Wind in the trees,
Thunder,
Flowing water,
Falling leaves,
Rain,
Animal voices,
Pine needles crunching under foot,
The song of the first bird, just before
dawn…

We live our lives amid a teeming soul-
dance of natural sounds…..

In silence we may feel our heart beat,
hear our mantra, taste the subtle nuance
of a tomato, or catch a scent of lilac ’round
the next corner- while walking your peace…..

Then, we have the articulately measured,
imagined sounds of art- the multi-faceted
musics, pen to paper, Adagio in the throes
of a dancer on-toe, an artist’s knife-deftly
moving paint on canvas…

There is a ‘fullness’ in the polyphony of sound,
within Silence….

However, not caring who, when or why your window was smashed may
just lead to having it smashed again once it has been repaired.

If we all lived in a vacuum, free of evil doers and mischief makers, I think
the on and up theory would be awesome. Unfortunately, we live in a
world plagued with bad intentions, which no amount of mediation can make
go away. Fortunately though, we do have men and women in blue uniforms
who make it their business to learn the who, when and why of miscreants.
I wonder if they get to move on and up as a result of their NEED to know?

No, I’m not being a smarty pants (couldn’t think of a better non-profane term),
I just had to pose the statements in that fashion so that the argument would
make more sense.

I have a chapter in my life that has sabotaged me for 3 years.
The incidents improved my life immensely but scared me so much it
occupies 30% of my thoughts. Deepak spoke in Edmonton tonight and
until this post I didn’t know what I was being told. As I left for the show, my van
window had been smashed in either last night or today. I nearly didn’t go
to the show. I nearly didn’t focus while at the show. When did that window get
smashed ? Why How much will it cost ? etc etc……..
I came home and couldn’t really process Deepak because I had been putting off
the broken window stress all evening.
AND THEN IT HIT ME. I will never know who smashed the window or when. I do know
why though – LETTING GO OF THE NEED TO KNOW was my lesson of the day.
Now I can move on and up 🙂

I enjoyed every word…

Listen to it, till the end because it covers all problems that have only
one solution, given in the end 🙂

But what is the territory?

One must be natural and easy

Feel as one who looks

Then

think as one who walks

with Fullness

Awareness

One’s spontaneity

will

Be intuitive

Thank you John for your kind reminder.

Yes it is true to have some caution too.

The thing is I do not have much money, enough to meet my basic needs and
I found out in the past and up till now that it does not take much money to fulfill
ones needs.

I make labyrinths in nature that doesn’t cost a penny and find fulfillment in this.

All my life I have received what I needed by just listening to myself and follow
myself.

Yeah I am not the average girl, I have always been a loner and yet I can
communicate and commune with people because I listen, I really listen to
what they have to say.

And in this way I am able to build spontaneous relationships.

But mostly with women, I do agree.

I appreciate your talent with the computer, those labyrinths are beautiful.

And as much as I may enjoy the thought that everyone’s spontaneous actions
might be toward love, laughter and caring, I know that, unfortunately,
spontaneity does not always foster such kind actions and emotions.

Spontaneity is what encourages us to wave our middle finger toward the guy
who cuts us off in traffic. Spontaneity is what makes us shout explitives
when we stub our toe on our bed post. Spontaneity is the domain of our
base animalistic reactions. Self control is what makes us take a deep
breath and realize that the guy must be in a bigger hurry than we are, so we slow
down, and give the guy a little more room, in case ‘instant Karma’ should
come his way and a meteorite should replace his car with a smoking crater. 🙂

I wish I, and the rest of the people in the world were as beneficient as you
and that we could trust our hearts to always act out of love, laughter and
caring. But, we are a flawed lot, us human beings. And until we all reach
a level of inner peace that allows us to exude peace, love and happiness
every minute of every day, I would caution preaching spontaneity, lest the bum
in the alley you walk past tomorrow feel the spontaneous need to help himself
to your wallet.

This is the gift I received from God in gratitude 🙂

The God who created me gave me one purpose in my life and that is:

Spontaneity, living from my heart.

This is the lesson I learnt in life. And if I live from my heart, my spontaneous actions in every moment in life arise by themselves and are always to the benefit of the other and myself.

I give what I take, I take what I give.

Spontaneous love. laughter and caring.

Wish you this from the bottom of my heart!

No hiding and seeking needed for that 🙂

🙂 I just hated to see all my previous thinking and typing go to waste 🙂

To accept “whatever will be will be” is to deny yourself man’s most important gift – Free Will. We have the choice to accept the bits of pain and/or happiness life throws our way exactly as they are or we can take those pieces and put together the puzzle. Putting together the puzzle, so that we may understand the ‘bigger picture’ of life can be frustrating, draining, and extremely difficult. But, the satisfaction of knowing that your life has had purpose, other than to just experience it, is much more fulfilling than to simply throw your hands in the air and say, “Whatever will be will be.”

Life is an adventure, as Mieke said, and when you come to a mountain, you may either stand at the base of it for the rest of your life and assume that your purpose was to merely appreciate how huge the mountain is… OR… you tighten your shoelaces, climb it a step at a time, take the cuts and bruises from the many times you will fall down, and EVENTUALLY, you will get to the top… and believe me, the view is much better up there.

But, back to the original question… Ma’am, your challenge on the mountain, at this moment, is finding a way to reevaluate the memory of someone who, at one time, made you happy. Whether he decided not to call you because he was afraid of commitment or if he was abducted by aliens is irrelevant. The fact is, you are not in contact with him, and despite your greatest efforts, you have not been able to reestablish that contact. Now, instead of focusing on the loss of your idealized future with this man, you must cherish the reality that you had a very pleasant time with him, while it lasted, and now you are a better person for it. Then, take the next step on your journey up your mountain. You’ll get to the top. And, if you look around, you’ll notice from the footprints ahead of you that you aren’t the only person who has had to climb it, just don’t give up. There are lots of us at the top cheering for you. 🙂

You can blossom in any stage of your life 🙂

Doesn’t that apply to almost everything in our lives?

Living in uncertainty. It is the most difficult art of life, yet the most fulfilling one
because when you really think of it, it means adventure in your life.

And adventure in your life means that life is exciting, every moment of it.
Not knowing what will be is the best way to live in the moment.

Doris Day in my days already had a song about this:

Que sera sera, whatever will be will be
