A somehow juicy, fiery, compassionate inquiry! Timely, by all means.
The following rendition of my thoughts is a by product of curiosity and observation of what’s been going on and on and on. The sequence of the flow may invoke a sense of irritation, with potential to lead you toward your own conclusion, hopefully, without delusion.
Times are such. as we watch some women and men in power spiraling down their mighty tower, toward a shady state of devolution. Hence, I come to question the progress of leaders and politicians. I recognize that more than ever, we need fresh new strength of lion- hearted, deeply rooted pillars, rising towards the light in many prominent positions!
The thought that often comes to mind: “If you can, shed your old skin. And if you have a chance, help educate the young! Give them space and life supporting tools, teach them necessary skills so they can recognize, realize, and live their lives aligned with higher truths. Be that pillar, help them rise above the current paradigm so they can build their own. The waves of change are here and running strong.”
Elemental force of nature can rise and spill the waters across the banks that lack a firm foundation.
What use is power if it cannot be contained? What happens when the flow of force is used in reckless ways?
Give the child a box of matches, Leave them in a wooden barn, stacked with bales of hay.
Tell me! Could you? Would you?
Will you watch the fire as it burns your heart away? You must think that I’m insane.
Alas, unless you’re misaligned with your cognition nothing of such sort could ever cross your mind.
What is it then that pulls us into never-ending power grabs and dopamine-fueled games?
The same applies across the human race – from a beggar to a queen.
Have you got the skills to wield your mighty sword, with crystal clear intention? Have you grown up and learned to manage your own mood swings, underlying thoughts, and spoken words?
How often do you sway when a situation doesn’t give you ‘your’ way? How do you behave? Is the urge of being right more powerful than being kind? Do you ever pause, contemplate, and count your blessings? Or, do you press on needing and possessing?
What does it mean to have the banks of your foundation sorted out before the force of nature is turned on? Will the power sweep you off your feet? Have you got the gravitas to recognize the tricks? Will you hold the fort, and show me that you have the necessary grit!?
A child can tell the rain from heil. The noble quest for the holy grail, will never go in vain.
There is a source of immense power you have access to, through yourself, at any given moment in time. Only if you dare to believe…
You need to find courage, extend your trust that you can, and you will.
How else could you have come this far in life? Every single day. Step by step, you knew that you could, since the moment you took your very first step.
Perhaps you were lucky and have been graced by the support from those precious ones on your way.
A nudge, a wink, a few encouraging words or a heartfelt hug. It might have been your teacher or a good friend, who extended his or her strong belief that you can. And you did! Such is the force of love, courage, true friendship, and trust— They move mountains inside out. when you dare to believe.
I know you can. You know you can. You did it before. Therefore, by the power of Grace, you will do it again!
While finishing this beautiful poem I was thinking about courage. Courage cannot be fabricated. When in the presence of a person who lives a life of integrity and authenticity I get a very special kind of sensation that moves me from within – a palpable, tangible experience that penetrates beyond mental precept. The air around such an individual is denser, for they radiate a special kind of charisma and stamina that sets them apart from the rest. They have achieved a very high level of integration and are pretty much consistently living a life of inner peace, and harmony. They are content with what life presents to them. Such is the power of the force of the Self. Being aware, living a fairly simple yet noble life, being of service, being grateful, forgiving, understanding, kind, wise, loose in opinions. Live and let live, with an open mind and a soft heart. It’s a new day, a new dawn and such is my insight of today. May it be blessed.
‘For me, synchronicity is all about perfect harmony, matching movements, sounds that are totally in tune, aligned frequencies, umami tastes, moments when your heart is open, overflowing with love, joy, and trust. Things happen, I meet people I was supposed to meet, I end up in places I was meant to be – timing is impeccable.
Synchronicity is powerful, mesmerizing, it draws in, it attracts. For example, if we all started breathing following the same rhythm we would create a flow and become part of that same flow we created.
Just imagine watching 50 Irish dancers on the stage, tapping their feet at the same time, totally in tune. Or listening to a choir of 30 people singing a song, their voices joint, blended as one. How about the orchestra and all the instruments playing the same beautiful melody?
What about nature? Watching, listening to the river can be incredibly soothing. All the water is moving towards the same direction, singing the same song, each drop of water is absolutely aligned.
Have you ever watched a flock of birds flying in the sky – or a murmuration of starlings? Hundreds and hundreds of birds flying as one, every single bird perfectly aligned. What an incredible performance!
What about two or more people brainstorming, coming up with great ideas, their frequencies matching, bubbling, in sync with one another, in their thoughts, intentions, working together, being part of the same flow
Synchronicity is all around us – we just need to pause, pay attention, and recognize it.
Take a look at your wonderful body, the movement of your legs and arms as you walk, when you run. It wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t in sync, not in a million years.’
Synchronicity brought me synchronicity itself. How much more in sync could I get?
Working through the 20 PrivateWork prompts has revealed a number of insights. It was a much needed exercise of confirmation. Now that I’m in that flow I want to capture every drop of it. Squeeze it out, here, on a paper, so every time I need to recollect and realign myself, all I need to do is refer to this moment. Come back to these words – to the space that binds these synchronistically infused thoughts. The empty, silent space out of which the flow emerges and carries on. To me, living words are the most beautiful art & science of magic that gets captured in a very special way, but not really captured because it remains free – always.
The words I read carry the powerful fragrance that is strong enough to bring me back to this moment when I digress. We all digress from time to time and that’s ok. We all wobble in life. Life is a challenging affair – we are constantly dealing with thoughts, information, never ending stories upon stories, emotions, we continue storing gigabytes of memory.
As if nature, the most brilliant architect I have ever come across, has engineered this game that seems to have no end, unless you take charge, unless you awaken, become more aware and start working, tirelessly. Until you expand your pause between the stimulus and your response, not allowing to continue reacting – re+acting. Have you ever thought of this word – it’s genius. It holds the meaning of itself – continuously repeating the same old act. We all react – until we don’t.
Instead of reacting, all we need to do is learn to introduce the pause – we have to master the art of expanding the length of the mighty pause, so we can allow the clarity to arrive – we enter the flow and we gain the ability to respond.
Relationship with myself and others is about being in sync with each other. When you’re in sync with your self you can be in sync with anyone. Even when they are not. Therefore it is my responsibility – it starts with me. Responsibility – abilityto respond. Either I choose to bring harmony, peace of mind to this world or I choose not to. Hence, we all seek activities that help us realign with ourselves – and that’s a good, useful approach. For me it’s swimming, yoga, writing, meditation, dancing, being in nature, listening to particular music, horse riding, churning mugs on a potter’s wheel. For you it can be something else – find out what that is, because it’s more important than you think.
Synchronicity is a state of pure bliss – Ananda – no friction, no fear, no resistance, no control, no doubt. Responding while having trust, complete trust in the way you respond to the stimulus that came your way.
Skillfully, gracefully, with a smile, with an open heart. In sync, in tune, at one, in alignment, in the flow… back to oneness with life, back to the Self. Like a river, like gazillion droplets of water, all flowing towards the Ocean. Like a dancer becoming merging with music. Like your heartbeat, perfectly aligned with yourself, with the universe. Body, mind, and soul, completely in sync.
What an experience – what a beautiful life to be able to live like that. Now that’s what I call a life worth living.
In sync, in harmony, in tune with One Self, hence in sync with everything and everyone else.
