The Hike

The Hike

I hiked to a peak called Thumb Butte
Yesterday... A view that was breathtaking... As we hiked I realized we were climbing closer to a spot I didn't think possible to reach and it was an amazing experience. I found myself overwhelmed with emotions at the view as we continued to climb.
Here in Arizona there's a sense of being closer to everything... Closer to the clouds, the stars, to people around and a closeness to God. It's the Arizona energy in the air... It's an amazing experience and an amazing feeling of freedom ...

Just in Awe!

Imagine Oneness

Imagine Oneness

Acceptence of oneness
All we should be
As a unified society

Imagine what oneness
Could look like
If we would all just see
The other person
Is no different than you and me

Embracing oneness
starts with the you in the me
What a world this would be!

Love, joy, peace all around
Our spirits to high
to reach the ground
A world with less usless noice
And a richer viberant sound

We could all hear what was finally being said
We would listen to each other instead of a deafness that comes
With a close minded head..

Arms of oneness
Could we ever see?
Accepting, embracing others
For who they would be...

The freedom of oneness
so it could be
Imagine wrapping your Arms
around oneness and see
How living in a world
Filled with people
like you and me...

Freedom to be
Freedom to see
Love all around
Embraced in the arms of Oneness
To be lived once and for all
To be set free...

Aw 7.14.12

Freedom

Freedom

As I was walking this morning in AZ several of the traffic signs caught my eye .... I've seen the same signs many times before but for some reason the were speaking to me...

The first one had an arrow pointing right saying "Only" and I wondered hmm what if life only had one way to live? As I came up the hill, the view was beautiful, then I noticed the Roundabout sign... Again I couldn't help but think about life and what if we kept going in circles our whole life ...as I looked over my shoulder another breathtaking sight of the mountains. Two more signs caught my eye, No Outlet and Stop!!!
Both stopped me in my tracks thinking OMG ... There is a message here...

At that moment a friend tex me and asked "what are you feeling" and all I could think with the beauty around me was FREEDOM!! I was brought to tears realizing the peace I feel on the road seeing this country first hand and the Freedom it gives me ...

I was in Love with the sights this morning of my surroundings and in total Awe of the message I was hearing and in Wonder of the Freedom I feel when I am on the road!!!

In Love Awe and Wonder....

Be A Light In Someones World Today...

Each One Reach One...

What can I do for you today?

If we all take a moment to reach out to someone daily this world would be filled with love continuously!

Take a moment today to smile at a stranger, hold a door for someone, say a friendly "hello", or even pay for a strangers coffee or meal ...

You will have blessed someone very special today and that person will be YOU!!!

Just in Awe....

Coffee Anyone?

Coffee Please...

I've never been much of a coffee drinker, some would agree I have enough of that Italian verbal energy without it! : )

For some reason lately I've needed a little caffeine, I like a "half cafe" a few times a week now...

It has me wondering why?
My age? My activity ? My age?
( oh I already said that!) ; )

So to all you devoted caffeine drinkers, I'm just wondering why you started and if you find yourself wanting more as time goes by?

Just wondering....

What Is Your Intention?

Intention....

That word came up today in a conversation with a friend...
The importance of your intention.

Even my dog Gracie understands the word intention... She was caught red handed about to toss the pillow off the chair ( when no one is home her intention is to push all the pillows on the floor) see the picture!

When something is happening or about to take place what is the intention? Intention is very important when it comes to people and situations....

Do you have the right intention?

What seems like a long time ago, another friend shared that same word ... Intention... I never did figure out what their intention was and I don't believe they ever did either ....

Ones intention should be clear...
To themselves along with all parties involved...

So next to you find yourself in a situation, make sure you know what your intention is and at the very least have a good intention!

In awe of wonder...

The Mesa

The Mesa

"A mesa (Spanish and Portuguese for "table") is the American English term for tableland, an elevated area of land with a flat top and sides that are usually steep cliffs. It takes its name from its characteristic table-top shape."wikipedia

When I am in Prescott I head for a wonderful Mesa... As I walked to the top I was moved yet again by the beauty that surrounded me... Brought to tears this was written

The Mesa
The emotions of freedom
Living, breathing what is
Being present to the beauty
all around,
Seeking the depth of now
Embracing every moment
Knowing the peace,
the joy is all yours.
Having the connection
to what is real
The Mesa
it's beauty
It's peace
It's tranquil surroundings
Lives in all of us ....

I couldn't help but wonder about the connection between mankind and the existence of a Mesa

A flat top, secure, high enough to see the beauty all around, it's sides, steep cliffs, unknown, caution needs to be taken if you get to close .... Stay on top, be in the center, see the beauty, live free from fear...

The wonder of it all
