See the future in your dreams today.

Do it with joy and excitement.

Live with those images in every moment.

Be the laughter and happiness of the day.

Smile when you hit a red light and recognize that may have been the stop that saved you from the accident that may have taken your or someone else’s life.

I’ve always thought challenges would be big, huge and I would see them coming towards me like a truck in a narrow alleyway.

They aren’t like that, in fact, they sneak up and surround you when you are kicking back in your recliner, lounging by the pool, or just having a comfortable dinner at home.

They grab you slowly and next thing you know you are consumed by the craziness, baffled by where it came from and focused on how to get out.

You struggle and squirm as it savagely rips through your heart tearing at the source of who you are…testing the truth within.

Then it happens…peace. No more struggle as you glide through the craziness with ease and it melts into nothingness.

Your journey is your journey

You can share your experiences and you can share your moments

But your experiences are not my experiences

Your moments are not my moments

You can describe how you feel and you can provide  the steps and “how-tos” that brought you into enlightenment.

You can write a book and make a fortune sharing what you learned.  But it won’t be how I feel even if I try to walk down the same road.

Instead, I will walk down my path…you yours and we will meet at the same place in the end.

Filled with insights of a lifetime

Ready to share again.

I get that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.  I’ve thought about it many times.  But why?  If we are a spark from the source of all things the end game would not be about “returning to the source”.

It’s about the human experience.  This is what should take precedence over the spiritual one.  We should embrace the layers of suffering that we encounter — those moments that are difficult and challenging — those moments that are fabulous and filled with beauty.  Those experiences, those moments create and develop our humanness.  Those experiences make us human.

I believe it is about the path we walk through while being human that then gives us our purpose and our reason for being.

Discovering our spiritual path is only the beginning, living our spiritual path within our humanness is our purpose.

I don’t think you have to leave your world to go on your quest.

I believe you can live where you live, work where you work, be where you are and still go on your journey.

 I thought, once in life, taking the journey meant leaving your comfortable existence…renouncing all comforts and living in poverty, hike until you found the right cave in which to ponder the thoughts of life, getting divorced and travel in the manner of “Eat, Pray, Love”.

But this is not the way to do it.  That would be taking on someone else’s journey and path and claiming it as your own—just read the book and you will read the answers.

Although, the answers are the writer’s…perhaps you should just ask the questions.

I have always expected something big to happen.

But now I realize the biggest insights are within the smallest touches of life.

Moments of silence and testing of words

Skipping around those that are comfortable

Tip-toeing around those that are not

Feeling them — like a Dance

Some fly and swirl and spin,  some get the rhythm, but not the beat

They are elusive without passion

Trickling up and down the page

Frozen bitter and brittle

Crystallized icicles

Melting with the touch of the pen

What type of site will this be?

Summarize your Life into a Single Word

Lived or Existed

It’s going to be that type of site.
