As the new millennium is dawning and as my mortal soul is pondering, I reflect upon this question "what have I learned thus far" and this is my heartfelt response...if I had the chance to live my life over, I would 'explore more' and leave a legacy of indelible lessons of LIFE rather than laments of never having pursued my passions. I would not sweat the small stuff! I would giggle more and surround myself with those who love laughter. I know of very few things that I would take seriously, ESPECIALLY MYSELF! I would LOVE abundantly, dispute less...for the love that you make is the love that you take. I would try to understand more...rather than strive to be understood. But, I would follow this commandment "Thou shalt not do anything to hurt anyone, including thyself." I am the result of the collective energy that has vibrated throughout my life, I know that I am who I am because of all who have touched my life...in devotion as well as in abandonment. Especially pain...I know it well as it is my GREATEST teacher, but I have also learned that as you look back upon your life you will find that the moments when you have 'truly lived' are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of LOVE. Because of these valuable lessons, I have more insight and more love to share. I now awake each dawn ... eager to receive the benefic blessings of the day and capture a fleeting glimpse of the setting sun on the evening horizon. In awe of these gifts, how could I not want to sing and dance, take walks on moonlit beaches and leave my footprints in the sand. I am blessed by the love that encircles me from all who believed in my flowing existence and who gave from the heart, replenishing mine and caught me as I fell. The greatest lesson I have learned is that great love and great achievements involve GREAT RISKS. I guess I still do trip once in awhile, but now as I pull myself up, I do it with a smile of gratitude for knowing that I had the freedom to seek, stumble and fall. As I continue upon my quest, I do know that I'm not there yet, but this is where I'm going. ...oh,and if I had the chance to do 'IT' all over again, from the beginning, I would know that...'TO LOVE IS ALL THERE IS TIME FOR'. Please share this message and whisper it into the wind along your journey.
