River’s Flow

RIVERS FLOW

Life sure can be funny

of letting you know which way

things will go

As you watch your plans

go completely astray

In the currents flow

of tomorrow and yesterday

~ ~ ~

In the past I used to

get so upset

worked so hard for what

I wanted to get

Not realizing all

the blood and sweat

Were for something else

I’d not yet

Foreseen,

ya know what I mean?

~ ~ ~

Now as I  grow older

I finally learned to shoulder

the wishes and dreams

floating away downstream

realizing

nothing is what it seems

~ ~ ~

Living in the present moment

absorbing the bits and smidgens

of smiles, blessings and bestowments

of love and riches

These times used to pass me by

as life went on around me

While I’d plan where the future lied

The world cried out

Hey, JOIN ME

 ~ ~ ~

The time to second guess U-turns

has finally passed on forever

I’ll not go back to the place

when i’m crying over whether

I’ve made the right choice

If, maybe I shouldn’t have used my voice

Flourishing and nourishing

as the river flows

leading me to the unknown

adventures of the universe

~ ~ ~

Wait! I can’t forget

to sing a verse before I go

and enjoy the upcoming show

About a King, and ends with “know”

The rest ringing out

all through the riverboat

And that’s what we need

to say to ourselves

When chaos and doubt announce

their arrival

Unwelcome guests, not on our

manifest

No time for us to wait

They’re about to close the gate!

~ ~ ~

Alas, my journey has begun

with the river as my captain

and the moon as my guide

each step bringing me closer

to the destination

Just remember to

Enjoy the Ride!

Anticipation

Thoughts of us

swirl around my head

Visions of you and me

Together on our new journey

We are obstacle free!

Beginning our life

as it should be

Cherishing every moment

as a Gift from Above

Never questioning or looking back

wondering is this really

LOVE

Simple and true

Honest through and through

Doubt is officially erased

As we enter our next phase

Moving forward with zeal

without any doubt of what’s real

Riding the momentum wave

toward our new life unfolding

Never questioning the road that has been paved

and illuminated brightly before us

Right now, it’s time to give thanks

and a big reward for

US

NM

Searching and Searching

Beautiful Sky my pic

Searching and searching, I have been, for you my love

Wondering and waiting, on the Man Above

To lead you to me, or me to you

Our distance is nothing compared to

what we’ve been through

Wars and plagues

Other’s blind rage

Yet through each millennia

We reconnect

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am in the Stars

although never really too far

As Time is just a figment

of our limited understanding

of what is true and real

Our general misunderstanding

of what the world wants us to feel

That we reconnected now

is truly perfect timing

in a world that is falling apart

Not knowing it’s climbing

out of the hole

it has put us all in

I wish, I hope I pray

we can be soon, chin to chin

My gaze fixed on yours

once again strengthening our connection

This time, and every time thereafter

may we hold tight to our reflections

Of our past, present and future

all tied together as one

No matter the intruder

we will not be overcome

By worldly struggle and strife

that is tossed our way

Since you and I both know

there isn’t a day

we’re not truly together

in some kind of way

Hey Mister Universe

2012-05-03 19.27.55

Hey Mister Universe

can you hear me?

When you look down

what do you see?

We call to you

by many different names

Even though

our thoughts and prayers

are mainly the same

Divided we can be

did you know the Baptists alone

have over 200 denominations to honor thee?

Do you wonder why we fight

and wallow in our plight?

Do you feel sad when

you witness all the drama

all of those that are mad?

You bestowed upon us

FREE WILL

and the power of choice

Yet those who choose the dark side

revel in taking our voice!

Others choose strength and virtue

integrity and faith

Knowing our FREEDOM to CHOOSE

is not in any man’s power to determine our

FATE

I ask you to hear me today

as I pray for those

who’ve gone astray

I pray for souls

mired in hate and pain

PLEASE let them know

they have NOTHING to gain

You are honored and revered

in so many ways

Our love for you must outweigh

those who use you

for their agenda & personal gain

I promise you on this day

to NEVER allow

my faith to be swayed

To always remember I am loved and NEVER alone

To live up to the mission

you embedded in my unique code

To pass along your message

through love and empathy

Until I begin my passage home

Thank you Mister Universe

for this chance

to help others, to give back

TO TAKE A STANCE

Thank you as well

for the ability to accomplish my goals

no matter how hard it may seem

You know me so very well

You know I’ll achieve my

DREAMS!

You are LOVED

Serendipity Tree

 

wpid-2014-05-31_12-18-04_550.jpg

When you look at a tree
You might not see serendipity
But think for a minute about
Living life in doubt
Never reaching above
Not finding anything you love
Back to the trees
that go on and on
without any regard
To the challenges it faces
Weathering all seasons
The changes it takes in stride
Knowing the cycle it must endure
Simply to survive
It reacts to the sun and wind
Giving us much needed air
It can produce food to no end
Its fruits it must bear
By design
It branches out
In many different directions
No doubt
Knowing a liner path
Is not the way
To go about survival
After hibernation
Planning it’s revival
On and on the cycle goes
More and more branches
Look at every which way they go
Up and out, reaching high
Up to the sky
The only clues are when
It meets its demise
You can view it’s struggle
Looking on the inside
But until that moment
All I can see
Is the simple bliss
Of serendipity

Part Two | Goals

If you missed Part One

Goals

I like goals, and  wishes too.

Prayers, faith, hope mean a lot to me as well

Where a Dreamer sees one moment, in the future, I see

steps along a path, many steps!

And I am trying to discern which way to go.

Then out comes that fun word

FOCUS

Ha! I think I figured it out..sorta 😉

The worry, indecision and stress Ignites when that focus

slips away and yet the focus is not in the moment!

It’s not in the NOW at all. It is way, way ahead in the future, and the plan, or path is based on your Goals + Past experience.

We receive our motivation from our past failures.

We set forth on a new path into the future of change and….

WAIT

Where did NOW go? What happened to the FLOW?

Where is the part where the decisions fly quickly and positive energy sparks, the timing feels right and obstacles melt away?

It resides IN THAT CLEAR FOCUS

(Rewind to a month ago)

In 12 days time, I managed to dismantle so much, just by losing sight of my goals. Yup, that fast.

I’d quit caffeine, bad sugar and sweets. I’d cut back on smoking and my medications that I felt had begun to do more harm than good. I was exercising, eating well, sleeping well. I was able to find balance! Mixing in nature, lots of sunshine and music, life finally seemed to have a rhythm to it all. Things were finally moving forward, FLOWING AGAIN.

The true essence of now in my mind had finally set in

Until one fateful night, where I made a careless choice.

Spiraling down, so fast I couldn’t hardly keep up!

Holy cow man.. there went three doctors appointments, a job interview and all our weekly activities. I had a flat tire, my patience ran thin with the kids, my business was suffering neglect, the pets were not getting the attention they deserved. The weather changed and all the warm clothes were piled up in the laundry room. The yard became a jungle, the house was a mess. I accidentally ( and on a few occasions on purpose) broke all kinds of stuff because I was hasty or mad or neglectful or whimsical…..

Boils down to this~ life can be nothing but a big house of cards, tumbling away into oblivion at this point.

CRAZINESS

That one simple moment, the loss of a goal, can trickle so far and wide. That is the other AH HA moment….

When to quit, when to intelligibly move in another direction or when to drive straight ahead.

Timing disappears, stress reigns and conflicts are everywhere  Negativity

Being able to see your path along the way to a destination. The clarity of it all, setting forth toward your goal – that’s when it flips – the past falls away

~The future holds no worries~

And the self feels the present and truly knows  the way to flow.

It is only then I can breathe easy, even if things on the outside look bleak. That is the moment I precisely know things will fall into place.

What I struggle to do is explain this to other people in my life. I’m not mean or uncaring or insensitive or even without emotion, it’s just that these feelings aren’t what I mean when my gut feels the FLOW

EGO=EMOTIONS=LOSS OF YOUR GOAL=NEGATION OF FLOW

You do not go on a road trip with out some sort of destination in mind. Or into the ocean, or the sky…why would our lives be any different?

Why would someone hinder my positive forward motion,  passing it off as maybe love (possessions) seemingly apparent to fill a void (not foster growth)? When this type of behavior is expected of me (ridiculous displays of devotion)

I shut down

To many people, due to my wide array of interests and ideas, I usually seem unfocused and all over the place. It is because those who judge and criticize can not wrap their head around the goals and dreams I am working hard to achieve.

My biggest challenge, I have now discovered, is not in reaching those goals. It is learning to stay focused and unwavering while fending off the put-downs. It is learning to fend off with out pissing off. I get so frustrated when I’m misunderstood. I can only explain so much, I can only adapt so much, before I utterly

FREAK OUT

I feel like a feral cat someone is trying to put in a cage, being lured by warmth, comfort and that fancy stuff out of a can on a pedastle plate  ( don’t you just love manipulation at the expense of others selfish wants?)

I cannot help

THE WAY I MUST FLOW

So please, If you have an agenda, undoubtedly I will react

And it wont be pretty

NM

Timeless

How can it be

after all this time

a connection so strong

It knows  of no lines

drawn in the sand

or boundaries laid by our own hand

in a universe that moves so fast

yet stands still, within our grasp

giving us one more

CHANCE

wow, how blessed are we

to have re-connected in the stormy seas

of insanity and drama

brought upon our karma

Yet

the true test is not

what happens to us

but what we do

in spite of the challenges

brought upon us

and our friend “KARMA”

is waiting to see

if we rise to the top

of the rough and tumbling  sea

because it is offering us

a blessing in disguise

It’s up to us

to read between the lines

of life’s trials and tribulations

and a second chance

to seize the universe’s design

Diving Boards and Boarding Passes

This is going to be quick. I’m sorry I’ve not posted sooner. It’s been a chaotic few days….

My friend, Nicholas had an amazing post and I want to share it with you today.

nicholasdagostino.com/two-sides-one-coin

Please go and read this post, and then read as many as you can!

He inspired me to finally publish this blog, as I was fearful. Baring your soul to the world is a bit intimidating!

Each and every day, he spends his time uplifting others. His message, his attitude, his candor are all AMAZING!

So, what does that have to do with diving boards?

Our OUTLOOK

Are you the type to stick a toe in and wade down, or do you just jump right in?

Can you dive off the high dive? or only the side of the pool?

Do you check the depths of the water or go full-boar, head first?

These are questions that relate to life as well. It’s that balance we all try to achieve on a daily basis.

And what I’ve learned is getting a toe wet first accomplishes nothing for me! Diving in right away, I always find myself injured lol, because usually the “water” wasn’t deep enough, and of course I forgot to check!

That is my biggest challenge on a daily basis! Blogs like nicholasdagostino.com  help me stay motivated and at the same time promote focus and balance.

I highly recommend you listen to his poem, titled “Gravity”, read his blog and begin your journey.

His book is titled “I’M READY FOR TAKEOFF” and he has begun a great new email campaign, so go now and get your BOARDING PACT and begin your new life! You will be so glad you did!

Promises Shromises

You Promised

to keep me safe

to care for me

to never leave

You said you loved me

more than anyone

We built our lives, our dreams

together

and it’s so wrong

your aren’t here

I don’t know what to do now

I hate fear

I mourn for normalcy

I cry for my family

I yearn to feel you close

I feel lost, abandoned

I pray for the Lord

to heal our broken souls

To learn to trust again

To learn to feel safe again

It wasn’t supposed to

be this way

Unique Souls

Lives

Experiences

Based in perspective

combined with expectation

Labels

Names, categories, things

grouping together in a way

to invoke understanding, familiarity

So we know what to expect

that expectation is formed based on

past experience joined with

Perspective, or lack of

People can stare at the same painting

and ALL OF THEM will have a

different experience

Some may have an emotional connection

deep from with-in

Love, sadness, anger, joy, fear

Others will feel absolutely nothing

What a range that is!

On and on they vary

UNIQUE

Best label of all

to describe all of our souls

Unique=Oneness
