It is said that the earth owns two good days, one visible and one invisible.
One the body senses, and one the spirit visualizes.
One the reasoning identifies and integrates, and one the spirit desires and absorbs.
And on the day one can recognize their power to overlap these two, they will own the earth.
One the body senses, and one the spirit visualizes.
One the reasoning identifies and integrates, and one the spirit desires and absorbs.
And on the day one can recognize their power to overlap these two, they will own the earth.

1952 - to present and onward. I have walked many roads during my time here. Some smooth, and some not. I have met many good people, and some I chosen not to remember. Though I have yet to find the true meaning of life, I have accomplished most of the goals I set. I compare how I live with that of a box of CrackerJacks. i really never know what i will find inside the box until I actually open it. Actually, I really do not plan too far ahead. That concept is scary. The anticipation of not knowing what life brings is also something that can be scary, but that which does not kill, makes you stronger.
 | There are days when all hell breaks loose and find myself wondring how I will ever get through the day…but I do. Other days, everything I touch turns to gold, everything falls into place with little effort, and it is a glorious day. That is how life is. Never knowing what is coming down the freeway of living until it hits you. The quote I have have been use in association with my website is: “Go far, take chances, live passionately.” I have had people ask me what I mean. I will try to answer this. Go far: Do not stop living. Find and explore all the aspects of life that life has to offer. Experiment, explore, dream, and run like there is no tomorrow. Take chances: Do not be afraid of change. Relish the variety that you can have in life simply by doing. Do not sit on the porch and watch the big dogs run by. Join them and feel the wind in your face. Live passionately: Enjoy and savor the miracles of life. Create and utilize the sights, sounds and smells that is part of the majesty and wonder of nature. Encompass and cling to the free gifts of life, such as family, friends, and the connection you have to all. And live like you have no tomorrow. For my other life, I work with at risk youth as a counselor, mentor and role model. I have been doing this work for 12 years now and being in the company of these teenagers has been a blessing in many ways. I see the world more brightly, and come to realize that everything happens for a reason. I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, one of the most spiritual places in the west. Few people, and much wildlife. A simple, quiet place to be. For me, growing older is not an option, but growing up is. When you can keep your spirit young, then life is worth living. One can still look forward to creating goals and adventures. Life can be filled with new opportunities. I am at peace with the idea that acceptance has replace guilt, that quietness has replaced the turbulence's of life, and simplicity has replaced complexity. You do not have a choice of slowing time, but you do have a choice on how you will spend it. My 2 Rules of Life Find what is most important to you and eliminate the rest. Look beyond your senses and remember to never underestimate your dreams. |
