With a pocket full of gold, as the least of your wealth.

Hungry Wolves

Native American Wisdom. The Author is Unknown 

A Grandfather is visiting with his grandchildren teaching them about the difference between good and bad, positive and negative. The Grandfather tells his grandchildren, “There is a good wolf and a bad wolf living inside each of us. The good wolf is love, compassion, courage, generosity, fortitude, discipline, laughter and every worthy virtue a human being is capable of. The bad wolf is anger, hatred, jealousy, envy, greed, doubt, despair, darkness. These two wolves are in a fierce battle in all of us”.

The children hardly able to contain their anticipation, ask eagerly,

“Which wolf wins Grandfather!?”

The Grandfather responds simply; “The one you feed”

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.
