DAY 19

my mind is too busy, therefore i am confused. toa of pooh

sjoe! this should be a breeze (not). 'don't force it! don't be desperate! just be... aah that feels better already.' this is the self talk i've been having all week, & it's going to be a process, but the great thing is, it has already begun!

i read a little smackerel this morning, & it goes something like this:
i was out walking one day, when i noticed the rapid pursuit of a nearby stream. she was rushing, pushing, & forcing her way into as much as she possibly could. as i continued my walk along the bank, the stream became a quiet river, no longer shoving & exerting herself upon her surroundings, but simply being & embracing. making way for all that is natural. i asked her, 'why so still now, river?'
she replied, 'i was of little wisdom before, but have grown since & realised that everything is as it should be, & i will arrive at my destiny without enforcing my will upon it.'

how fantastic this gift of life! i am overwhelmed at the simplicity of living! yet, it will take some undoing & letting go of a lot of things that have complicated & entangled the simplicity of life.

here's to our journey! it is a good one!

DAY 18

to be or not to be
that is the question...
whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer            (my mind is occupied with victory)
the slings & arrows of outrageous fortune,
or to take arms against a sea of troubles           (i set myself free to live in peace)
& by opposing end them. to die - to sleep,
no more; & by a sleep to say we end               (heart-ache is winter to my soul, that is followed by spring)
the heart-ache & the thousand natural shocks
that flesh is heir to...

there are many interpretations to this quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, but here is mine...

when this quote ran through my thoughts, my conscious began to put the tiny pieces of authentic self together.

am i the person that my exterior influences & circumstances, followed by my inner processes & re-actions to them, made me to be? or am i the authentic me that i was created for?

do i want to be me or someone else's version of me? 
to be your authentic, original design, or to be who your world pushed  & shoved you into being... the people in our world are hurting & we have the ointment to assist in the healing process. how brave are you?

will i use my authentic healing balm, that could mean the difference of life to a starving soul, to touch or will i keep it to myself & watch it go to waist in my treasure chest of secrets meant to be shared. decay will be the result in the deepest recesses of my soul?

shouting for joy in my being as i embrace my purpose & destiny!!!

DAY 16

the blue period...
blue = trust, respect, faith, acceptance, purification,compassion, understanding, prophecy, belief, grace, recovery.

WOW! fantastic! hope i don't ever use blue to describe a bad day again!

moving towards the green period now, & that would be...
green = renewal, growth, birth, health, idealism, safety, good fortune, productivity, survival, prosperity, spiritual development, fertility.

every part of our journey is important, moving in an unlimited unique spectrum of beautiful colour that is essential to the kaleidoscope (beautiful form) of living interaction!

whoop whoop! happy green journey! - a 1000 mile journey starts with one step. 'Tou of Pooh'.

many thanks to each one of the beautiful people in my life, for making this journey so great! much, much, much love to you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DAY 14

where is the map?

abuse! do we deserve it? we all know the answer to that question, but do we truly live it?
where does it start & where do you draw the line?

it starts with me... accepting these lies:
i'm not going out with you dressed like that, i'll be ashamed to be seen with you!
i don't have time for you, i'm too busy making money!
i don't like your friends.
i'm not interested in listening to you when you need to talk.
people are not ready for you yet, & they don't understand you.
your not good enough.

ENOUGH! lift up your head! remove the mask! stop allowing people to make you ashamed of who you are!

it ends with me... refuse the lies:
the map is within us! the truth is being declared now!

i am proud to be by your side, & to be seen with you, even on your worst day!
i am here for you any time you need me! i support your journey!
the people around you have goodness in them, embrace them!
you have such interesting things to say & i enjoy listening to you because your views are unique!
you were born for a time such as this, & i encourage you to spread your wings & fly!
you are more than enough!

love yourself, it's your gift to the world!

DAY 13

when reality strikes... go with the flow, it will lead you somewhere.

not a single moment was wasted in your design. a lot of care & attention was given to every detail & continues to be given. how can the journey of you have ended somewhere or never even have begun? impossible!!!? perhaps the deception lies within the sensuous perception of an external object involving a false belief of worthlesness?

infinitely precious! (boundless, endless, very great, innumerable, very many, not limited by a person or number). this describes you, me, them, others,we, us! in communicating this message to the spirit, soul, & body the impact of this truth goes beyond all measurement to every dimension know & unknown. the result... priceless! well worth IT ALL!

striving to love infinitely without regret

Vision

DAY 12

when the light hurts my eyes...

i look for a place where the light won't find me & then i wait expectantly for the pain to go away. why did she leave me? 3 days of darkness, like christ in the tomb, then the light gently comes to greet me on the fourth day.
"i went looking for these gifts!" she says. "here is love for you, & look here is JOY! do you see that it was necessary for me to go away, & for you to wait in the darkness?"
"yes light, i understand, because at the breaking of the dawn i found the right place at the right time! thank you for going away, just long enough, for me to see better. i have clearer vision now!"

"for every action there is an equal & opposite re-action!" for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard. sir isaac newton.

from darkness to light!!! from the laws of physics to the freedom of life & living!

Vision

DAY 11

a crumpled piece of paper...

a sheet of paper, it's potential is endless! the creative process begins, but it doesn't take on the form that was imagined, so it gets crumpled up & aimed at the bin. missed! someone walks by, sees the discarded piece of paper & ignores it - "that's someone elses problem." another person walks by, notices the paper, but gets distracted; "i don't have time." yet another person walks by & from somewhere, a whisper; "more than you think." this is enough to inspire a stop, & bend down to retrieve the crumpled piece of paper...

what does he see when he unfolds the paper & irons out the creases? a signed picasso doodle? a child's impression of a happy moment? whatever would make you feel like you have discovered a priceless treasure... that would be on the paper!

there is great value in each of us!
