This is a follow up on my original post
I Take To Be Real.

What one takes to be real is what we believe, what we take to be true in our world.  They are often statements that contain the words: I, I am, me, myself.  These statements reveal what we believe and take to be real [...]

I have often heard it said: take time to smell the roses.  Take time is an
interesting phrase, isn’t it?  As if we could take it, steal it, lose it or the many
other things we associate with “time”.
And actually I digress because what I really want to talk about is not the roses
and not time but [...]

I want you to do something. I want you to deal with this for the following week:
`This is my world, and in my world I am good.´ And I want you to apply that to
your lives. I want you to write what it means to you and how it can change your
lives if you realize [...]

Let me fall. I first heard and sang this song at the Church of Religious Science in Dallas. I am told it originally was written for Cirque du Soleil and later made famous by Josh Groban.

I had this dream last night.  I was in my living room and I heard
a voice from behind me say: your fears are not real.

effort on the little, locally focused me to breathe life [...]

This is about distraction or the lack thereof…
It was in the midst of an email conversation with my good friend
Belle that I felt inspired to start a 30 day program.
What it entails is basically every time I have a ‘negative’
thought, I acknowledge it with one word: “distraction” and
then I move on.   This includes all concerns [...]

Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods. Every
time you do, you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.
-Alexander Graham Bell
What an interesting quote on the virtues of an adventuresome spirit.  I was
pondering if Abraham’s definition of contrast, or what feels like unwanted
events, isn’t an invitation to leave [...]
