Excellence

"To achieve excellence, you must care more than others think wise, risk more than others think safe, and dream more than others think practical”

Great quote and one I find to be quite inspiring

Letting it in

Letting it in... seems to present some problems in that there is no space to let anything in because we are so full up of it all. So I am thinking that there is a possibility to let it go, before you can let it in. Filled up with it all... all the stuff we hold on to. No letting go of any of it and if we do, its maybe a little something here and there. When the rhythm is off the tendency might be to just slooooow dooooown. Begin a withdrawing process...becoming tired and not wanting to participate.

I am thinking it is time to let it go. To begin, I believe that we might want to first agree in this starting off period with the premise; "there is something for me to let go of... what could that be?" Just look... don't feel compiled to have to come up with an answer....just look. I am thinking that there is stuff that we just made up and then forgetting that we were the ones who just made it up... so we have then subsequently ( probably pretty much unconsciously) constructed a made up thing we call truth. You know the truth . the what? The disconnect if you well, that stops us from forgiving beings. Forgiving others, but maybe more to the point forgiving ourselves. It is in the act of forgiving that you catch glimpses of loving. The essence of which is grace. Things we tell ourselves, in that never ending chatter, in our heads that consumes our lives.

When the Absurd is Screaming in Silence

When will the people of the United States of America wake up? When will there be a genuine feeling for doing the right thing, and doing; the right thing, is what we the people demand and then to have "that" take the leadership role in shaping a country that really could live up to the words that were put to paper, that we said we will abide by. Oh but that was before special interests bought the souls and minds of those in control and I use the word control purposely for there is not one ounce of leadership being exhibited in Halls of Congress, the Judicial Branch and the rather disappointing Executive Branch “Change… what change?”. They are too busy fixing deals, eliminating opposition, taking monies (millions) filibustering. Exhibiting outrageous opinions, as can be seen, on special venues set up by the special interests designed to confuse, disguise, and turn off those that might want to do the “right thing. Not just continuing to increase the coffers of the special interests in the tune of hundreds of billions annually off the backs of the poor and the middle class. Either it will change or simply, end for it has become unsustainable, for the only value that the special interests hold in us, little people, is that we consume and consume and consume. No, consume no value. It really is that simple. I think we need to get their attention what do you think we should do?
