Head Over Heels Besotted With...

I WAS up this morning at 4:00 a.m. with a pleasant smile just listening to silence. Silence? Yes, that point in freedom when noise is absent. If there’s any LOVE I also cherish, it’s that I am head over heels besotted with mornings. That special time of the day that I can just be me to feel; to stretch from a rough yesterday; and to take in air in the freshness of the new day knowing I am still alive to feel affection for life.

When I was still a , my mother would always scold me vigorously and lengthily for waking up before everybody else in the house. Was I a loner during my early childhood? Hahaha! I remember I’d always run to the living room to simply lie on the sofa, happy and embracing the early morning wonder. Every single thing smells so good in the morning! Our little garden forever gives the impression of being reborn; the grasses and flowers are wet with dew; and the birds ‒ they’re the ones that always start the morning spirit flying in the air, and I will seize it, hold it so precious in my hand to bring close to my heart.

This morning, I was that again… holding the same wonderful spirit close to my heart to spring from a previous day that had gone awful in one fell swoop, completely out of nowhere, and I still don’t understand why. Oh, well… I am just glad yesterday was over. When it’s done, it’s done. There’s no going back to it, especially if its memories are not those I’d eagerly like to hang onto.

Hey!

Another beautiful moment of the day is at sundown. It’s the time to really enjoy lovely walks in nature. Where I am right now, I’m blessed to have mountains and seas that add strength, worth, beauty and other desirable qualities to the setting sun. The colors are so simple, so amazing, and so full of promises of another beautiful morning, another beautiful day.

It’s all there. If we rest our interminable active brain for a bit, close our eyes, open our senses, welcome in the surprise and grace, then we’ll get them all. We’ll be lifted in the air, and we can feel the energy start streaming through our body and mind again. It’s awesome, if we only know how not to be busy all the time to feel.

Oh, I am swimming in life! I am my life. I look at my wrist, stare at the fine skin rhythmically moving with my pulse, and it’s sweet. It’s me. I am amazing, wonderful, and the most beautiful creation because I am here. I am life. I am part of this wonderful world, that great silence that I hugged this morning, this wonderful universe that is breathing in my soul.

Life, energy, silence, and love -- they're wonderful, and I feel so lucky. I feel so incredible, blessed, and full of love and gratitude that I am sitting here, writing these words, breathing the same air as so many other beautiful souls out here, living in the same world, thinking, feeling, sharing, vibrating, dreaming, giving, loving, and being.

We are so lucky to be here despite a tough yesterday. We are so lucky!

SEASHORES OF ETERNITY. 1/7/84

We all walk upon the seashores. Seashores of an eternity in space and in time.

Gone are the days and those nights divine. Days and nights like
icy black pools.

Whole generations of lives, lit only by the fables of fools.

Now, together hand in hand, we all peer amid new more limpid pools.

On together we all can frolic. On, to new worlds of cool green
depths.

Depths of knowledge, growth and spirit. Depths, and waves of lives renewed.

Clouds that scud across oceans deep. Seas of thought, desire and
love.

Clouds and oceans that birth renewed, a whole series of things
that are me and you.

Take your time and re-examine anew, that sand and that flotsam
beneath your feet.

Sand and seaweed, and waves that wash.

Upon lands of your soul, your self and your mind.

For, those sands are the sands of YOUR time and YOUR tide.

Tides that are the seas of your life, your blood and your wine.

For together we all walk upon the seashores of an infinity in
space and time.

Lost are the days of your pasts and mine. Pasts that were full
and sweet in their time.

And, lost yet to futures ahead. Futures you still can find in the
seas of your mind, and, in your dreams in bed.

We all walk upon the seashores of an eternity. An eternity in
space and time.

Seashores of sand and of salt spray divine. The seashores of
love, life, mind, and time.

Seashores of your dreams, your loves and mine. Where waves and worlds, wash out into time.

An infinity beyond your life and mine. Awash, upon the seashores of eternity.

As we frolic, amid galaxies of time, space, and tide.

Magpie, you take the mornings and I own the night! Hey, don't get me wrong, I love mornings and I never have trouble waking up on time. But I'm just nocturnal by nature and by choice. I feel like I own the world when everybody else is fast asleep... I feel like I own MY world, at least!.. without anybody or anything else demanding my time and attention. I'm free to dream, free to cry, free to love... free to be myself!

No worries there, Tiggiedooh... as long as I get to borrow some of the nights too. Epppp! What you said is true too about NIGHT. Did you go out of your house last night? You should have seen the last quarter moon. It was so wonderful! There was a thin ring of clouds around it, and it was so magical. My spooky gang of 8 just had a good time with it.

After dinner, I always spend a little bit of time sitting in our backyard looking up at the night sky. It's my way of winding down and I get some sense of comfort in the quietness of the evening.

Yesterday, I looked at the moon with my 7-month-old nephew in my arms, and I made a silent prayer for my brother to wake up and realize that his son needs a father.

Oh, Tiggiedooh email me the name of your brother so I can ask my prayer partners to pray for him.
