That was the question asked at a recent “reunion” of  old friends after quite a while.

By on 06/13/2019 in Expectations, Meaning, Passion, Persistence, Purpose, Relationships, The Bigger Picture, Time

It was a beautiful day in Colorado today. It was a day to just take a long quiet meditative peaceful walk. No headphones. No cutting off from the world.  As I walked I began to notice things you usually don’t pay attention to. A singular flower. Fresh  cut grass. The clouds passing by.  The sounds […]

There is no other

By on 06/06/2019 in Expectations, Meaning, Passion, Persistence, Purpose, Relationships, The Bigger Picture, Time

I keep thinking what is the way to get across the concept that “ there is no other”. Whether challenging times…. or the best of times … there is no other time in your life then this  one right now … so be present and tap into all you have    We need to find […]

See it finally

See it finally. The first and last happens every second of your life. It is the first and last moment for that moment. That includes your life… breath by breath. It means being with someone you love…realising that each second is the first and last.  Feel it.  Understand it. Only then can you be in […]

Grateful

By on 05/04/2019 in Ageless, Expectations, Meaning, Passion, Persistence, Purpose, Relationships, The Bigger Picture, Time

We all know what it feels like to challenge ourselves and test our personal barriers.  The day is not promised to any of us. So we wake up and have to decide to get on with this one day we have or hide from this moment in time. It is all so fragile. You go […]

A golden time

By on 04/07/2019 in Expectations, Meaning, Passion, Persistence, Purpose, The Bigger Picture, Time

Throughout time there have been moments where philosophy, artistry… in fact… all creativity in all aspects of society seems to be positive, uplifting, thoughtful and life fulfilling.

Hour of the Wolf/In These Five Breaths

By on 03/31/2019 in Ageless, Expectations, Meaning, Passion, Persistence, Purpose, Relationships, The Bigger Picture, Time

The common theme is the frailty of it all. And therefore the gift that must be appreciated. It is but a single breath that separates each of us from eternity. It is the single day that must be lived wisely. If you understand that truth the magic of the world opens up to you. The […]

Push back

By on 03/17/2019 in Expectations, Meaning, Passion, Persistence, Purpose, Relationships, The Bigger Picture, Time
