kind of open-hearted and open-minded that I want to be. Loved your post! Look forward to reading more.
What a wonderful sentiment on open. All such good suggestions. Love your glass O, too... Broncos colors!!! (ha ha)
