Thoughts on a Sunday Rainy Morning...

This is Christmas week.  I am not a religious person by any stretch of the word.  However, I am deeply spiritual or so I would call it.  There are defining moments in our lives...many defining moments and how we choose to use those is up to us.  Conversations we have whether they are voiced face to face or typed via some other medium can have an impact.  A question.  A statement.  Clarity.

Each of has the choice within us to decide what impact those defining moments have.  We can remain static.  Do nothing more then existing.  We can become the victim and let that consume us our entire lives.  Or...we can realize that how we react and deal with it is better.  Give one's self time to absorb the moment taking neither credit nor blame for it.  Moving forward in a positive direction.

For myself I have come to realize at this late stage of my life...this life the one I live now that it is intrinsic for me to pack as much into it as I possible can.  I never go backwards.  Always move forward.  A new adventure seems to always be around the next corner for me.  I breath in life and all that surrounds me and it emerges in my writing...in my photography and in my silks...each one has a part of me in them but then all that is the creative part of me does.

I am so fortunate to have learned what is important and no matter how difficult things/life can be and how choices can be painful at times...you just cannot choose to be static or a victim...active participation is what it's about....always going forward...always being true to the core of you.

Namaste
