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 [...]
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; [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
“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 [...]
It's a choice....falling in love. A choice. We choose. There has been a lot of underground movement occurring in my world of late...taking me away a bit from my writing, from the me I thought I was to whoever it is I am becoming. I'm 'in love' with arriving to new and better places....of consciousness, [...]
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 [...]
With the cool weather I'm back to my favorite several mile trek taking a little over an hour to cover the ground I choose. It's good time for me, moving, breathing, allowing my mind to wander as it will. And, like getting a good night of sleep, I wonder, 'how is it I forgot how [...]
I woke this morning, oooooh, after a long and luxurious sleep, my favorite...to a kind, thoughtful, sweet and loving note from a new friend. It was so different from the sort of communiques I've received over the past many years....in many ways. I sat with it, considering the sort of person who might write such [...]
Consider this. If you tune in, really tune in to what is unfolding in your life, can't you feel when things are shifting and turning, realigning in a sense. I'm not just talking when things seem to feel better, or you start getting along with your wife, or you get hired to a more fitting [...]
