I apologize to any who actually check to see if there is something new posted here only to find that that isn't the case. Life has been a whirlwind of sorts lately and I have discovered that painting is a great outlet for me. If nothing else, it is teaching me invaluable lessons such as patience, focus, and the importance of setting aside time for it and for me, things I usually struggle with. As I sit here and wait for one of many canvases to dry, I decided that now was as good a time as any time put down some of the thoughts that seem to be floating around inside my head. For starters, there are mornings when I wake up with a song running through my head. That song seems to have a way of defining how my day is going to go. I do not know if this is a conscious action or not, but it just seems to be the case. Sometimes the songs tell me that I should not worry so much and just enjoy the day, such as
when I woke to "Every Little Thing, Is Gonna Be Alright". Sometimes they
tell me that my ability to stay positive is going to be challenged,
like when "Break My Stride" was singing itself inside my head. Today, the song is "After The Rain" by Nelson. Right away I start asking myself "what is this telling me"? It tells me that today is going to be a day filled with opportunities to let go of some of the things from the past that have been wearing on me. It is a chance to move forward in some aspect of my life that I have been subconsciously holding on to. I am not sure what it is that I will be letting go of, but I do know that when I awake to these singing telegrams of sorts, their messages never seem to lead me astray. When I look back upon my day as I fall asleep tonight, I will discover with an almost childlike wonder, the situation that caused me to be able to connect with that particular song's message. Even though this happens to me fairly often, it never stops amazing me at how it all seems to just...fit. I wonder how many people out there have similar things happen to them? I wonder if it happens to everyone but that only certain people have decided to tune into it? Whatever the case may be, I hope that those who are reading this blog today take note of my experiences and decide to tune into what their own minds may be trying to tell them about their lives. It is truly an awakening of sorts and can be such a beneficial and cathartic tool when we decide to use it.
Namaste everyone.
