BACK IN THE SWING...



Back In The Swing...

Sometimes life will throw you a curve ball, a human juggerknott that cannot be undone. The totallity of the situation is so overwhelming that only in the aftermath can the enormity of the situation fe'tal be correctly understood. My mind is tripping, skipping, looking for a way out...

The sun won't shine, the rain won't stop. Coming up empty - alone again in a cold world, seems to be the norm... Still I must try. Try as I might nothing seems to change. Coming up empty-handed wondering if this is my last breath... Alone.

...And still somehow the will to go on never stops beating somewhere deep inside. We all feel it. Sometimes ignore it... But still it persists... Like a bullet shot in the dark we feel the urge, the desire to be something, to go on and make something out of nothing. The still small voice is still talking, whispering, callling out to us telling us to "look and live." Even in the darkest dark - the blackest black night, the power to live pushes us forward, like a beating heart, never sleeping - just keeping the rhythm - the rhythm of hope...

No matter how far you have fallen, no matter where you are - You have hope. You have the spark that ignites the fire of Love. Have faith in the knowledge that all things work themselves out in good times - and in bad. Just keep breathing. keep listening to your heart... beat. Know that you are not alone. I've been where you are... Never give up. Just trust in the ONE who knows how to mend the broken heart - the broken life.... All is not lost! Open your eyes and see that the sun is coming up... even in the middle of your darkest night... the moon shines with the light of the sun.

Trust the wisdom of the ages... You will come back better than ever. Like a tiger... Back in the swing!

The Tao of Silence...

"Men craving holiness use words-to create images of their gods,
and confuse faith with their pride in their own inventions.
The Taoist sage shuns words and trusts silence-
knowing full well the Tao is beyond the reach of concepts."

The Tao Te Ching
