My trick for loving animate and inanimate objects and the atoms that make them up

When I enter a space with animate and inanimate objects, I pretend I'm entering Pee Wee's Playhouse.  Everything has friendly googley eyes on it and a wide, grinning smile.  Silently I'm my head I say to everything,"Hey there!!  What's up, guys!!!!?"  Then I imagine they all respond at once, cheering,"Hi there, Matt Daly!!!!"  Then I say in my head,"Hi there, everybody!!!  I hope you're having a good day today!!"  And they cheer,"We *are* having a good day today, Matt Daly!!  We hope you're having a good day today, too!!"  "Why thank you, animate and inanimate objects!!  And how are you doing, all you little atoms that make up everything up??"  Then I imagine I can see all the individual atoms in objects and beings.  They, too, have googley eyes and wide grinning, teethy smiles.  "Hi there, Matt Daly!!  We're doing great!!!  We hope you're doing great, too!!"  "Why thank you, individual atoms!!  That's so nice of you to say!!"  The End.
