I have been looking over my posts for the last few months and one thing is clear.
Nothing is certain.
Nothing stays exactly the same.
This is a crazy life.
Up and down and all around.
Makes you wonder what God was thinking.
I turned a corner today.
I finally really, really, really get it.
Bliss is found in one single moment and only that moment matters.
Bliss is not a constant unrelenting feeling. Stuff happens. Joy ebbs and flows.
Bliss is being able to find joy in every single moment possible. To relish it, recognize it, embrace it in that one moment. The more you can string together the better.
Those moments where bliss is absent will happen no matter what.
However, they will be less painful and more fleeting once we master the skill of total and complete surrender to and absorption of those blissful moments that happen every day.
Wow
Ever feel the rising tide.
You know its coming.
You hold on tight.
You take a deep breath.
You pray for a boat.
Then it does come and nothing can prepare you for the inevitability of the flood of whatever except the fact that you know that the same wave that drowns you now will lift you up on the next cycle.
J. Krishnamurti, the great Indian spiritual guru… the “secret” of his teaching is:
“I don’t mind what happens”
If you are living in the Now, in this moment, then you accept whatever is happening right now and you flow with it. Surrender and acceptance of the NOW.
Today I am practicing “not minding what happens.”
As always, finding a truth is easier than actually putting it into use in your life.
I want to use what I learn to make my life more meaningful.
I refuse to get on board.
I have torn up my ticket.
I pray for empty cars.
I hope it goes off the end of a broken track, into a deep black abyss, never to be seen again.
Could I make myself more clear?

I had a customer come in this morning and we had a wonderful conversation and she is joining our support group we are trying to form.
As she left… she said “I am leaving here feeling so much better than when I came in” …
What more could I want? What more could I ask for?
I have a kinship with the Koala.
Maybe it’s my medicine animal. I have read a lot about the significance of the Koala and it revolves around survival and also paying attention to diet… this makes perfect sense to me. This is a snippit I found on www.mysticsoulreader.com
Many of you who may need the assistance of Koala energies, may experience stomach ailments and digestive problems. Koala medicine can help with these issues by helping us to balance not only our diet, but our emotional, mental and spiritual diet as well. Stress is the main culprit in manifesting disease, Koala’s disposition can teach us to slow down. The Koala is a slow moving animal, compared to the tree slough, the Koala is not in a hurry to do anything. It is not lazy by any means, but is a beautiful creature that goes at a pace that promotes peace and tranquility.
Wow.. that is so dead on it’s not even funny.

I am sorry for not paying attention.
I am sorry you were last on my list.
I am sorry you gave and I took but I didn’t say thank you.
I am sorry for all the times you talked and I didn’t listen.
AND I am thankful that you paid attention,
that I was always first on your list.
that you gave, that you listened.
Going forward, I want to be less sorry and more thankful.
This morning I found grace, in the smiling face and bright eyes of an elderly customer. She had lived. She had loved. She was at peace with her path.
She had grace shining out of every part of her being.
If you look, Grace can be found.
