Just as the trees communicate through signals, so do we, just as the universe feels the blade of grass quivering, so does it feel your heart, we too are part of this universe, to show love, we must be shown love, to show hate we must be shown hate, as the waves of the your heart go out onto the ocean of love, so returns what you desire. ~ ~
Smells that calm, sounds that excite, vibrations that inspire, visions that change and all that exists is but a waking dream in a state one has been in for many a rise and many a fall of the great microwave in the sky, part of this electrical system we exist only for a decimal. ~
The ride of life, the ups and downs of the hills and valleys can sometimes be a bit challenging to deal with and can become a roller coaster of sorts. The growth of technology has made us so efficient as tools we have lost some of our human ways. We work ourselves at times into valleys and look up at the hill with dismay as to how we will get to the top. This up and down can be a drag or it can be a learning experience as many things in life have that balanced reaction depending on how we approach it. We can liken this adventure of life to a bike ride, a balancing act, at first it may be difficult to even make the first step on the peddle but once we get going we tend to build up so much forward momentum. This is where the joy sets in, the rush of the wind blowing by as we move faster or take daring corners that push us to the level of childlike joy, the work becomes fun and we grow through this so much. We ride further and further pushing our bodies to their limits, sometimes we face hills that we don't think we could climb, I say to this peddle on, change your gear and push through it. You may surprise yourself or at least have an idea of where you are at physically and what you can accomplish. Riding is something that makes you focus on what is right in front of you, it doesn't allow for long distractions, you are in a state of bliss, caught up in the very act of peddling and it becomes a meditation of sorts. Many times in life we focus on the entire journey, where we are going, mapping out the road so far ahead of ourselves we fall into a trap of living in this navigation system that is averse to change. When you ride you can stop when you like, turn when you like and go where you like, this can be the most freeing thing when you realize this too is how your life is. In relation to my personal life ride, I have to deal with man made technology so much in my field of work, sometimes it becomes so frustrating trying to use the natural technology of my body to operate sometimes 1- 6 devices at the same time. It is at times like these I take a ride through the natural technology of the beach, a place to clear the head, the mangrove, a place to get lost in the trees and find myself returning to my natural state of being. This is one of the many forms of meditating and balancing ones work with what one needs to work. Feel free to share your ways of balancing your ride and maintaining stability through life to help other riders along their way.
I saw this man outside the church this morning, he came for healing or so I suppose. Did he get what he came for, what he was seeking, was he delivered from evil, forgiven or perhaps struck with the word of the lord and awakened as to what he must do now. I think perhaps what one looks for they surely will find, he will find substance in just being in the presence of God. Through his ability to come here, he is already attracting what his thoughts have in store for him. As we say we are what we think, so to he is what he allows. As we sat here at the church, outside hearing the speakers message, the wind blew, the hawks flew high above the mountain, the calmness of the atmosphere itself could be the presence of God. The size of the hills, humbling and fulfilling to see. Some say the great spirit that many speak of travels on the wind or is the wind itself, I see this so because the slightest gust of wind could carry with it the most life changing and world changing thoughts or feelings. I flashback to a conversation I was having with someone close about belief, that it is what is really needed in the world to see more than this physical realm. In the rational mind we waver towards finding reason, finding scientific evidence but without the ability to believe we are subconsciously attracting disbelief, subconscious we are denying the magic and mystery of God, life and dreams. It is the simple things, the turning of a leaf, the timing of the music of your life, the harmony, the crescendos, the silent times, the loud and jarring times, but only if you are hearing the musical can you appreciate the majesty of life.
