no more haiku’s… for now
Posted: February 3, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: experimentation, Friday Leave a commentI’ve decided to take a break on the daily haiku’s. While they are fun, it was starting to be a burden and I was just forcing the issue. Like it or not, I’m going to continue to write, but will be taking time to explore some other areas for awhile. Maybe some new poetry, maybe some new short stories. The blog world is my oyster!
be you
Posted: February 2, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: happiness, lego my ego Leave a commentSometimes you have to take one step back to take two forward. Sometimes you need to take a day off to get better. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You will not be the greatest in the world… so what? Focus on being you. That is your gift – uniqueness.
Nirvana is just breath away.
Posted: February 1, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: happiness, lego my ego, the way Leave a commentAfter a few weeks off I got a yoga practice in today. The clarity, the truth, the comes from a session cannot be described. And sadly it cannot be bottled. But through the rigorous workout, we focus on our breath only. The present moment is the only one that matters. What are you doing? Are you here. Take 5 minutes, close your eyes and breathe; notice your thoughts, but let them pass. Concentrate on your breath only. Connect with the One inside of you. Nirvana is just deep breath away.

move forward

I met some really special people today; brothers with handicaps, working together. The ride home I kept thinking how some things seem bigger than they are.
Love endlessly and live effortlessly.
insulate from stress
Posted: January 27, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: Friday, goals vs priorities, Love, perseverance Leave a commentthere are healthy ways and not so healthy ways to insulate yourself from outside pressures, fear and stress. exercise, drugs, alcohol. permanent damage can be done for short term gains, be careful. i cannot promise everything will be ok soon. but it will in the end. what are you priorities?

Posted: January 23, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: perseverance, poem, pride Leave a commentwhen you lose faith
when you lose patience
when you lose all hope
there is your salvation
when you see the light
when you continue to fight
when you feel nothing can stop you
don’t forget the hard times
pride fell greater men and women
heaven inside
Posted: January 20, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: death, nightmares and dreamscapes Leave a commentI truly believe Heaven and Hell are inside us. It is not a destination outward, but inward. And when I dream, I am able to spend time with loved ones and friends that I have lost. My Grandfather was there last night, and I got to speak with him again; to tell him I love him and he will always be with me.
Look inside yourself. It is not easy to lose someone, and it will never get easier. But they are not forgotten, and they don’t forget you. We will never fully understand our minds in our lifetimes, but what I say is true. Look inside yourself for the path to your heaven. And get some sleep.
writing
Posted: January 19, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: anxiety, complete honesty, no expectations Leave a commentwhen i write i bring the truth of my situation out. it is a great therapy for me. however, i still need help and support outside of myself. i am blessed to have a supportive wife and family, plus many, many friends on my side. as i write i already feel bad about questioning my situation, but sometimes failure is unavoidable. my work is not doing what it is supposed to right now. whether it’s out of my control or not, something needs to break.
all i can do is work hard and smart. that is a tough pill to swallow, but it’s time to put my money where my mouth is; put out love and expect nothing in return.
