Let's Go!

Another month on it's way out as a fresh batch of new nights and days await. Let's go! Whatcha got, September? Each 24 hour span of time holds surprises and the predictable. Predictability has it's merits per structure in daily life. When to come and go, stay, leave, retreat, rev-up your engine in anticipation of things to come ushers in another round of possibilities. Bring it on, the blessings, the beautiful big hearted ones with tender hearts and tough resolve to make life more livable and lovable, let's go!

Let's go for the gusto, the goodness, the wonder and wildly mysterious way's and means of life. The ups, down, in's and out's that make you think and question and be thankful for the comfortable, the cozy warmth, cool things, love, the care of others that can easily be overlooked and taken for granted. To stop and consider what freedom, peace, joy is ours is to be aware of things in life that is out of reach for countless people who pray for such priceless things.

FREE

To be Free is to be unencumbered. To have the freedom to be who you are without the judgement or disrespect of others is quite a wonderful thing. To be able to move about, to think for yourself and live a life that is without oppression or constraint is a privilege not bestowed on everyone. To practice your personal practices without interference from anyone is rich and something many people only dream of. 

To come and go here and there, do what you please anytime, anyplace with or without anyone are gifts that not everyone is allowed.  Countless variables like opportunities or lack of, upbringing, choices and fate. The air and light where freedom reigns or is absent varies and is seen and felt immediately. It can weigh heavy or be easy and easy to take for granted to remember it is not a given to everyone, everywhere. 

To live freely is to be blessed beyond measure, to appreciate freedom is to acknowledge something precious that tens of thousands of people have died to gain or protect and something many people might not ever be granted.

Thankfully

Another month another several days and weeks full of surprises and the predictable, the things we look forward to or dread. Another series of days and weeks that spill over to the next as each experience, event, activity, moment follows the next and the next in a mostly orderly manner. It's those moments that seem chaotic, out of control or overwhelming when one does well to simply stop, catch your breath, breathe, walk, talk or not, cry, pray, reflect on matters that are not so hard to get a hold of and reconcile, find peace in life's madness and sadness. 

Thankfully, as we remember to count blessings that make our travel mug run over. To be led by appreciation is to be blessed with the capacity to pull ourselves up and out of any darkness that pulls us down, enough for us to feel defeated and depleted. Thankfully, we know how to seek and find the light, the peace, joy, comfort, consolation in the mysteries that cause doubt and despair. In the final analysis, the more gratitude one harbors the more calm the nervous system is. 🧐

Certain Call

One or several things, thoughts, this and that to feel, see, take in and experience, like sunrise and sunset, a new moon growing into a big glowing thing occurs. The mixes, remixes and matches of people and places we can't imagine but we know are there, flash before our eyes.

The heart breaks and swells with warmth while the aches and pains stand in the wings awaiting their frequent curtain call. 

It helps to know yesterday is what was even as it still breathes a little life into today, hopefully in a refreshing way. 

We set our sights on new days and nights ahead, hopeful of goodness, peace, comfort, calm in the middle of the ugliness that dark forces would rather interrupt. It is in our favor to focus on the beauty, breath and depth of the wonders and miracles that surround us. 

Things that soothe our nervous system rather than aggravate and disturb us to the core.

Still Here

Still necessary, still absent and disregarded as important by too many who need it the most. Love, compassion, respect are more needed than ever and yet put off to the side. 

At the end of the day or night it is truly the love that will see us through the dark days and sleepless nights. The good thoughts of others, a prayer of words that will never be spoken out loud but felt and transmitted in amazing and effective ways enough to soothe a broken or weary heart. 

The love we offer and receive is still here, still free and essential to our survival and existence, as the air we breathe.

September

Come on in, I hope everything if not most things 

go well this coming month. 

I hope September presents the kind of challenges that render good outcomes and approached with practicality, patience and peace. Onward we go to seek and find what requires our presence, our own brand of goodness and love.

I hope you enjoy your stay and prove to be a nice month that includes learning and maintaining ways to move with appreciation for the comforts and conveniences I have.

Summertime

Baseball, hotdogs and hot dogs, swimming, fishing, fireworks, road trips and long lingering nights are all part of the season. Time to squeeze in extra fun be it in the back yard, front porch or any green space or body of water that offers shade from the blazing sun and cool air from the thick heat. 

Summer days and nights seem easier to take as the season calls for shorts, t shirts, sandals and the ever present sneakers that workout nicely in any weather. There is a fun component to summer that harkens the days and weeks between last school year and the next. It is a reprieve from the grind of school bells, text books and people that forget their manners. Peer pressure of some sort looms as students try to stay on top of the latest trend but the summer is casual, laid back, mostly unhurried with no knuckle head classmates who like to cause havoc.

Summertime is a good time to start something new, accomplish things you thought you couldn't do last summer and meet new challenges that come with changing seasons and times that make great memories. Hope your summer is going well and you are staying cool and comfy.

Behold

Behold the moon reflecting the sunlight all creamy dreamy, lunar caldo. Funny not funny how puny earth is, how the moon, mars, the sun, stars and such surround us suspended in the vastness, vulnerable af, yet acting so smarty pants, reckless, like the wild wild west of the cosmos. dang

Peaceful Places

April flew by. The day's scurry on, the good, bad and ugly. The frightening, fantastic frenzy of life. It catches up with you until you reach critical mass and start looking for way's to be happy, get something out of life in the way of joy.  You wonder why things are the way they are, the uncertainties, the cruelty and unfairness in the world. 

There is light though through the mirky waters, the uncanny way people can come through for each other, lifting and separating, transforming the doubt and dismal to a peaceful place brought about through a gesture of simple kindness however fleeting. It becomes a long lasting moment that made a big impact. Forgiveness tolerance, patience are required of us what we sow is what we reap. The challenge among many is to cultivate a healthy perspective. 

Since we are at the epicenter of the world it behooves us to maintain a happy medium and enjoy life versus weighing ourselves down with dread, disdain and negativity. Simply stated, Peace, Love, Joy, it's what's for dinner!
