Peace and Love

 

Wrapping up another month looking forward to new idea's, new plans, new days and nights hopefully filled with all the things that make us better people.

We wish for the best of things that make life lovable, livable and laughable. We are filled with hope everyday that things turn out well, safe, happy and healthy and able to keep negative surprises at a minimum. 

So, bring on the new month as we take it on for better or for worse that include the challenges and obstacles. Let's look for the good when things seem so bad and offer love and respect in those moments when we have the opportunity to make life more doable. Peace and Love ☮

LIFE

 Elton John wrote; "How wonderful life is when you're in the world."

It truly matters that you are hear and now. The world is complete with you in it, even in our failings and acomplishments, the bitter and bad days and the days that make life livable, laughable and maybe even more lovable. Indeed, it matters and makes a difference in the scheme of things. whether we understand it all or not.

Lessons

 The idea that we stay in the school of life that is constantly in session sounds about right. We can only hope for soft landings, learning and re learning things that make us better and beautiful, a blessing to others and figuring out smart ways to make room for more good things to live by until we are proficient in what it is we are individually and collectively called to do. 

Love, the most important class taught at all ages from beginners to masters who wish to improve upon the most fundamental of all human experiences and bare necessities.

March On

Into another month we go, another time and season with more reasons to hope in things that make life good with minimum hinderance as we travel the long winding roads. May April be healthy, happy and peaceful as we take the path of peace and joy, kindness and compassion.

Day's of Life and Death

 

Since we know, hope is a good thing, looking to the future with optimistic eyes. We hope things go well, we hope for good health and happiness, We hope for peaceful days that contain experiences to make life worth living and doable. 

We hope that when death is near, it will not overtake us into dark places that make us sick with sadness, rather stronger places in love, yes armed with resilient faith and hope, respect for life at our most vulnerable times and the most glorious days that make us glad to be alive. 

We hope for the best and the beautiful things that make us want to live life at all. Live like me mean it, from the goodness, perplexing, positively fun and fascinating to the simple elegance of a thought provoking conversation to a sweet smile from a stranger. To be or not to be generous with the bare basic best of ourselves is to share the most powerful weapon of massive construction and renewal with the world, love and compassion, for the closest to the furthest reaching in the entire world, it's what's for dinner! Peace and Love ♥ Paz y Amor, siempre

Happy Heart

Let the mending of a broken,heavy, hardened heart begin. If I can help heal an open wound or scabbed-over scar with a simple gesture of kindness, then damage control is underway. *Let me understand this correctly, how crucial and powerful the moment is, to step forward in such a way that lights-up the darkness.

To lament about the power of love is one thing, to live it inside out and cultivate the elements of love, is another. To practice the art of love is to constantly adapt and modify, to be patient, kinder, gentler than the time before. Repair is within our means, so simple, so doable in theory yet easier to dismiss the necessity of taking care of a sloppy attitude which renders a blurred perception, that plunges into a harsh place in words or deeds.

We do so much better with one another when we seize the opportunity any reason or no reason at all to make life more livable and lovable. The quality of life improves immensely it is a smoother ride and easier to take when a weary heart is made to feel better, lifted, polished, stronger for the wear and tear. Behold ~ Love from our hearts and souls makes life beautiful, worth living. What may have been a sad heart is once again happy, revived because of love.

Places Of The Heart

Here's to the superb, strange, wonderful, mysterious and sublime. To the things that make sense and the moments of enlightenment when they don't. To people and pets who make life livable and lovable. To art, science, space, time and places of the heart that can only be described as glimpses of heaven, where the sound of a baby cooing makes cherub angels blush with delight, where joy is like oxygen and peace is the most powerful weapon on the planet.

Here's to light in the darkness, understanding for the misunderstood and prayers for deliverance from a painful journey. To a good path to navigate and the strength, health and faith to take you where it leads you. Here's to a good life, good people and people trying to be good, for a clear view of everything we hold near, honor and cherish.

For this world of wonder one prays for resolution of wars, conflict, unrest. To consolation, comfort, kindness and a humanity that strives for justice and equality, for priceless, timeless love, compassion, respect and landmark times in life that make us pause to reflect on such places of the heart.

April ☼ May

With a warm embrace April waves goodbye to May, like two old friends with a long history and much mutual respect and affection. The seasons roll into the other sometimes quietly and sometimes as if in a constant state of transition. Gears shift, the cycle of life continues on cue in accordance with time and the rhythm of life. Another Spring is upon us and the light of day grows longer, the earth springs forward, it is new yet very familiar.

There is a brand new sense of hope, anticipation for good things to come, new possibilities, the end for some and the beginning for others.

Here's to days filled with peace and goodness, fresh perspective and health of mind, body and soul.

January

January is such an interesting month, it is new beginnings, new opportunities and challenges and  somehow seems darker with the chilof winter and the need to nestle, stay indoors. warm and cozy.
                                                                                                          Time is measured in increments of seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months, years and the moments that leave you weak, strong, happy or sad. The first month of the year moves along as it did eon's ago, one day after the other measured or not. To not keep track of time seems so rare unless you are a child or any other manner of life that counts solely on the natural rhythm, ebb and flow of the earth and it's inhabitants.

Here's to a whole new wave of possibilities and the potential for progress where progress is necessary. Here's to being better, blessed and a blessing! To health of mind, body and spirit! Here's to life, peaceful deaths and everything that makes living worth while!

The Years

We say goodbye to another year, we saw everything good and too many things bad about the world, the hate, the cruelty, the helpless and hopeless nature of life at times seems too much to bare.

Thankfully, there is goodness, there are strong, necessary people blessed with gifts and skills to make life more livable for others, countless opportunities arise with chances to contribute in ways that light the darkness and lift the burdens of those weighed down by unfortunate circumstances. 

We welcome another year, hopeful 2013 brings better days, happy, full of surprises and roads that lead us where we need to be at the exact moment we need to be there. We want to be a good influence and positive force in the world, it is a fine practice, essential to our existance and simple solution to enhancing a world that craves peace and love, a soft place to land at the end of the day.
One minute at a time with one heart, one kind gesture at a time so life is much more doable,
lovable and worthwhile for those who would think otherwise.

Joy & Pain


Joy is a jewel, a sparkly slice of life that smears smiles on people's faces. Joy warms the heart and nourishes the soul, it tugs on your heartstrings, can make you cry and laugh, giggle and feel good all over. Pain is raw and strikes indiscriminantly at the young and old, boys and girls, men and women of all ages, it can leave as quickly as it appears or linger and loiter in the body and mind oblivious to it's unwanted presence. Joy and Pain are opposites felt, seen and heard in obvious manner, sometimes invisible as it moves about with reckless abandon.

Pain bites hard, it punctures, the sting is sharp, also quick to come and go without warning, unannounced like an obnoxious uninvited guest. Emotional or mental pain can be silent or exude deafening screams as it runs rampant and out of control. Each hot tear begs for relief from the intruding tangles, tears, breaks, burns, blocks, ruptures.You scramble for ways to rid yourself of any pain or anguish.

The joy of seeing a child happy and healthy after surviving a life threatening illness, a therapist helping someone breakthrough a former limitation, someone being appreciated for their help, good news about long awaited test results or completing a job well done while improving the quality of someones life in the process. Joy is an elixar of life!

At the end of the day it is comfort, peace, big and little, subtle and spectacular things and moments that bring you joy, outweighs the pain and make life more livable, happier and healthy.

Respite for The Weary

 Sending good vibrations, thoughts, prayers to the brethren weather beaten on the East Coast and other locations where people are displaced and defeated and depleated by the storms (which are not all that far away from here if your looking at the earth from a distance) in the hopes that resources find their way to the current lost tribe of people who are full of despair as to what, where and how.

Who can say when our lives turn upside down and why.  What on earth is a person to do when everything you hold dear, your most precious possessions and essential means of daily living, is gone, when even loved ones struggle to survive man made or natural disaster.  How can life be so cruel?

Like a child with outstretched arms longing for someone to rescue her, hold her, to comfort and warm him. I wish all lives in peril, in harms ways, in fear, isolated... Peace. That somehow deep in the core of your soul, there is respite for your weary hearts and bones.
I hope you have hope and the means to start over, to begin anew after recovering from the shock and reality of the devastation.

I wish I could take your pain away and offer consolation and recourse, a safe and warm place for you and your loved one's. I pray you have the strength and will to pick-up where you are forced to leave-off and leave behind from the disruption that shakes you to the core. I pray you find your way to a place where you can begin to rebuild your lives and leave the wreckage behind, able to start over, be well, strong and carry-on.
