Words from a Simple Heart Responsible living carries the burden of finding answers and making choices the best of our ability. The weight is sometimes heavy, almost unmanageable, but we manage. Then, as if we don't have enough to bear, we add more burdens, more weight. Unwanted weight. Unnecessary weight. The extra poundage is heavy for good reason. It signifies the need for change. It's time to lighten the load. Let go of that hobo stick you carry over your shoulder and listen for the thud when the bundle of fear tied to the end of it - hits the ground. Remove that cumbersome coat of envy that keeps you from participating in the joy of those around you. Unclasp that green chain of jealousy from around your neck and release its painful coldness from your skin. Kick off those big boots of anger that make a harsh clomping sound wherever you go. Stop hiding beneath all that bulk and bother. Start shedding some of that unwanted weight. Add some joy to the serious business of living. Lighten your load!
