Shifting Gears

As seasons change people change ready or not. The weather the places we are called to and the people we are drawn to all play a big part in the progression of our days and weeks that slide into seasons. Our bodies and minds meanwhile attempt to wrap around new ideas and approaches to stay in sync with the shifting times.

It all adds up to 365 days twelve months in the yearly calander that comprise four seasons however subtle or strong the tides. The variances in the weather, peoples moods, associated memories  and the goings on in our lives at any given moment in flux. We move forward hopeful about the coming days and newness of the season. It is a transitional time to rethink, redo, revise perhaps rewind things that require change resplendant with new and improved ways of embracing in stead of resisting new horizons, new opportunities to make life better if not the very best it can be.

PEACE

PEACE is a place in our hearts, souls, minds and in the world, it creates change, awareness, strength and stability it thrives in positive environments and seeks to dwell in quiet places. It has the capacity to balance what is uneven and can right a wrong. It longs to keep company with life's light and hastens away if not regarded as important. *It is prayerful and blessed, full of grace supercharged with fierce intention, blind faith and the power to still a savage storm and tame the cruelest conditions. It is available and eager to be discovered during moments of unrest and strain although elusive as the wind it is accessible as one's own thoughts, it is a must have life-saving necessity, a force and matter of self preservation. *Peace is essential to a solid state of mind and best obtained by it's own definition; peacefully and with respect to the precious nature of it's very existence.

The Story of Life

The thoughts, concepts, philosophies, practices and beliefs of people truly amaze me, from the depths of despair to shear delight and the thick creamy waves of desire, there exists a passion for life with the truly great thinkers of the ages. The words and teachings of such minds, bursts forward in words, in art, science, the expression of humanity reveals a heart stopping, mind blowing creation. The story of life begs many questions; where does it begin, how will it end, what keeps it going and who will contribute to or take away from this place, the planet we inhabit and cling to with our lives?

Here is an example of someone who rode into the rodeo on a great rocking horse named Music, his words wrangled, mangled, twisted and shouted across the sheet, pages full of observations, some silly, some wise, wonderful and brilliant. The lyrics sung sweetly and strong are still spread around the arena of the world like sawdust, the notes, melody, rhythm, rebellious nature of the song thrust forth, untamed and unaffected by constraint.
