A pretty awesome day: It begins in your heart
by Hazel Burke
| Jan. 25, 2008 |
Today was a pretty awesome day. Not perfect, but for a few moments I was transported and transcended. I got taken back to places I had forgotten about. Like the place where my cool friends are like Tolkien's wizards and elves -- we communicate without words and when they look at me I know that they know that I know what's happening, and then they nod their heads, "Yes, my friend. That is the Righteous Truth."

It is all OK, whether you live for an eon or a day, because it is always just one day -- each day.
And when you find or re-find your True Heart, when you remember your true desires again, you will also find true allies, of good and true heart to join you. That is the way to win... everything: It begins in your Heart.

I just did a few things today. I checked my database against the mail, getting ready for tax time. Then I proved a few theorems using mmj2, which works great. And I spent some time goofing, thinking about my latest inventions.
Then I watched a bit of TV and saw the band Incubus performing "Drive", which is a great song for these times. And I curled up in my down sleeping bag to get warm and meditate on things...
So many things to be Afraid of! And so little time... But I thought about the song and let it go:| |
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah |
And in those moments between dreaming and waking, and thinking and being, I transcended the moment and felt it in my heart: This is fine, it's all fine!!!
Drive, by Incubus| |
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Would you choose the water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive |

It is all "OK", friends. The "magic" is still alive, the Force is real. It lives in your heart and in the hearts of others all around you! And it is OK to rest by a stream and listen to a fair damsel play guitar and sing songs. It is all OK, whether you live for an eon or a day, because it is always just one day -- each day.
And when you find or re-find your True Heart, when you remember your true desires again, you will also find true allies, of good and true heart to join you. That is the way to win... everything: It begins in your Heart.

Unknown News is more fun and more informative with your participation, so please don't be shy. Consider yourself invited to speak your mind.
Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication.
When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.
We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.
You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>.
But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.
Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want.
If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread.
If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
