Walking my labyrinth...

Posted on Jun 2nd, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 02, 2009:

Am walking my labyrinth, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, sometimes pausing to reflect or simply feel love, peace, bliss. And  my labyrinth is within a bigger one that encompasses every other labyrinth.  I know I'm on the path that leads to universal love and peace just as you are and I'll meet you on the way and at our common destination when it's time.  Meanwhile let\s walk and grow in love, there's much to learn and experience...

Wet pants: an anecdote

Posted on Jun 3rd, 2009 by Mila : love Mila

This was passed on by a friend and would like to share it with you:

WET PANTS

Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old
kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between
his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is
going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has
happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys
find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out,
they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and
prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now!
Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'

He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in
her eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is
carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in
front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the
boy's lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself,
'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy
is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives
him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other
children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The
sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that
should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough,
you klutz!'

Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the
boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't
you?' Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'

Focused on what's happening

Posted on Jun 6th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 06, 2009:

If you read through my blogs, you'll get to know.  But what has happened is not as important as what's happening. Prefer to focus in the moment, the present.

Living is fun!

Posted on Jun 6th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 04, 2009:

I think so.  Living is fun, it all depends on how you look at it.  There are so many  little things in life that is a source of fun and joy and love but often they get overshadowed by the big forest.

The possibilities are endless. Could feel like life is inching forward, snail pacing, leap frogging, fluttering, floating, whirling, circumnabulating, plunging, spiraling, surfing, blasting....One thing for sure, life is progressing.

Positive energy

Posted on Jun 11th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 11, 2009:

I guess I would give what's much needed nowadays, i.e. positive energy, through a smile, hug, prayer, not passing judgement, giving another the benefit of a doubt, spreading cheer, listening from the heart, listening to my intuition....

A budding poet and skateboarder

Posted on Jun 13th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
002

When I go rolling on my skateboard,

I feel the wind blow on my face.

My body glides along in freedom,

And then my foot keeps up the pace.

I must lean just right to make the curve,

Then get my balance back on track.

I look for the chance to do a trick,

I start the move….no turning back.

I catch the air and do a kick-flip,

The board goes round and meets my feet.

I get anxious as I start a trick,

But glad it's ended safe and neat.

My board becomes part of my body,

I cannot be whole without it.

What if it breaks and leaves me stranded?

How can I get there? ……..I’ll just sit!

How do you share what you've learned?

Posted on Jun 15th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 15, 2009:

By just being me when I interact with others, they could pick up some learning that I might not intentionally be teaching them. I may get to learn that I passed on some wisdom when they tell me so, but it doesn't really matter even if I don't get to know.  What matters is that learning never stops for everyone.  There's so much to learn in life and beyond.  And we all learn something from one another when we interact mindfully.

Fractal
Each one's reason for being lies deep within so it's a matter of going deeper, listening, then traversing one's spiritual path.

Wandering thoughts, not sensing the life in my body, getting impatient can take me away from my present moment.

All the places you will go...

Posted on Jun 24th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
Excerpts from Dr. Seuss' "Oh, All the Places You will Go"

This was passed on by a friend friend whom I recently met online and I felt like sharing its uplfiting and inspiring vibes.

 I found the message timely (and I enjoyed the rhythmic fun of it) as it came when I was still debating in my mind whether to consider a challenging and rewarding full-time job or get on with my enterprise.  I chose the latter of cousrse.

(Read it out loud to have fun with the rhyme)

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places.
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decided where to go.

Oh All the places you will go!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heighs.

................

Except when you don't.
Because sometimes they won't
I'm afraid that some times you'll play lone games too.
Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go though the weather be foul
On you will go through the Hakken-Kraka howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike.
And I know you'll hike far and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So... get on your way!

The magic of synchronicity!

Here's an interesting read about the subject

http://www.intentblog.com/archives/2007/03/hqr_burden_of_p.html


"The Police" had an interesting set of lyrics within "Synchronicity":

With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance, a dream dance,
A shared romance,
Synchronicity

A connecting principle,
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible.
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible.

If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi.

If you act, as you think,
The missing link,
Synchronicity.

We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity.

A star fall, a phone call,
It joins all,
Synchronicity.

It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity.

Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
Synchronicity...

Artistic Impression of Synchronicity - I

India hs a similar concept, called auspicious coincidence (The Sanskrit word is Pratitya-Samutpada) and/or interdependent co-origination; strongly hinting at the basic definition of synchronicity as a coming together of several factors which, in concert, give rise to a certain situation.

The term "synchronicity" is viewed as the term "coincidence" by those who do not find themselves perceptually within the flow of Consciousness.

With the basic frequency of the environment of the universe increasing, the concept of synchronicity is very important, because the ongoing perception of it is a "marker" of the relationship between one's consciousness and the subjective reality one perceives.

Path of adventure

Posted on Jun 24th, 2009 by Mila : love Mila
This resonated with me and I hope you'll find it so too!

Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white. - Mark Jenkins
