And if you knew you were dying soon…

2010-11-16T00:21:40-07:00By |Expansion|

How would you conduct your life? We've all considered this, or pondered the thought at least momentarily. I would fret so much less over the seeming big things which distract me, make me sad, frightened or upset. I'd say 'what the hell'. Honestly, 'what the hell'. Who really cares, I'm gonna die soon anyhow. How [...]

The Real Reason

I was reminded as I sat quietly this early morning....a full day ahead of me of relative freedom.... Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; [...]

And then the net lifted.

I'm enamored (is that the correct word this morning) with the process of being human on this planet. Enamored isn't the best word, but it'll have to do for the moment. I felt a net lift from my myopic view of the world this week. Some things became crystal clear. And if not CRYSTAL clear, [...]

The offense of taking offense.

When I'm stressed out, I can't breathe. It all makes perfect sense. One of our most basic functions is breathing. We don't think about it much until it becomes difficult. I've grown tired this week of the human race. I'm finding people to be lacking in grace, forgiveness, understanding and compassion. I'm disappointed to my [...]

Gratitude

“Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” Kahil Gibran He had it right. Simple, true. I will remember that as I face the 'entitled' this day, the ones who push beyond fair measure. I will remember instead to lovingly stand my ground, say no where it is [...]

Speechless….BB Speechless???…

Well, the world MIGHT stop on its axis would that be true....indeed, oooooh indeed, things are a'brewin.... and I take a pause to reflect a moment on it all. I take a deeeep breath and sit awhile. Something which ALSO happens far fewer than I hope it might in time. I'll intend it so! For [...]

The Many Parts of We

2010-09-20T21:37:13-06:00By |Relationships|

I am considering this evening the many parts of we....all of us, me, the people I know, the ones I know well, others not so, and the new ones gracing my world who I'm eager to know better.....then I consider, that less confident side of myself....'.if I don't muck up!' Quite a comment for [...]

Opportunity

2010-09-19T22:25:38-06:00By |Change, Possibility and Intention|

Might we consider the opportunities available to us everyday. I was considering today how many ways there are to look at any one situation. How many ways there are to look at a person. At ourselves. At the world I suppose. I'm lately noticing my own perceived limitations. Lovely really, for then I have an [...]

Men…..Women, Hearts and Minds

2010-09-12T22:11:07-06:00By |Compassion|

We all know we are different, men and women. I'm thinking today about really how we are the same, though come at our desires and needs differently. I'll venture to say that even with sexuality, with a commensurate blend of mind and heart, men AND women seek fulfillment of pleasure, (yep, satisfaction) and connection there [...]
