Someone Must Do It First...

It seemed that it was all of a sudden, but maybe it was one of those times when life creeps up on you and everything just comes together and seems to make sense.   What you know makes sense but you don't have the mechanisms down yet.  You can't just flip a switch or snap your fingers so now what?
"If we are truly who and what we say that we have become, this time in history is our opportunity to demonstrate our becoming.  Someone must do it first.  Someone must interrupt the cycles of thought and  belief that have allowed the disease, hunger and killing in the first place.  These patterns are part of us.  They originated within us, from among us, and that is precisely where the change must occur."
WALKING BETWEEN THE WORLDS  Gregg Braden
"Someone must do it first."  I must do it first.  You must do it first?

"Like a Circle that you Find...."

“Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind”

August, 2012.  Another circle.  Another cycle.  Another summer.  Another full moon.
August, 2012, has two full moons.   A blue moon it’s called.
Within the circles, within the cycles things change.  It seems to be human nature to resist change, but the change is inevitable.  Humans age.  People Die.  Animals die.  We lose loved ones.  We even evolve.   We humans even do change for the better.  Life can be good.  The changes can be good for us.   In fact, we create the changes in our lives.   Take a look at the circles, the spirals, the cycles in your life.  If you don’t like how they turn change them.

“Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking along the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand”

Lyrics from “The Windmills of your Mind” by Sting from the movie:  "The Thomas Crown Affair" 

Our Eternal Soul Lives On....

Life is a series of rhythms and cycles.   Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down.  The key to maintaining harmony is not letting the down cycles get to you.  And how do you do that?  Know that they are part of a cycle and that cycles are circles.   Recognize that you are in a down cycle and not allow fear or worry to take over.   Don't allow depression and feelings of worthlessness to take over during these times because these times pass.   If you have to,  just take a deep breath and know that things will be different in an hour, a day, a week.   They will change and you will be at the top of the cycle again.   Long ago I had a sign on a piece of wood hanging above my door.  "This Too Shall Pass".  We are eternal souls.   Things of this material world will pass but our eternal soul lives on and always has.   Interesting thought, isn't it? 

Cycles.... Change.....Choice.....

Cycles.... It is the time of the year that we move toward autumn.   The endless cycle of season, the endless cycle of life...And yet humans resist change.   We have a tendency to get comfortable where we are with what we are doing.    And yet change is inevitable.   Choose the changes you want in your life.  The changes in your life will affect the entire planet.  Choose carefully.
