We Desire

Charles Darwin said,
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
nor the most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

In our world that exists
in each moment moving forward
only because of change
this is so very true.

We may spend our time
sitting around
lamenting
what we cannot do
because of
this
that
and the other
or
we may spend our time
giving some thought and planning
to the things we see as barriers
to the things we want to do
and then take a step back
and strip our wants and desires
to their bare cores
rather than how we have
dreamed they will manifest
and through this process
we will be able to
work out other ways
or simply
remain focused on
true and authentic objectives
so that the universe can provide
and we can move forward
and change
with the world
and thereby be delivered
all that we desire.

To Know

How do you see the world?

What colour are the lenses
of your glasses?

How do you want to
see the world?

I don't ask
because
I want to know.

I ask
because
I want you to know.

More Grateful

Spending time outside
really seems to help
even when I don't want to be there
if there is a breeze
then I feel blessed.

Spending time inside
preferably wasting time on the computer
even when I should be doing something else
is how I would live my life
if I was alone
and I know that my life is meant for
more than this.

Spending time writing
allowing the spark
that comes easily in terms of flow
but with great difficultly in terms of time
reminds me how long things can take
but how much I love and value them
and how much they make me love and value myself.

Spending time sleeping
doesn't usually make me feel less tired
but it does make me feel
like I have invested in myself
and my health
and I cherish the days
that I can do this.

Spending time smiling
and reflecting on the things I am grateful for
warms my heart
and fills my soul
more and more these days
and every time this happens
I notice it
and am even more grateful.
