Remain Curious

I wonder what would happen...
if you simply remained curious.

When fear creeps in...
instead of believing in it
you watch it...and remain curious.

When worry arises...
you stop focusing on it,
become very quiet inside...and remain curious.

When negative thinking and contracted feelings
take over your whole body and mind,
and you don't react by participating in the drama and act it out.
You simply breathe deeply, feel it,
be present to the energy arising...and remain curious.

I wonder what kind of week you would have
if this was how you responded to every challenging
person, thought and experience that you encounter.

I wonder what would happen to your life
if you got into the habit of remaining curious
before reacting to anything that upsets you?

What kind of world would this be
if this was how we all responded to each other?
It feels like a more peaceful planet already...
