Passing Time

We tend to go through this life in a hurry, barely slowing down for anything. Meals are even a rush, as we are always trying to keep up with the daily tasks and expectations for ourselves, so the days just zoom by. Before we know it, another year has gone by. Another holiday is around the corner. We have aged and still haven’t reached many of our goals or experienced many of the things we had hoped to by this time in our lives.

Time is not an object.

Time is not something we can earn back.

Time is steadily passing us by, as we hurry and hurry to get nowhere fast.

As we watch our children grow, or see the skin on our faces change with time, we look back and think about all the things we had hoped to do with our lives. We think about the experiences we have had, and the time we hope that we have left. Maybe this changes things a bit, seeing how time isn’t slowing down, but our bodies really would like us to.

Time doesn’t wait for us to decide to be more patient.

Time does not tell us we better hurry up and accomplish our goals.

Time does not stop and go backwards so we can fix past mistakes.

There is an unknown amount of time for each of us. We are not given a choice to stay or go, at any age. We must make the best of this time that we have. It is up to us how we spend our time, in this life. We can spend it rushing through or we can spend it moving a bit slower and enjoying it a bit more. You choose.

Time is what you make it.

Time is on you side or it isn’t.

Time is passing by…

How will you choose to spend the rest of it?

Freedom

Why is freedom so hard to imagine?

We want to be free to think and to live the way we want, yet there is one thing after another that locks us into submission to continue to think and live within boundaries of fear and self-criticism.

Being human is limiting, but we are more than that.

Having a mind and a consciousness creates a messy situation, as we constantly search for something or someone to believe in.

Why not look to ourselves and see our endless potential?

Why, instead are we seeking outward support or guidance which ends up limiting us to their opinions or limited beliefs?

We are not these bodies.

We are not these minds.

We are spirit.

We are energy.

We are endless and are capable of more than we allow ourselves to believe.

Government, church, religion, so much has corrupted us…

So much has brain-washed us into believing that we are limited.

Look to the birds, when you feel stuck.

Look to the birds when you feel less than capable.

Look to nature when you feel trapped.

Look to nature when you feel disconnected from yourself.

You are free.

You are all that you want and all that you hope to be.

It is all within you.

Healing

We heal when we remember we are part of nature.

We heal when we remember we are whole.

We are healing, with every breath, with every moment, with each movement.

We are healing.

We are whole.

Focus

Focus your thoughts on each moment.

Let go of the last.

Understand you will get to the future.

You are here, now.

Bring your focus in.

Searching

For so long, I had hoped to find someone…

Someone to lean on,

Someone to talk to,

Someone to love…

For so long I thought that would be the answer, to get out of these storms, out of the depths of this open water.

Finally I learned…

It was never going to be someone…

It was never going to be a person…

It was just always going to be me…

For so long I had felt lost…

For so long, I thought I needed to be found…

Finally, I found myself.

Yet, I still linger, in this deep ocean, but no longer searching.

No longer lost.

No longer waiting fo someone to rescue me.

No longer waiting for someone to love me or to laugh with me.

I can laugh with myself.

I can love myself.

I am found.

I found me.

-M.

Belief

We are all diferent.

None of us the same.

You believe this.

They believe that.

It doesn’t matter.

It’s all the same.

You put them down,

For being different.

They lift you up,

For being the same.

Who holds the truth,

What is truth,

What is the meaning,

For this life,

For this world,

For none are the same.

There is no right.

There is no wrong.

A belief of a meaning,

A certain type of spiritual being,

It’s just love.

It’s all love.

One in the same.

Different, for each and every worldly being.

Love is the truth.

Love is the meaning,

Love is the reason,

Love is at the center,

Of all things.

-M.

Don’t Stay

Don’t stay.

You can survive on your own.

You don’t need him.

You are capable without her.

If he puts you down, walk away.

If she hurts you again, shut that door.

Walk away.

Don’t stay.

Get out of town.

Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.

Do it for him.

Do it for her.

Most of all, do it for you.

Don’t stay.

-M.

A Flame in the Wave

It came at us like a wave, full of passion, full of life.

There was a fire inside of us.

A burning flame, one that not even a wave could wash away.

With each wave from life, , it would just reignite.

A fire so bright, not even time could dim.

If the waves carry us away, back to each other we will always swim.

A flame in the wave of life, that is what we are.

Life has kept us apart, though we won’t always be so far away.

Only time will show us what will be left, as we have to accept life and let go.

Only time will show us, if this flame is able to grow, while we have to stay apart, for a little while longer.

No matter how long, no matter the distance, we won’t ever truly be apart.

I’ll be here waiting, keeping the fire burning in my heart.
