“When there is separation, there is coming together.When there is coming together, there is dissolution.All things may become one, whatever their state of being.Only he who has transcended see this oneness.”Chuang Tzu (3rd century B.C.)

The Oneness of Separation
Peaceful Moments
It is such a blessing to see deer! They are so elegant, graceful and gentle.
It is such a blessing to see them peaceful and at rest.
This usually does not happen in the wild as they are always on alert, always running away from possible harm.
It is so beautiful to see them just be.
It is such a blessing indeed!
Nourishment
Our physical bodies need physical food.
However not all food is created equal.
Just the same way, our spiritual self needs spiritual food.
But not all spiritual activities are equally satisfying for the soul.
Don’t let your self become malnourished either way.
Fun in The Sky
Life passes some of us very quickly, while for others it drags out.
No matter how you are moving through your life, don’t forget to have fun!
We are never too old to have fun. We are never too old to play.
So schedule in some fun into your days, and watch how your life transforms into the adventure you have always desired!
I Have the Whole World in My Hand
There were so many of them, each cuter than the other (not that one can really tell them apart).
Two became very friendly with us and after a few nuts, I got to experience a side of nature that I have to tell you I always dream(ed) of.
To look into the eyes of a wild animal, but at that a precious little animal who put its trust in you is one moving experience.
For me this was like having, as the song goes “the whole world” in my hands.
For in holding that precious life in the palms of my hands, I got to connect with the greater purpose that binds us all together, to appreciate life - all life, and to marvel at its magnificent existence.
Vacation Sunset
Sunsets are most popular on vacations, as it seems it is only then that we have the time to take them in, experience them and appreciate them.
Life does not need to be this way.
We can experience beautiful sunsets each day, if we choose. If we prioritize these events over an hour of television or a phone conversation.
Today I wish all of you, to experience the beauty you desire each day, not only on some select few days of the year.
Majestic Times
Feel it wash away all your worries and cares.
Feel it drown out the voices in your head.
Feel it dismiss the images in your mind.
Feel its power and majesty penetrate through you.
Do nothing but look at it, listen to it and feel it and it will do the rest.
Those are majestic times.
Real Illusions
But what really is reality? Take for example a rainbow.
You cannot touch it. You can never find where it really ends or where it begins. You cannot hold it. You cannot package it. You cannot buy it. You cannot smell it or taste it or hear it.
You can only see it and even some miss that part.
So is it reality or is it an illusion of personal perception.
Makes one wonder what else in life may just be an illusion of our perception…
The Miracle of Life
Sometimes life begins where we would least expect it.
Sometimes life exists where we would never imagine it could.
Life is like that.
It is we, who underestimate it.
Graceful Force
Some times in life the harder we push, the more resistance we encounter.
Nature does not push, it just flows.
Its greatest force is always rooted in grace.
May we thus be inspired to be more graceful in times where force prevailed.
May we thus be inspired to allow life to flow through us.
May we thus not resist life and the love of those around us.
Perspective of Size
How huge we are next to an insect.
How big we are next to a flower.
How small we are next to a tree.
How tiny we are next to a mountain.
It is important in life to know that perspective changes everything. Hence do not be so attached to a particular state of being as in another context that state no longer applies.
Sailing Through Life
Do not fear the temperatures of the waters.
Do not fear the vastness of the skies.
Instead set your own sail and sail through life.
Soar with the wind and glide with the waves.
Feel the aliveness within you and the joy of the Earth.
It really is an amazing way to go through life this way.
Universal Purpose
Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.Dr. Wayne Dyer
May we never forget just how meaningful we are to this universe, and how meaningful each aspect of nature is as well, from the tiniest spider to the grandest tree.
Simplicity of Being
Less words can speak more wisdom.
Less money can buy more happiness.
Less rules can bring more structure.
Less obligations can get more done.
The simplicity of being is something worth considering,
for any of us who are interested in the depth of life.
Serenity
One cannot help but be mesmerized by nature giving in to the night. It does not fight it, it does not resist it, and it is not upset by it. It simply allows.
Serenity to me means so much more than just being calm or tranquil.
It is living life in the flow of allowance, not resistance. It is about being part of the natural flow of things. It is also about accepting change around us with a polite ease.I hence leave you today with the following quote to reflect on:
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and
the wisdom to know the difference.” - St. Francis of Assisi
the courage to change the things I can, and
the wisdom to know the difference.” - St. Francis of Assisi
Your Personal Comouflage
It is indeed better to be silent at times, then to speak.
It is indeed better to blend in at times, then to stand out.
Although it is important to be and express yourself - there are moments in life when it is to your benefit to use ”your personal camouflage”.
Imagine the deer, that would run through the forest, when hunters are around.Imagine the crocodile, that would swim through the Nile, when the buffalo come to drink.
Imagine the mouse, who would play in the fields, when the hawk is flying above.
Indeed we can learn a lot from nature.
Indeed it is sometimes better to simply listen, rather than to speak.
Nature's Marvels
What is even more amazing is that once we open ourselves up to seeing beauty, we seem to be surrounded by it and running into it more and more frequently.
One of those marvelous and beautiful things are geese families in the spring.
There is something so pure, so lovable, so cute and so innocent about baby geese and their moms. Watching them walk, swim and experience the physical world for the first time is blissful!
There is order. There is stillness. There is love. There is a lot there for us to learn from.
Everyday Magic
Who says there is no magic in this world?
Look through the eyes of a child and you just might see some fairy dust being sprinkled around you.Look through the eyes of a believer and you might just see magical creatures around you.
Look through the eyes of a tree and you might just see infinite stillness.
Look through the eyes of a bird and you might just see the horizon beneath your wings.
Look through the eyes of God and you might just see the greatest expression of love.
Partners
There is perhaps no better feeling than to know you have someone by your side.
Someone who can enjoy with you all the ups and downs of life.
Someone who walks through life with you.
Someone who can support you, when you need support.
Someone who can understand you when you need to be understood.
Someone with whom you can be the everything you were meant to be.
Hence today, appreciate and be thankful, for the one who stands in life beside you.
Be grateful for their presence, no matter what form their presence may come in.
Just Being
Isn’t it great to just be? To spend time with others? To enjoy the company of a friend or a partner?
Isn’t it great to just be? To take in life? To look around in awe or gratitude for this world?
It is indeed great, JUST BEING!
Sparkling Moments
You will experience many different moments today.
How will you experience them?
Will you enjoy them all with pleasure?
Will you take in each one to its fullest as the moment presents it?
Or will you choose to resist it?
Will you choose to complain about it?
Will you ignore its presence as you put yourself in a future moment?
Know that each moment of your life, regardless what you are doing is priceless. It is precious and it is sparkling with opportunities for new growth and new life!
Discrimination
Why is it that some species are seen as better than others?
What is it about our preoccupation with favoritism?
While it is one thing to have a preference, it is quite another to discriminate unfairly.
If there is ever a species we are not quite fond of, may we find it in our hearts to give them a chance.
May we learn all there is about them and then decide how we really feel.
May we not go through life judging others based on false beliefs, that were not our own to begin with.
Blue Skies
May bright blue skies follow you wherever you go;
May singing birds fill your days with songs;
May luscious flowers line all your paths;
And may beauty and happiness fill all of your days!
Wishing you a wonderful day - today and always!
Pigeons Gatherings
We all enjoy different types of gatherings.
Some gatherings are for business, while others are for pleasure.
No matter what kinds of gatherings they are, may we always appreciate the contact we have with the beings with whom we gather.
May we always be grateful for the kindness, love, care and respect that we can express in gatherings.
May we rise to our highest, not lowest potentials in gatherings.
That is perhaps the greatest challenge of all.
Pausing Time
If everything just stopped for you in your life.
If someone hit the pause button, and you could just step back and observe.
What would you see?
How are you living your life?
How are you spending your time?
Are you happy with what you see?
If not; may you have the courage and the will to change that which does not serve your existence.
SkyWatch Friday - Blissfully High
In a world that all too often puts us down,
we need encouragement to shoot for the top.
we need encouragement to shoot for the top.
Don’t settle for anything that is not what or who you truly are.
Don’t let the egos of others push your dreams aside.
Reach for the top.
Grow in the areas of your passions.
And you will find yourself blissfully high;
Where nothing is impossible and the view is magnificent.
Where nothing is impossible and the view is magnificent.
Living Like Water
Today’s reflection comes to us from the life changing book “Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life” by Wayne Dyer, where he dissected the 81 verses of the ancient Chinese Tao Te Ching, with his own beautiful reflections. This is an excerpt from the 78th verse of the Tao Te Ching:
“Nothing in the world is softer
and weaker than water.
But for attacking the hard, the unyielding,
nothing can surpass it.
There is nothing like it.The weak overcomes the strong;
the soft surpasses the hard.
In all the world, there is no one who does not know this,
but no one can master the practice.”Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching
If we stop holding on so tightly to everything, and live like water, we may just find that our greatest strength shines through and there is nothing that we cannot be, do or have.
Jamshad
The Comfort of Alone
So many times life gives us chances to be alone.
Yet some of us seek others desperately, uncomfortable in our own skin.
But understand this;
There is perfection in everything.
Every moment. Every person. Every situation.
Thus enjoy the moments you are given alone.
Take that time to be with yourself. To get to know yourself. To fall in love with yourself.
When we go within, we become so much fuller and radiant to the outer world.
