Moving Forward

 Looking back at a peaceful time is fine to recapture the moment but not to stay over longer    That can only make you wish for things that can never be again or perhaps had never been      There are people with you now who will reach forward and create new experiences in this moment and that’s pretty much what this little clip of music is about enjoy it  there are people with you now who will reach forward and create new experiences in this moment and that’s pretty much what this little clip of music is about enjoy it

Keep a lot of surf boards

Unless you are very lucky or  destined to a life in someone else’s  boat then you are likely to be out there in a wide open ocean seeking the peace on the distant shore.     The problem is it’s hard to count the waves and it’s hard to tell   What power lies beneath    I think the path lies in learning to surf and having a lot of boards because some will get swept away

The peace and joy in teaching a perspective

 If you are a mentor and or guiding someone I think there is some peace in recognizing when a student a colleague and friend learns what you have given as a gift knowledge however I think there is more joy when one can’t stand back and recognize that you have taught them little yet they now have madeIt possible and very clear that the learner must now pick up the tools and do the work for without the piece which is in the tools and the joy and the discovery mentoring cannot be complete

Try nott to worship at the alter of “why?”

 The trouble with seeking peace and worshiping at the altar of the question why is that why has very  elusive borders .   A person may know why they did something and they may assume that is why certain behaviors or activities then follow.  

The  tricky part is that if we even believe we know why something happens that we can control it     I am wondering however if they need to control things is peaceful? Or brings much joy?

Unlimited Minutes

So I bought this plan   With. Unlimited minutes.... there can be no peace or joy if you think you can buy minutes moments seconds let alone unlimited it’s a great marketing technique and sometimes we try to buy it by saying I’ll be happy when or things will be better if that’s the same thing as unlimited minutes no such thing I bought a phone that I can give to someone to say here call somebody because your minutes are limited find joy in what you share

SelffHelp Book?

II. have been thinking we all seem to feel more peace and joy when we help each other... 

Why don’t we see “help each other books?”  

Take a look in the mirror

 OK this is a little musical number about mirrors the key here is to just sit back and listen the lyrics are below


 Across this half lit empty room on the wall there is a mirror will the image be distorted or help you see things clearer
 Will it show the light inside or just sell imperfections will it show where you have been or where to go in which direction

 If I could share one lesson just on your behalf I would take a glance in the mirror and just stand there and laugh

  No these are the exact lyrics however for now they will do

Purpose verse

 This is just a little piece of the song I’m working on click enjoy or listen and think either way have a great day

The Morning Walk

So

 I get up in the morning... well I am usually up in the morning and it is  dark outside... and I am  fairly dark inside.  I find my  gloves and some form of. Light.  I am not so much expecting  to see much with the light, but hope to be seen if needed.  I have a route that I. Walk and while I am doing so I usually isten to a book or something... Sometimes. It is music if I feel like. Singing.  But it is early in the morning.  By the time I am. A quarter of the way to the walking path across the bridge I have pretty. Much. Forgotten the weather and am  focused on the information  going on. In my head.... and then something. Curious. Happens.  I lose focus on that. Too.....   and then. It is  just me and the  flickering of  traffic lights and. A few street lamps and the sidewalk and the grass by the sidewalk and the steps forward for a good long while.   I don’t think about. What the people in those cars are going to to do today and don’t  think they are worried about what I’m doing. Either.

So this happens for. About 500 hundred yards or 700 or 642 who knows?

Then I  turn around and. Go the other way. Up the path and   Suddenly the.things I had going. On in my. Head return  for a few. More minutes and then they disappear and I start feeling the weather again and the  steps toward the  bridge which is a  good distance away.  The thing about the bridge is that. The river  marks the edge  where I decide if the rest of the walk is filled with thinking of tasks. For the day our  is it a walk that just amblesa along till I decide I. Need to seek the path.back.  


The thing I know for certain is that I always stop at least for a moment and. Ask the river to  bring me the peace of a thousand years and I know. It is  available in that river and I just need to ask it to flow through. Me.


This. Is a healing. Part. Of my day and. Almost. Always carries. Peace. Alongside.  

So if seeking. Peace.. find a. Walking place... there is a  river or a tree or a park or a highway that  carries the healing. For you there.


Stop for a moment and  soak it in.

10 minutes of peace same bat time same bat channel

Today I talked with. One of the really good people on the planet.  Why...am I comparing. This person with others?  I don’t. Really think I am.  He is. Someone who. Has walked in my shoes and. I probably. Am walking. A bit in his now.  Sometimes finding peace is letting someone. Else blaze. The path and. Supporting when. You can.  

anyway I felt some peace today and that. Was something. Really important for a day... and  life lasts for. A day. At a time.... if you take the long view.

The 10 minutes of peace was very important. Thank you.

Now why. The Bat Mobile?  Well because. When I believed in  the idea that everything  would be okay if I could just wait for the same bat time... life was simpler.    

The same. Bat. Time and the same bat. Place doesn’t really  ever come around... but the idea that   Something. Bad. Can turn around if we   Rumble with it is good... I believe... so. Until tomorrow..same bat time.. same. Bat. Channel

Keep seeking.

CHALLENGING MOMENTS

So you are already late ...standing in line at your local larger than need be super store .

 will find some joy and share some  quickly and often  

Another Musical bit

Press the button and listen I will add lyrics to this and other music later enjoy

Sometimes it’s peaceful to sing just press and listen

Anxiety and piece than misunderstood tight rope

Some of us have a stream of anxiety running through our spirit.   Seeking  peace often  means both slowing the and finding an external circumstance that creates a”flow”

Synchronized moments are awesome however not cookbook nor lasting at timesw

Encourage  and be patient because all streams within  our designed to have their own rhythm...and when those experiencing anxiety. Find the  stream the peace is magnificent  and the joy is brilliant.

The Road to Peace has a Detour

 Well it is ppretty easy  to find. books and blogs about  revamping your life these days.  Change happens in life more often than it used to somore people  get to  revisit their purpose  more often.  Unfortunately  sometimes. people. hit Thierry. target just to find out that this was not what. they were aiming for in the first place.  So then  you aren’t where you want to be and. you are. left with the  shaky. feeling that you don’t either know what you wanted or how to get there.  

The likelihood. that both of these things is  true is. not very  high...however if it is... the success rate for working. on. both at the same time is probably. not too   super.   So seeking. peace probably  increases if. a. person   chosses to believe in. one  correct answer inside themselves.   You can believe in the passion behind. your purpose and  expand the  scope of activities or you can determine if this is really. your  passion at all..... 

Finding. either one of these things for   sure is very powerful and. worth the detours you may have to experience along the way.  So look for for signs and enjoy the adventure of the detours.

Well I know this is hard but  seeking joy can mean finding failure.   How? .. well not seeking will mean not finding  or experiencing peace and joy. 

So the master of peace is likely to taste bitterness Once or more.  

Some Messages Come from Strange Places

So  a good friend of mine. Posted  something today about. How things change or can change in the blink of an  eye... and for me. It means that. Peace and joy. Happens in  moments and these moments drift by sometimes very quickly so we might learn to feel  the joy when it is upon us.  

Then I saw a post. That I had. Written and  it made  me think a moment and smile.  

SZo  I will share that here.  

Please  remember that I cherish. Your friendships. For all the. Priceless moments.  

My Post....

“I put a dollar in a change machine...nothing much changed... maybe it was out of order?”  

Or maybe I blinked and missed it?  

Thanks for all the moments!
