all good

Wow, a lot has happened since I was last here, potential earthquakes and grid firing and freezing temperatures and growth and letting go and more growth and fun, fun, fun.

I find myself at one of those points in my life when I don’t have much to say. Life is good. Been reading a lot and going inside a lot and being quiet a lot. And it feels nice to pause before I act and send out a simple prayer. It’s from Hawaiian Ho'oponopono and it’s usually one, some or all of these lines. I love you. Thank you. Please forgive me. and I’m sorry. In no particular order, though they always seem to take an order of their own to fit the situation and they are so amazingly simple and yet so powerful.

Taking the briefest moment to remember who I am and why I’m here totally changes the tone of my days. I’m amazed that I was able to live with as much negativity as I was unconsciously putting out.

I love you.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I’m sorry

Seems like the shortest distance between where I am and where I say I want to be. Who'd have thought it could be so simple.

Thank you.

Yesterday, I got the most pleasant suprise, my sister gave me a copy of the latest book by Paulo Coelho as a belated birthday gift.

I’ve just finished my first reading of the book and my first impression was that it is a very very dangerous book. It is an encounter with a total new way of being, a sort of crossroads from where life moving forward will never be the same again. It is a call to be different and yet at the same time sets you up for failure.

Many will read the book, feel that stirring within to dare to be bold, to be different and then when faced with the mundaneness of reality, cast their dreams aside and settle for a world that is familiar, safe, and more easily understood. Others though may recognise the stirring as that magic that has guided the best moments in their lives and choose to wake up to it and pay more attention to the signs that life throws along their path.

This book can only bring to you what is already part of your existence and the danger is that there are those that may fail to recognise this.

I want to read it again. I devoured it all in one evening and now I want to take time and be with the subtleties and the nuances. Like all of Paulo’s books, they seem to find me with some sense of serendipity, showing up at just the perfect time, revealing something to me that I am finding myself bringing into closer focus. I suppose it is because when writing his books, he chooses to be guided by the Divine, becoming like his Athena a way in which we can come into contact with the Soul of the World.

Thank you Mr. Coelho.

in plain sight

All the greatest secrets of the world lie hidden in plain sight. Right before your very eyes. The secret is to go inside and find that willingness to see what had been previously kept from you.

It is revealed. It has all been revealed. The answer to every question or dilemma that you may have. It is yours if you are willing to reach out and touch it. If you are willing to get to the end of your knowing and to open yourself up to that state of knowingness.

Hidden in plain sight.

Open your eyes and see it.
