A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking.
They may get you thinking too . . .
Kismet, naturally or unexpectedly, holds sway on this or any other day. If we choose to notice. If we permit ourselves to linger a moment or three in a transitive state between elements of darkness and bright, morning quells emotions and disruptive thoughts we once embraced.
Dented, bruised, scuffed up and circumstantial, the imperfections are obvious. It goes past superficial. Seeking more than a cover-up, healing is necessary. Hope is less than present but needed, so I try to do what I need to do. Each attempt to repair the damage that is done — the day-in-day out flaws that have become ingrained in my psyche — is another step. It takes effort. It takes encouragement, and it takes understanding even if I can’t completely comprehend the history that led up to the marks on the façade. I need to do the work. At times trying is the best I can do when I know I want to do better.
‘When’ is a question greater than ‘why’. Important it is to know ‘when’ something will happen, rather than ‘what’ or ‘where’, because ‘when’ always involves a wait (that’s ‘when’ the ‘why’ kicks in). Our patience is tested. ‘When will we get there’ or ‘when is it time’? Both questions of our youth, at least, questions of mine. Spring has arrived, but ‘when’ will it come? The weather still indicates winter is hardly done. How can we wait, or ‘why’ is it we must? You might only find the answers ‘when’ you are ready to trust.
The spiral notion of reflections knowing the truth lives within the present essences Seeing the country’s history revisiting… From the Revolutionary war on sovereignty and freedom from oppression to the Civil War about immigration and slavery… individual rights of the states. The equality of people and treatment… being of race and women.
Wounds need healing upon knowing and acknowledgment to change to another and different forms yet to be a comfort.
From where we are and where we would like to be.
Spinning the in and out of illusions and false words, I continue to search for my part within these creations, know the time is slowly changing all that is now. Focus on the positive essences of truth I do see. The increasing voices of the many seeking to be heard with all the noise of the chaos.
Time magazine named Journalists as the people of the year… looking for the truth and paying the price for it.
Artists, writers, and creative people have always shown the truth to us. We all are looking for that truth, within ourselves and the world. It is a scary place right now. America…the world is broken. America is the world leader is broken in a fractured piece of its past that remained unhealed from the uncertainty of the Revolutionary War; to the immigration/slavery issues of the Civil War; to suffrage movement for women and the citizens wonder why? Every opportunity is available or is it?
Choices, chances, and decisions create our individual paths with our beliefs pushing us forward or holding us back. Yet I trust the processes the humanity must go through to get itself heading for the betterment.
I take time to witness, listen to the current of the times, knowing the waves may get heavy at times. Just hold on tight and allow the right actions to us learning the better way to go in this next round for Mother Earth and humanity.
Forward movement is the only way and I connect deeper with my heart and my truths; realigning beliefs which guided me through some strengthening experiences, discovering find my voice, my soul’s pathways and meaning of what I was told during a near death experience many years ago…
