Salutation

This is something we rarely do.
Tell me it is untrue.
No time to look in to anothers eyes,
No time to look up at the skies
No thime to see the eyes all a glow
Of that someone who you know.
All we do is a surface glance
and throw  a hug or handshake  askance.
Stop to look and find the time
You'll find a million dollar not a dime
The universe is what you'll see
If you look really well at me and I at thee!

Sometimes in a crowd we feel tired, cold, and lonely. We may wish to withdraw
to be by ourselves and become warm again, as I did when I closed the windows
and sat by the fire, protected from the damp, cold wind. Our senses are our
windows to the world, and sometimes the wind blows through them and disturbs
everything within us. Some of us leave our windows open all the time, allowing
the sights and sounds of the world to invade us, penetrate us, and expose our sad,
troubled selves. We feel so cold, lonely, and afraid. Do you ever find yourself
watching an awful TV program, unable to turn it off? The raucous noises,
explosions of gunfire, are upsetting. Yet you don't get up and turn it off.
Why do you torture yourself in this way? Don't you want to close your windows?
Are you frightened of solitude--the emptiness and the loneliness
you may find when you face yourself alone?

Essentialities…

Organize and prioritize tasks today,

That would mean working towards an accomplishing day.

Responsibilities in life, that are important for you.

Consider, things necessary for your growth, to do.

Work -life balance, time, a list of for essential thing,

Commit to accomplish, that which is important to your well-being,

Adding meaning to life, do all that fulfills it

Genuine priorities to be set to hilt.

Mundane task often we do prioritize,

To others expectations do we need to rise.

Stretching and straining others to please.

We need to get down to fundamentals and our needs ease,

Once we know the deeper meaning on the spiritual aspect,

Priorities with greater purpose will support,self respect.

Can I remember..........

what I may have forgotten long ago:

I am stronger than Ican begin to think,

I possess ............

greater capacity to love than I believe I do,

ability to heal the wounds that have defined me,

sufficient creativity to meet the challenges ahead,

capacity to be completely authentic in this second, right NOW.



NOW.

there is only now,

if I stay in the now and just remember it.

Night will follow day and be followed by Night

I will enjoy each moment if I live in the now.
