Simplification looks like this: Minimalistic liberation - Less is more.
The less you own the less there is to take care of, and the more freedom you have. Period. If you are a slave to your "stuff", life becomes very complicated and burdened. It ties up your hands which are much needed to hold other hands. It troubles the mind, which is needed to create but most importantly… (big picture) puts value on "things" that are, in the end, simply useless (dl) Twisted 360
~ The magic happens when you actually see yourself in others; the connection is undeniable and we dance.
Good, bad or indifferent we are one.
The Faces are unique, the Soul is pliable, the minds will meld and we dance. We dance in the energy of understanding or chaos. In similarity and familiarity we attract or repel. We are weaving the tapestry of inner ties that go back farther than can be imagined. And it isn't until you lock on, eye to eye that the spiral reveals what you inherently know…That the "Whole" is a Universal Parent. (dl)
~ Thank you.... (dl)
~ The circle can look like this:
Think good things and good things happen which makes you think about more good things Or…
Think bad things and bad things happen which makes you think about more bad things..
As always, life is a choice (a trace of the Mobius) (dl)
~ There is pure potential and subtle power in simplicity..
Complications only bind so when it gets to a point where you are so constricted you cannot breathe, it is an unequivocal sign there is too, too much. Too much emotion, too much static, too much noise..
Less is far more eloquent than words; lose yourself in simple pleasures...and when you feel it, you know it to be true because it feels like an unattached freedom and it is peace….
Leave the complications to Nature, our hearts are better off left in simplicity. (dl)
Cross the bridge, don't burn it..
~ If you look back at where you came from and why you crossed from one side to the other, it usually is motivated by disruption. And although going back is rarely a desirable option, there may be that time when getting back over is a necessity - so remember.. a burnt connection will not hold up under your weight.. (dl)
Take a chance and make a change...
It isn't until you re-take your life into your own hands, caress the responsibilities and decisions of your past and present, (that make up your future), that you will heal old "stuff" and move on..Waiting for change ? you wait in a wasteland. Do what is needed, do something. One small step equals a lifetime of what if.. Think how much "should and could" is eliminated the minute are ready and willing to walk on.. (dl) Twisted 360
~ Our darkest moments bring us closer to the heart, the cleanest understanding, and enable new perspective of an old vision. It is here, when we are at rock bottom, that ego is pushed aside and not too much matters except climbing back out of the black hole we fell into. This is raw truth. Uninhibited and humble.. We grow through the sincerity of the pain naked to the self - exposure is wiser for the moment and is pure grace in the making (dl)
~ Do you remember when being self conscious was portrayed as a bad thing and as an insecurity? This "label" is usually attached to a quiet introspective Soul… But now, knowing better (coming into your own) being self conscious is actually a compliment to a humble state of presence, and if it is your way, congratulations..it means you live in awareness. No shame in silent solitude... ever <3 (dl)
"What you seek, is seeking you". ~ Rumi
Therefore you seek in vain.
The paradox of our living.. Live and let live so it (whatever it is) may come to you. Too much, as you know only blinds and disables. What you have now is more than enough to sustain you. Look inside, say Thank you. Let go of desire so there is room for what is waiting.. As soon as you do without thought, Love enters <3 Twisted 360
It isn't physical cancer that take us out, it's the mental cancer called desire..
~ We daydream to escape inner reality, wanting the "beautiful" life, things and places, all of which are very nice yet what is the true allure? To rid our mind of what haunts the heart… We can run but we cannot hide. And If we get there, (wherever there is) the scenery may be different, but the truth inside remains the same.
None of the pretty pictures will take care of our inner reality, there is no quick fix. As my dear friend says "The heart and mind are with you everywhere as you go." To truly appreciate where you are, first you must appreciate who you are. Period. Until you do, escapism will only push you deeper into the abyss.. desire destroys. Joy is only found where you make it but participation is fully required. (dl) Twisted 360
~ Once you walk through the fire and get burned, you have a whole new respect for what the flame can do...Love is that flame... <3 (dl)
"When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed." *Chuang Tzu
Crafted…
~ To locate our reasons of life, and what it is we are to do... Maybe someone needed your presence today, or you could use theirs. Maybe our purpose is to allow someone else to fulfill their own. Maybe there are words to be shared or things to do that will impact another throughly, and give them a new perspective of life.
This is why intention and mindfulness are imperative. Sometimes in give or receive we have no idea what impact it has on another and.. it does make a difference. This is pay it forward and the echo rolled into one. Pondering life? Look no further than the energy of the inner smile. Received and returned with integrity and then the question of "maybe" turns into affirmative <3 (dl)
~ Shadow boxing? When an old habit has crept up and allowed in, do you feel the agitation? Wallowing the muck hurts more now than ever. Hello rising force. It is your conscious pain, growing pains and the Soul that is ascending. The relief is a 2 part process. 1) - Forgive your heart and ego/mind for going there. 2) - Detach from the one or the situation that brought you back. Remember, lessons are repeated until we have received them and they have taught us well.. Even when we are standing in the light we still throw a shadow, and it is always more fun to play with it than fight it. The beauty of the shadow is you can make it larger or smaller by simply changing your position. (dl)
"Tend your garden" - Voltaire
~ For a world that proclaims that "all we want is peace", it never ceases to amaze how much time and effort is spent in tearing Peace apart. Everything is a competition but there is no winner. This mentality is the a paradox of our ignorant desires and the reflection of ego/mind trying to right the wrongs with the right (justify by inversion) but, it is inherently backwards...
Resistance can not grow flowers in the fertile story line of hate. Hate is just the fuel for weeds and no matter how "important" we are, what accomplishments are made, who or what it is we know, arrogance breeds more arrogance when an eye for an eye is an accepted solution.
The words Wake UP have never been more revenant to the current condition of our Planet and the mind set of a Universe divided..
Hands together, head to the sky In a moment of silence. Pause. Requesting a life time of unity. (dl)<3
~ I had vindication and only felt remorse. Satisfaction misplaced, and sadness set in…
Vindication is no replacement for forgiveness, and "Right" means nothing when it feels so wrong…
The Ego hurts just as much in healing as it does in conceit (remember, it is all energy) Notice when it (the ego/mind) begins to die and let go, and it no longer lives in vain.. a major shift has occurred. Say Thank You. Breathe a sigh of gratitude, lesson well learned.. the higher way is beholden and always available <3 (dl)
~ Seek betterment, not happiness. Peace not quantity. The nature of your rising Soul is found inside and there is no attainment until you are at peace with the happiness you already have, and that you already are..
There isn't a measurement just improvement, one step at a time.. Walk on <3 (dl)
~ This is said all the time " I don't have an Artistic bone in my body"…
Humm, not in my circle. <3 I believe everyone is painting their own landscape and as you develop more love and compassion, that Artist inside you unfolds.
Think about the simple yet beautiful effort of just extending a hand. Think about the smile, what light and comfort that emits and tell me again you are not Artistic? As in all things it is perspective. The View you hold, the view you receive, the view you give is colored by many things.. From the intensity of classical training to the fluidity of the abstract.
Art is life and we are all creating it every moment as we walk and talk, unite in the painting of our living and quietly revel the gray scale of dusk to dawn..
Don't ever sell yourself short. The appreciation for the most minimal thing(s) is what Art is all about and you can enjoy it on either side of the inner brush (dl)
Artist - unknown
~ Be fiercely truthful in a quiet demeanor. The volume of your presence is felt when it is simply silent. There, in observation the world is in front of you begging for attention with noise, movement and turmoil trying to divert all thought.. (The language of ego/mind can be tricky, so discernment is wise). But there is a unique understanding One to One, eye to eye in silence that most do not want admit. It is so raw that it is often denied. It is a powerful energy, an advancement of inner trust. But do not mistake that power for grace, revere it. Today, for just a moment, bow to your silence and then share it without words (dl)
~ Just because you have a past doesn't mean you have to wear it..
Some think the forgetting of day to day is a sign of a problem or old age.. I say it is lack of attachment and a sign of wisdom. It is good to reflect but no need to hold on to anything. Isn't funny how the past memory serves us. We can use it or let it use us. Truisms will stay, if we let them. Our being is based on where we have been, but to keep it current is to simply be done with what we have done and build on it, no need to dwell on it..(dl)
~ No matter how much internal detox you do, it is useless unless you purify the poisoned mind.
The problem is our own deficiency (the lack of seeing things for what they truly are). There is a tainted Idea of way we think things [should] be or happen. Perhaps a different view.
Problems are opportunities, difficulties are transition...
Turmoil and chaos come to us to reveal, teach and renew. Each on has it's special set of information which is coded exactly for our progress (nothing is a coincidence). As soon as this is accepted into practice, life takes on a whole new meaning and peace will find you but.. you have to get out of your own way. No more excuses or denial. Be open, be willing, to be.. (dl) Twisted 360
~ When you finally accept inner abundance, the longing for outer abundance disappears, priorities change, and life eases… Money can not buy peace and happiness is internal. If we teach our children this, it is the beginning of an end to obesity, greed, debt, and the desire to have a materialistic life. Look inside, balance is waiting. (dl)
There is a difference between not understanding and not wanting to understand.. it's called Ego.
Don't let pride be confused with stubbornness, that is a sure fire way to obstruct flow. The value of possibility is priceless and for every unanswered question, the mind can find reason and logic of to and fro but what makes sense is only what feels good, wanted, accepted, and then willing to be put it into practice (dl) Twisted 360
~ And that little voice? Annoying, unyielding and insistent is the one that sets you free, sets you straight, and makes you crazy.. but must be heard now. Loud isn't it?
We have all stepped up. All of us. So acting on intuition must be your new norm. Second guessing will set you back every time. Synchronicity, coincidence, deja vu, Get used to it. We are in training mode now with totality. It isn't about power..we have enough of that, it is redistribution and balance. Embrace that song in your head, the voice that really loves you. Every little spark can ignite fire.. Dance in it. This is your only duty of the Now (dl)
Relationship problems? Go back for a moment and remember why you chose them…
~ If you don't trust them, everything they do looks deceitful. If they irritate you, everything they say will hold no meaning. Now ask yourself how much more time will be spent here? All the excuses can not, will not fix or repair what your true heart knows. And when it is exposed, both sides breathe.. Living on thin ice is so stressful and apparent. Express yourself. Get to solid ground, hold your head high as you pick up the pieces and walk on…(dl)
