Ocean

Sit beside the ocean

Look at the waves

As they hit the shore

Meditate, breathing

in…. and out….

It is so very soothing

It centers your mind

This enormous creature

With powers so vast

One minute - high waves

next minute - so calm

Stay in the element

Feel the rapidly shifts

Aliveness…..

Awareness…….

BE……….

LIFE

LIFE is rare and
Life is fragile,
Life is full of unexpected events

Life takes all sorts of turns,
Left turns, right turns , even u turns sometimes,
So why do we play it safe?

Be bolder – dare more – take some chances
Cause you never know….

Did you have your wake-up call?

Next level

I’ve always been of the opinion that I needed to manage everything myself.  It wouldn’t be the thing that I couldn’t fix or handle. The last few years I’ve more and more got the feeling of not coping with it all which kind of scared me, but it also made me think it is time to let go…. Let go of the control, let go of the managing. So, what if I can’t do all? Is it really a big deal? No of course not.

It comes a time in life when you just have to give in and let go. Just surrender to life! I think I am at that point in life right now, or maybe when I think this through, I’ve been at that point many times. It comes in stages I think. Every now and then things move towards a shift in life, and all situation and happenings lead to that shift. At a point one just has to surrender to get to the next level.

As I write this I’m thinking it’s like playing a computer game or similar, you have to do certain tasks and pass certain tests, find clues and ways to get through to the next level. Maybe this is how life is!

Hello next level, I’m ready! ………. what do you have in store for me???

Where are you my love

How can I get through to you my love

You give me pieces and bits

Let me in on what’s troubling you

Let me be there by your side

At times I see you sitting there

You seem to be withdrawn

From everything that’s here on earth

I wonder where you’re gone

In deepest thoughts - away from here

Your mind has wandered off

Oh please, oh please my dearest love

Won’t you share your world with me

I want so much to comfort you

To tell you it’s alright

And guide you through to paradise

To see your smile so bright

I reach out and touch your face gently

You’re startled and surprised

You turn to me and softly say

I love you, with a smile ღ

Living in the moment

Stop yearning
stop wanting
just let go

Give over
give in
go with the flow

Start being
start doing
float downstream

Acknowledge
the feeling
of just LIVING ☺ღ☼
