“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore
So true. What holds us back in certain situations while in others we are fearless? Is it that we are comfortable. What if it’s because when life settles like the calmness of the sea, we don’t want cast out ripples which could drudge up sediment from the past. What if it’s being riddled with anxiety, of the unknown, and wondering if taking a risk would be better for us than where we are right now. What if there are more challenges and pain in crossing those waters?
For me, all these impediments have been strong.
Fortunately, without risk there is often no reward. Dreaming can keep your drive alive but it’s taking action, execution…which keeps your spirit alive.
Dare to say what if. The other side of everything waits for you.

In my reflection of past moments in my life, I can recall this has been the mission. To obtain it and have an abundance of it. “It” was the goal. Get to one finish line and create another. Why? That was what I thought was the plan.
With a new finish line, preparation and planning (of course) were needed. Only this was not where I was focused. It was motivated by another sort of fulfillment and this continues to be so.
A fulfillment which didn’t, doesn’t cross anything off a list, other than the want in my heart.
There are times when you have to listen to something other than the voices which speak to you from the outside.
When it comes to listening from the inside, it’s usually only one voice which matters. YOURS. MINE.
As I have progressed in my years, I have SEEn how this voice is harder to come by and never of more greater importance.
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It’s much harder to come by
I’m waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It’s as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Than my life…I can see beyond forever
Ev’rything we are will never die
Loving’s such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world..a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It’s much harder to come by
I’m waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It’s as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You’re my life…
I can see a new tomorrow
Ev’rything we are will never die
Loving’s such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our precious love
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It’s much harder to come by
I’m waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It’s as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It’s much harder to come by
I’m waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It’s as wide as a river and harder to cross
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It’s much harder to come by
I’m waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It’s as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

What do you love? What would existence be in absence of this love? Have you thought about it?
I have.
It’s a world unimaginable to me but one day it could be. And because of this moment of knowing, I want to nurture, encourage, and immerse into it fully. Losing myself in it’s measured composition. Each lyric resonating the current it sails through me.
Without the words, there is no song…without you, there is no me.
If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
‘Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don’t have it anymore.
There’s no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor(Ooh)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m makin’
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin’ out the door.
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it’ll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Sayin’ “There goes my little girl
Walkin’ with that troublesome guy”
But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand
Ooh, but little darlin’ watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make you mine
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it’ll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Oh, don’t just say (don’t just say) goodbye (goodbye),
Don’t just say (don’t just say) goodbye (goodbye)
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right
‘Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it’ll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

New month beginning inspirations coming on like a locomotive. Fast and with frenzy, thoughts rush in. Just how easy it could have been to have gone off the track? Be derailed forever.
How is it some have a clarity that others can not SEE? Why does it take some longer to find this level of clarity? Does everyone eventually find their own clarity, even if it’s literally at the end of everything?
Or are some lost forever in this battle of good vs.evil?
I’ll start with this, I know I don’t know the answers to these questions definitively. What I do know is that only when I wanted to change did things occur. Taking all my life’s reflections and putting them to work from within and working my way out. UGH. Slow, patient, and often painful steps out of the well I had fallen into.
But not all of us survive long enough to come to this realization.
I know I was fortunate. Very lucky or is it blessed?
Only when I wanted to change deeply enough did it happen. What helped in opening my eyes to the reality I had created? What brought me back?
My Wonderwall.
To say thank you for this is beyond words or actions. A gift of this significance can only be repaid and respected appropriately by living everyday with perseverance, passion, and gratitude.
The power it takes to propel someone to a higher level of understanding, acceptance, and clarity is a sign of “the force”. But to keep someone from being lost forever…to save them from themselves, is a power from the beyond.
