Books, The Beach, & Manifesting

230626a

Travel far, pay no fare… A book can take you anywhere. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Life was too confining, and I felt too small in the real world I inhabited when I was a child. I was a voracious reader, and books were my escape and pleasure. Perhaps it was a calling of my soul? In any case, in my bedroom holding a book, I transformed to a traveler and adventurer. The world was my oyster, and there was much to discover.

Flash forward many years, and I found myself traveling. It actually wasn’t something I planned. Life unfolded in such a way as to manifest my book-honed childhood dreams.

The title photo is one I took at Hat Maya, or Maya Beach, Thailand, a beach made famous in the 2000 movie “The Beach”. The water is really that color, as you will see if you go to this movie location link: The Beach 2000

The beach in my pic is a small one off to the right of THE beach in the movie. In actual fact, it is not seen at all in the film, and I was surprised to discover it when I traveled to the real deal. They also used clever camera angles in the movie to create the illusion of an enclosed bay. It’s really not. But illusion is a subject matter for a different day…

The real point being, be cognizant of your thoughts, because they really do eventually create your reality. What are you feeding your mind from your phone every day that is creating your future reality? Is it the life and world you want to see manifest eventually?

If you think of your life as a movie, you are both the star and the director. You have the power. Make it a good one!

Saying what others might be thinking, but are unable to say, is something I strive for every day with my writing. And if my well is dry on a particular day – it’s not that often – I search for and share the words of writers who came before me, ones who have inspired readers across the ages. Their words are timeless.

Writing in tempestuous times, and if you are speaking about anything that could be construed as controversial (isn’t that just about everything these days?), then putting down the words, and publishing them too, takes courage.

Perhaps if everyone knew the courage it takes for any creative person to bare their soul publicly, there would be more respect and appreciation for it in society. As we are not there yet, it therefore also takes a great deal of faith and tenacity to be a writer.

Courage and tenacity are challenges I accept willingly. What I would find impossible to bear is futility. I struggle with the concept of Likes, because good writers must let go of the need for approval. Having said that, those little faces and symbols at the bottom of the page (as well as the “faceless” readers who appear in my stats), sure do help to keep me going, so thanks. 🙂
