Real Life

Life is about so much more than just surviving. As of late, however, we are increasingly being conditioned to believe that is all that is important.

Personally, my concern is that the longer we drift from our hold on what really living life means, we will forget.

What does life mean to you? Do you take stock of what makes life feel fulfilling? Certainly our dreams, big and small, have taken a real beating this year. We must keep a firm grasp on those and not let them go. Our dreams are what shape our futures. And whatever anyone may tell you to the contrary, you have the right to live your dream.

When we truly see something, we enter the realm of feeling it too. Walk in nature and practice seeing. A whole world of beauty will then gradually reveal itself to you, everywhere.

"Beauty surrounds us, but ususally we need to be in a garden to know it" Rumi

Show Me the Magic

“Where is the magic?” This is a question I often asked myself while tramping along the same dirt road in Australia to get my daily exercise. I was feeling very lost, not geographically, but rather, internally. I was on a spirit quest.

There is magic, but one must be observant and intentional. The next step for me was, “Show me the magic.” When I passionately asked and intended to find the answer, it finally came. Surprise, surprise, the answer did not come by way of my cell phone or the internet. Nature showed me the way…
