Sit Down And Shut Up

I love you. There, I said it. You don’t know how crazy it is. Sounds straight forward enough. People say it to each other everyday. And mean it, too. Trouble is we’re not in 3D here. I have.. I mean.. I can and have been communicating with you over there. The other side. The part of you that’s not physical.  The part of you that lives in your heart not your head. Not yet. And I love you like mad. It’s the most expansive feeling I’ve every had. It’s glorious and wonderful. All consuming and magnificent. There really are no words that can make my feelings clear. There is no way to express it adequately. I want to see you and be with you in 3D. I know it’s coming but, it’s so hard to wait. I just want to race up to you throw my arms around you and say “I love you.” I know I’d totally freak you out. So, I wait. I wait for that universe planned accidental meeting. The one where I don’t tell you that some how, psychically, I’ve managed to connect to your non physical parts and have fallen in love. Madly in love. In fact, I tell NO ONE.

So, in the safety of cyberspace I share how I feel. This,  something that I can share with no one. This most amazing of feelings doesn’t even get shared with the one I feel so strongly for. I wait as patiently as I possibly can for us to find each other as only the Universe intends. The timing won’t be ours. Not consciously. So, until that occasion comes. I’ll continue to love you madly from the other side.

Hours, days, weeks, months, years.

None of it matters.

The Universe doesn’t recognize time.

It’s a human thing. Trapped with it.

Until death do they part.

Sometimes the human condition seems more than I can bear.

Wanting and waiting, such a tortured pair.

Such an unlucky couple.

How can they stand each other. They’re trapped together.

Until death do they part.

A slow dance with no compassion. No love.

Just tortured wanting and waiting

For the sweet kiss of surrender, where they part ways

And life begins anew.

Just about everybody loves a stroll along the shore or a walk in the park. Being closer to nature is something that helps many people feel more at peace. Taking yourself out of your busy schedule and going for a walk is one of the best things you can do for yourself. One of the reasons nature feels so natural is that it’s at peace with itself. The trees, the animals, from the ants to the bears, have a certain inner peace that people seem to have lost along the way. Taking a walk in the woods can help restore some of that lost peace.

If you live in the suburbs or the country just sitting in your backyard can bring you closer to nature. Take off the headset, turn off the ipod, mp3 or whatever and just listen to the sounds around you. Birds, breezes through the trees, dogs barking, distant cars, it’s all part of what’s out there. When you drown out your thoughts with music, and chit chat, you’re drowning out your inner voice.

You are a naturally intuitive person. We all are. So many of us don’t take the time to listen to ourselves. By spending time with nature and yourself you may begin to hear that little voice guide you. There isn’t a person out there who can’t find this part of them self. Some of us have spent a great deal of time and effort drowning out our true consciousness. Our true consciousness is that part of us that knows instinctively what makes us happy. Unless you are deathly allergic to plant matter, nature is a place you can begin to reconnect with your true self.

On your walk notice all of the signs of life around you. The trees, birds, flowers, mosses, grass and any animals you may come across are all gifts. Enjoy them. Appreciate them. And if it feels right to you give thanks for them.  Remind yourself that in the great scheme of things we are all interrelated. Take deep, long breaths. You’re not in a hurry. It’s not a fitness walk it’s a mental health walk. The kind where you get to stop and smell the roses. Deep breaths in and out, slowly, and a gentle nudging out of the way of any stressful thoughts. Do this for 15 minutes or so and then pickup the pace if you have too. Just familiarizing yourself with a slower less mentally crowded pace will help calm you.

I live in a small  coastal town on the East Coast. I get the best of both worlds; the shore and the woods. There is a 30 minute walk behind my house that winds it’s way through the woods out of sight of all but a couple houses. There are bunnies, coyotes, snakes, chipmunks  in the woods and ducks across the street. I make this walk everyday, weather and time permitting. It’s not my daily fitness walk. It’s my mental health walk. It’s something we all need to help reconnect to our source.

Hi,

Ever wonder why some folks are so damn happy and others are so damn miserable?

I truly believe we all came to planet Earth with the intention of being happy with the lives we create for ourselves. However, do to circumstances in our lives, that we don’t believe we have control over, most of us are not where we would like to be right now. I also, truly believe that our lives are what we make them. We choose to be where ever we are right now. We choose to be rich, poor, hungry, full, sick and well. We almost exclusively choose these things unconsciously. There are no coincidences, no luck, good or bad. These are the words we’ve chosen to explain what we can’t explain. Giving it a name makes it easier to accept, that’s all. So, if I’m right, and I know I am, we can all be happy satisfied humans.

Learning or relearning how to consciously choose a happy, satisfying life is what this website is primarily about. Through out the site there will be posted articles and links that show you different ways to expand your view of yourself and of the universe in a much more positive light.

The very first thing everyone of us should do is sit down and shut up. What I mean by that is relax and be quiet with yourself. Listen to the voice in your head. It’s there and it’s often very quiet. If we’d all just sit down and shut up we might hear it. The longer and more often we listen the more clear our inner voice becomes. It will lead you to your happy place. I guarantee it.

Best wishes on your quest,

Pam
