Adventurers

My grandson is an adventurer, he loves to test the boundaries of what he does. Jokingly I tell him that it's a jungle out there; that time and space aren't a place for "scaredies"; that toes are stubbed, hearts are broken, and dreams can seem to be shattered into a million pieces. 

I tell him that the illusions are so captivating, they won't even remember who they really are. And that the emotions can be so painful, at times they might fleetingly wish they had never been born. I tell him that once he pushes the boundaries he will be a better person.

But it's like, that just makes them want to go even more. He knows that even as he begins his life adventures his family will be there to cheer him on and to help him when he most needs it. We all have adventurers in our life, let us support them when they need our support.

Chance meetings

Met up with the dearest, little angel over the last weekend, but she was so, so sad.

She asked, in the sweetest of angel voices, how there can be so much love in the world, yet so few feel it. How there can be so much beauty, yet hardly anyone sees it. And how there can be so many miracles, yet most are ignored.

Poor thing.

So, I reminded her of something far more important. I reminded her that whether or not one knows of the love, they are still bathed in it. Whether or not they see the beauty, they still add to it. And whether or not they recognize the miracles, they are there and happen every single day.

Then, we both just beamed. Life is strange, but good

Finding true happiness

It takes a really special person, someone quite extraordinary, to find true happiness in the lap of luxury surrounded by wealth and abundance, friends and laughter, and choices, choices, choices.

And funnily enough, it's usually the exact same kind of person who can be happy without all that, spending time alone, maybe with a book, or some tools, or a dog for the odd distraction.

Get my drift?

Sunday, a day of rest and contemplation

We live in a time of fake news, fake posts, fake everything. We scramble to make sense of the information we are receiving on an hourly, daily, and weekly basis. 

What we need to remember is that nothing heals, helps, cures, mends, builds, clears, stabilizes, fixes, balances, restores, corrects, inspires, enables, empowers, enlightens or tickles, better than the truth. Ask for it by name,
