love is the answer.

"Love is the answer to selfishness because love gives while selfishness takes... Love will be the central theme of my life". The Love Revolution, Joyce Meyer

“Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.”

―Elizabeth Lawrence

A thought of great importance:

David McArthur and Bruce McArthur, The Intelligent Heart:

“Most of us have had moments in childhood when we touched the divine presence. We did not think it extraordinary because it wasn't; it was just a beautiful moment filled with love. In those simple moments our hearts were alive, and we saw the poignant beauty of life vividly with wonder and appreciation”.

"The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name

It's beautiful, wonderful,

don't you ever

change"

i think that dress looks nice on you.

i can see a fireside turned blue.

i can feel alot of light in you.

when the world looks back.

when the face looks after that.

i can see alot of light in you.

i can see alot of life in you.

i can see a bed and make it too.

and i think that dress looks nice on you.

i wish this song was written for me.

oh. oh. oh.

So many things in life that necessitate change. So many corners that can be continually worked on.

The crux of life is know when to be content on the extent of one’s abilities.

What if I was content with the way I was? What if for one moment I said to myself “You are wonderful!”? Would this be a bad thing? Would this be wrong? I am willing to change, but am I not content because I can not tell myself “job well done”? Amidst all this thinking I am not at rest. I want to find contentment. Want to know I am horrible and mixed up, yet wonderful and beautiful; full of needed changes, but doing the best I am able to do. Where does this balance come from? Will it come?

Confusing...

I asked God to show me the meaning of life. Not just the meaning of life, but the meaning of my life.

I am realizing that there is an extent to my human abilities.

Why is it hard to find the meaning of my life? Maybe its because I am realizing that there are many meanings to my life. By meanings I mean passions. Passions that are present now, and passions that lay undiscovered... Katherine Anne Porter said, “The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own—even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being”. I want to achieve this balance: the balance of knowing contentment in one’s heart with who they are, while striving to be more aware of one’s flaws. I want to acknowledge my own greatness. I want to be satisfied with the work and life I am living.

I am looking for someone in life to walk along side of that has this balance. Who is a challenging me, but basks in the awesomeness of me. Why is this so hard to find?

polish red.

No sleep tonight. I am up and stirring. Stirring in the lights of the computer. Looking for rest. Thinking of many thoughts. Listening to the tunes of my favorite artists. Striving to hear what my Abba is thinking right now. Trying to balance the thoughts of a great thinker vs. the thoughts of someone like me--literally me! I am equipped with books and internet yet still can not find the peace I seek. I am looking for clarity. Seeking it with every fiber of my being. Wanting to hold it in my hand and grasp it for myself.

Thought I had clarity of mind. Thought I had clarity of spirit. Thought I had clarity of heart. Little did I know that tonight in the wee hours of the morning I would be questioning it. I am seeking truth. I am wrestling with thoughts of faith in practice. Knowing I am sick but healed. Knowing I am at peace, yet in unrest. I am crying out to Him to know the thoughts of the Master. I am looking for balance.

It is one of the those seasons of hunger. A season to know what God is thinking. I believe I can know what God is thinking. I believe He is active and present in my life and that my spirit communes with Him. I am communing with Him right now. Praying and seeking His clarity.

It is scary when hunger for the matters of the Spirit begin to fade and burn out in my life. I am so thankful beyond words of expression for that thirst. I feel so lost without it. Like a flame extinguished. I need to be re-lit. I know that I am designed to distinguish truth. To divide right and wrong. To live in a balance of spirituality and reality.

greet the sun...

In yoga you salute the sun.... This is an odd concept for someone like me.... I think that sounds weird because I do not understand the culture from which it comes from or the religious tones behind it... So, instead of saluting the sun I have decided to greet the "Son". That is my religion and that is my cultural background.

P.S. I love the yoga... I am making it my own!
