Today's Thoughts

Hello again - the blog has been patiently waiting....

It's 12.12.12 - and I think it's a bit funny that these numbers mean 'something' to so many!

If we hadn't created the calendar in the first place, what would we do about today? It would just be another day, right?

And what is "just" another day? Isn't every day a space/time/line experience to treasure, to show our stuff, to enjoy, learn, laugh, love, and live....to cry and holler and whine and plead.... to figure it all out. If we didn't measure time at all, what would that be like?

My experience is that there is 'flow' to space/time. When I 'go with the flow', life happens in a more peaceful and easy-going manner. When I try to force life to fit my schedules, it just laughs! Even though it takes more patience to Flow, ultimately, it works best.

So enjoy your amazing ride through space/time - and take all the meaning from today, and every day, that you can.

Why not?
