Please glance up at the name of my blog before offering these horoscopic musings serious reconsideration:
When intuition tells you something different from what the rest of the world seems to be saying, whom do you trust? (Here's how intuition differs from anxiety: With intuition comes an insightful sense of clarity that inspires creativity to rebalance a plan in such a positively focused way as to calm anxiety, releasing peace of mind from captivity once personal needs have been reconsidered, all around.)
You may ask opinions of those you admire though you are well aware that they do not know your inner world a millionth as well as you do. Trust yourself.
Just because something is difficult to understand and describe doesn't make it any less real ...
Brainstorm till the inexplicable makes sense to you..
A past encounter sets off a chain of events. When life offers mystery, you are just the person to solve it and choose the fork in the road that frees you to kick up your heels with joy ...
(Repetition is not redundant when you realize that retention of insight, concerning the enhancement of personal joy and inner peace, is a viable goal ...)
Flew home from a family wedding in
Miwaukee, yesterday, suggesting why
My writing time between Thursday and today
Was limited, as most of my waking hours were
Spent embracing cousins from around
The country, who'd also chosen to celebrate
This joyous occasion with
Bride and groom and their extended families ...
Throughout all of the festivities, many toasts were
Made to good health for two reasons:
One, it's hard to believe
How quickly we've reached this age, and
One dearly loved cousin, whose
Dancing feet remained grounded
Is so unwell as to have been selected to
Participate in a clinical trial at Mayo, and
When her blue eyes welled with tears as
We held each other close while
Saying 'so long', so did mine ...
Tonight's dinner date with dear friends and
Tomorrow's play date with Ravi are sure to lift
The heaviness that hit my spirit like
A lead weight while hugging my cousin close ...
You see, her tears and then mine expressed
Heartfelt emotion, flowing
Back and forth, running too deep for words ...
During that hug, we communicated more of what
Each of us felt than either had been able to
Convey over this past year when
The harsh truth of her illness had
Silenced our voices each time we'd phoned
As you can see, creating balance in all things
Proves more important than ever as
We and our loved ones enter this last stage of life ...
And with that deeper truth in
The forefront of our minds
There's no time like the present to reconnect with
Every heart that remains open to welcoming our love ...
As none know what tomorrow may bring ...
I plan to embrace an attitude of generosity that
Directs my mind to offer my spirit the freedom to
Revel in every possible joy that love has to offer ...
