Since I’ve been back from vacation I have hardly posted. I have a number of post in the working, but none seem to be expressing my thoughts properly. It’s not so much “Posters Block” as it is word and structure block.

If an athlete takes a two week break from physical regime, when they return they will find that they are not at the peak that they were two weeks prior. And to return to that peak they have to take things easy for a few days and begin the process of reconditioning them selves.

As the saying goes; “If you don’t use it you loose it”.

This holds true in all things, whether physical, intellectual, or emotional. And when it has been lost, you have to take it easy and recondition yourself. Part of that process is realizing that you will not be able to just continue at the same peak you left off at.

For me too, I realize that for a few days my posts wont be up to the quality that I had 2-3 weeks ago. Though I do know that by the end of next week I will be better than I was before I took my vacation.

In 2006 I planned to begin Tomorrow. Every morning I would wake up, only to find Today.

So I waited.

In 2006 I was frustrated with what I didn’t accomplish Yesterday. I tried to get back, but every morning I would wake up and only find Today.

So I waited.

In 2006 I wanted to know everything before I started. There was always more to learn.

So I waited.

In 2006 I waited for the perfect moment. It was always lacking.

So I waited.

In 2006 I feared change and failure.

So I waited.

At the end of 2006 I realized that Tomorrow and Yesterday are out of my reach. I only have Today. That there will always be more to learn, that the only one perfect moment is now, and fear is powerful when we embrace it.

In 2007.

I stopped waiting.

Life is an uphill climb up an never ending mountain, with no plateaus. Your are either moving forward, or falling backward. There is no such thing as staying still. The only time you stop is when you dig your eternal cave. And the view from that cave depends on how high you climbed.  The fuel that moves you forward is honesty, integrity, love, compassion and the like. The sludge that causes you to slip down the mountain is, falsehood, corruption, hate, cruelty, etc. 

Though you can never reach the top, your goal is to get the best view possible. 

 Feelings are self propagating the more you focus on them the more they multiply.

If you focus on negative feelings you will give birth to negative energy.

If you focus on positive feelings

you will give birth to positive energy……….LIFE.
