On Successfully Traversing the Gaps Between Realities




Consider, then:
being,
being you
being you in the vast chiaroscuro
that is
your reality. Created
by you,
for you.


Imagine, now:
the trauma
the carnage
the devastation
that,
time and again,
slams
all of us
to a stunningly
different
place.


Remember, fondly:
the serendipity
by which you live,
waltzing
through life-changing
events,
creating,
participating
in the wonder.
,

Consider: when
acceptance
becomes the vehicle
of change,
what
will
reality
bring?

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
