Life is so wonderful. Right now I have this person in my life that brings me buckets of joy and laughter. This morning while she was praying for me, I heard her say, “Easy, peasy, yippy, skippy! It’s done!” Of course, I had to laugh while she is being seriously reverent.
After it was over, I asked her about the words and she told me that they were the words used in order to achieve enlightenment faster. Whoa! Isn’t that what we all want…faster!
In my religious training, I was taught to say, “And so it is” instead of “Amen,” at the end of my prayers. But I have to tell you, that “easy, peasy, yippy, skippy” works just as good.
My early teacher, use to tell us that if we wanted to be enlightened, we need to lighten up considerably. We use to talk and laugh about what that meant. Did it mean to not take anything too seriously? Or not be responsible in life? Or did it mean to just blow it all off?
Easy, peasy, yippy, skippy gave me a great insight to all of this. It is to seriously lighten up on everything in life. Yes, it means to stay accountable, responsible and all the other “serious” stuff, but to apply it all lightly.
Easy, peasy, yippy, skippy! It’s done! Thank you, God, easy, peasy, yippy, skippy. Can you see the light flowing from above? Can you see my enlightened halo?
So, imagine with me the cartoon where the guy climbs the mountain to ask the Guru the secret of life. The Guru replies, “Easy, peasy, yippy, skippy…just be grateful for everything that shows up in your life.” Cool! Seems to me to be an easy way to experience the joy and laughter of life.
