Plunge

Life, is a vast world of experiences, from the simple, subtle, sublime to the most exhilerating or excruciating times. We plunge into the depths of life in search of moments that satisfy the soul and are fulfilling. Then something changes, shifts occur, unexpectedly challenges rush in like a tsunami, with little to no warning.                         
To approach the day eager to take it on, head and heart first is ideal, to blast-off in the hopes of happy landings as other realities find us taking a nose dive, floundering, struggling.
One forward motion after the other we somehow manage to emerge from the turbulence, we hope stronger, wiser, more resiliant than ever and we pray better for the wear and tear.    

So much of tomorrow depends on what and how we go about today. We dream and hope for the best, that we are able to catch our breath, stand tall and lift-up our spirits to the peace and quiet our hearts crave and long for, at the end of the day.

                                                         

  "When the power of love overcomes the love of power,

the world will know peace." 

~  Jimi Hendrix

Memories

Memories come alive and take over the present moment. In an instant a thought turns into a scene from the past, flashbacks tug on your heartstrings and leave you yearning for more of those moments we wanted to last forever, like the people who have preceeded us in death and whom we love so dearly, still ~

Soft In the Middle

Paul Simon, you know Paul Simon, formerly of Simon & Garfunkel fame... both great song writers and composers. Came across this little-ditty recently. "A man walk's down the street ~ He say's; why am I soft in the middle? The rest of the world is so hard" Spoke to me.

Another month winds down, as the Spring and Summer gear-up. Change is as constant as time, it moves in slow motion and speed races along. The quality of our day's, our general mood and whether or not it is a good day or bummer- has everything to do with the attitude we harbor, the thoughts we allow to take-up space in our head, at any given time, in any given circumstance. Perspective matters a great deal and easily determines the overall quality of what and how things take place during the course of the day.

"Whether one believes in a religion or not,

and whether one believes in rebirth or not,

there isn't anyone who doesn't

appreciate kindness and compassion.

~ Dalai Lama
