2015
Since we were considering plans, concerning giving generously, receiving graciously
I just had a thought about my inability to follow through with
Giving you part three of the toy catalogue plan until readiness is mine
In truth, my inability to follow through, as of yet, suggests why
Plans, though developed with care, prove vulnerable to falling apart if
Patience grows short when readiness to participate has yet to ripen
As you can see, the success of any plan depends upon factoring in
Patience with the unforeseen, concerning readiness, all around
If you lose patience with me before my present state of mind feels ready for change
Human nature will heighten my resistance due to my feeling pushed
And thus does the nature of power struggles force loving relationships to fail
On the other hand, if intuition suggests that
Part three of this plan may create as much magic for you as
Has been true for me, you may choose to stick around until
Part three pops, freely, out of my mind
And if you said:
Annie, patience, over the long haul, proves far from easy
I'd reply: Yes, I know, but even so ...
Patience proves worthwhile when the ultimate goal provides
A connective sense of happiness and peace of mind on both sides
As change is the only constant in life, that insight highlights this fact:
The continued good health of every loving relationship depends upon
Attention to mind expansion, leading to personal growth
So, as always, the choice is up to you:
Grow impatient with the precious present or
Relax into the moment, believing, as I do, that
With positive focus and patience intact, the best is yet to come😊
As for making the most of the precious present ...
I'd hoped (to no avail) to feel ready to pen part three of
My family's heaven sent catalogue plan upon awakening, today
Why to no avail?
The sun was shining too bright, blinding me from unlocking my memory bank
Not the sun in the sky but rather the sunny state of my heart, which
Inspires my mind to relax and enjoy the ride when
My spirit soars so high that my feet can't touch the ground
Generally, this state of euphoria is mine whenever
My mind delights in feeling free to embrace everyone I love
And as long as my mind remains open to embracing the mystery of love
Here's the best reality, of all:
Coached by intuition and guided by my well practiced Line of Control
My think tank, which has grown practiced at
Seeking, finding, expanding and absorbing slices of wisdom
Offers me countless opportunities to live every moment of life to
The fullest, free of undeserved guilt, for this reason:
Pure joy and guilt cannot walk hand in hand
*Each time insight into deeper truth offers me
Another slice of wisdom to chew on and absorb
My sense of clarity deepens, concerning the importance of
Loving intuitively, freely and naturally—with common sense intact—
You see, we don't choose to love or not ...
In truth, love pours forth freely from the depths of each soul
And that last slice of wisdom dwarfs every other insight shared in my blog
Thus far ...
Each time insight into deeper truth guides my think tank to
Create a brand new, positively focused plan of action, based in common sense
I feel empowered to do whatever it takes to assure peace of mind, all around
Actually, I figure it this way:
As long as my think tank remembers to focus upon
The ultimate goal of community welfare
(And the community includes me)
My heart will have no reason to suffer regret when
I look back over my life, for this reason:
I choose to live each day in such a mindful way as to ensure that
Only the Grim Reaper has the power to separate me from
The presence of anyone I love—forever
BTW—I had to tighten the reins on Corny—
Most especially over these past couple of days of pure joy
Why? Well, while indulging her besotted state of mind
She's been outdoing herself, and
Even I can't believe the eye-rolling stuff that's been flying out of my mouth!😊
No more writing time, today
Katy's in town, and this morning
She and her boys are coming over before
They drive back to the coast
Needless to say, I can't wait to rejoice in their presence
Barry, who received an offer on his house that he couldn't refuse
Moved into a rental, yesterday
He figures that by planning ahead he's readied his bank account to
Offer a substantial down payment as soon as he and Marie find
A house in the neighborhood of their dreams
David's next episode is filming
Will is golfing with his buds, and later today
Celina, Steven and Ravi are coming for dinner ...
Just received word that two sets of friends
One who is freezing in the Midwest and the other who
Is soaking wet in Seattle are planning to accept
Our open invitation (at separate times) to warm up in our five star guest room
Within the next few weeks
Tomorrow, we're looking forward to taking care of Ravi for hours!
Each time Marie and Steven thank us, I laugh
Next weekend is the baby shower several of my friends are throwing to
Welcome Ravi into all of our hearts ... Sooo
As you can imagine, just thinking of so many joyful reasons to sparkle
Energizes my spirit until my whole body wiggles with childlike excitement
And none of those realities, which offer pure pleasure, would be possible without
The execution of patience and careful planning on each person's part
See what I mean about feeling too stimulated with delight to
Write about anything other than the precious present, which
Proves fleeting, because from my vantage point
You can believe me when I say that life goes by in the blink of an eye
And as tragic circumstances are known to whisk joy away as quickly as
Proved true for thousands when terrorist extremists destroyed
Human life in New York's twin towers—likewise in Paris, this week
I humbly request your patience with my need to express how
Magical life can feel when love and positivity
Appreciated fully, freely, naturally and intuitively offer a natural high
If more of us were drunk on love instead of the struggle for power—
What a wonderful world this would be ...
77 nations and counting—
Your friend,
Annie
