(219) not a lot to say today

Good morning.

The spinach is vibrant and nourishing, and the coffee has just kicked in. I'm listening to the soundtrack from Star Wars (A New Hope) and admiring the genius of John Williams.

I'm tired and hoping that I'll make more time for sleep.

Faith, sleep, exercise. When those pillars are in place, anything is possible.

Back soon. :)

(222#) Be In the World, But Not Of the World

Good morning.

Would that be the correct phrasing? "Be in the world, but not of it."

There are times I find it truly remarkable how blind I've been. Almost as if I were sleepwalking through the first half of my life. I'm not disrespectful of the trials and tribulations, joys and wonderful encounters that have been sprinkled upon the thread of my life, and yet there seems to be so much more substance to the nature of things lately. This is life, and it's definitely worth living.

And so this sunny Friday begins with the promise of blue skies and bright eyes. I will be mindful of my thoughts, for they create my universe and determine destiny. I will be in the world, but not of it. After all, aren't we actually infinite and unlimited energy, interconnected with everything and yet temporarily bound in these corporeal forms? What a wonderful opportunity to consciously bring our very best to one other. :)

I hope you're well. I've missed you.
Namaste,
Frank
