The Drama.

We all have our disadvantages in life. 
Wether it be something small,
like a teacher that doesn't favor us,
or something big,
like a lifelong disability. 

Its our attitude that writes our story.

If we get caught in the drama,
we just add to our karma
If we rise to the test,
we discover our best.

When we discover our best,
we reveal our true essence
and we give others the opportunity,
to discover their lessons.
We give others an illustration,
of living in the present.

For it is only in the now,
that we will find any atonement.
It is only in the now,
that we can overcome our opponent,
who is that little word doubt,
that doesn't live in the moment.

Our Holy Grail.

Instrumental to us all,
is our ability to enthrall.
To capture the spirit of the moment,
and to give the moment our withal.

It's our gratitude for the experience,
that fills our hearts with great warmth.
It's our gratitude to ourselves,
for having transformed,
from that doubt in our hearts,
that we carried for so long.
From that doubt in our hearts,
we are realized and reborn.

In this moment of great love,
we have finally let go.
From the habit to hesitate,
we have finally grown.

Instead, we have the ability,
of grabbing life by the tail
and we're not letting go,
till we've reached,
our Holy Grail.

Lest We Forget.

Lest we forget,
in this time of unrest,
of a time not long past,
when we were put to the test.

In a time not long gone,
when we were not found wanting.
In a time not long gone,
that was fearful and confronting.

Lest we forget,
those brave silent souls,
who gave so selflessly
and with such determined resolve.

So that we in this moment,
on this grey cloudy day,
can look back and remember
and give thanks as we pray.

For those soldiers and nurses,
who gave everything they possessed
and passed with such humility
and honor ability,
an unquestionable test.

Thank you brave warriors,
who paid the ultimate price,
for the freedom we have
and for such generosity
and might.

Life Just Happens.

My beautiful big Sis has just been diagnosed with Cancer.
My marriage seems to have lost its way.
And yet I am filled with with so much hope and love for everything and everyone, in this world.

Life just happens around us without us worrying or stressing or doubting or fearing.
When we accept what's going on around us, when we truly surrender to Gods will and smile, we have won.
And the prize is a profound love like nothing we have felt before.

Meanwhile Dinners done, homework's done and the kids need to get in the shower, life goes on...
But the moment was sweet and we have only the moment, the joy and the love. :)
