From the Heart
If only it were our inner beings that interacted with the world around us, the very core of us, that what is the world and all things. If we communicate openly from the heart, we are more able to find and touch other hearts.

Everything will one day go, nothing is forever. However maddening this thought might be, our bodies will age, our looks will diminish and our hair will thin and maybe fall out. Our brains will slow down and our minds fail us at some point. Relationships will end and people we love will die. Friendships finish and new ones begin, people will continue to come in and out of our lives.
The house and car will age, the job finish, paintings and photographs will fade and those wonderful things we have around us will one day be junk. Savings rise and fall continuously, stocks and shares will go up and down.
The earth as we know it will change. Shorelines will change shape, cliffs erode, air quality might reduce and stars will eventually run out of gas and die.
For everything there is a beginning and an end, nothing stays forever. It’s a sobering thought isn’t it, that everything around us including the vehicle we travel in as our body will some day come to an end.
This makes it even more necessary for us to take care of our inner being, our spirit, soul, whatever you like to call it, because that I think this might be the only thing that will last, that will outlive all those things we think so precious. My inner being, yours too, is not concerned with wealth or collections, they are the presence inside of this vehicle, just waiting and watching for everything else to end.
Daily prompt – Maddening sort of fitted 😉
Believe in the impossible, see your dreams glistening from the highest branch of the tallest tree and reach up there to get them. The only thing that holds you back in life is that little voice telling you can’t get there.

Who is it that looks out from behind your eyes, who is it that observes the world without judgement?

When we live fully from the heart and allow the heart to steer the way we live in truth. Awareness comes when we let the things that are not necessary fall away.

I see a hand that’s withered,
frail and getting old.
Clinging onto memories,
some stories left untold.
The table that you sit on,
an ancestor for sure.
Down into the forest,
there’ll be many more.
Once you waved from branches,
now crumbling away.
A topic of the artists mind,
in his art you’ll stay.

As you have probably gathered from my earlier posts, I went for a walk following the rain today. The park was beautiful, all the flowers and shrubs looked like they had been washed down. Some a little worse for wear but I’m sure the sun will pull them round.

After the rain the sun comes out
and everything looks brighter.
After the storm we’ll take a rest,
we don’t need to be fighters.
The sun will brighten up our day,
things a little more possible.
Now we see the bridge is in sight,
and understand it’s crossable.
The winds are not so feisty now,
In fact I’d call them calm.
Now’s the time to take a walk,
please let me hold your arm.

It is usually only after each storm in our lives can we understand its purpose. As each rainfall batters the flowers, so it also nourishes the soil they grow from.
