Crossroads

"Meditation is old and honorable, so why should I not sit, every morning of my life, on the hillside, looking into the shining world? Because, properly attended to, delight, as well as havoc, is suggestion. Can one be passionate about the just, the ideal, the sublime, and the holy, and yet commit to no labor in it's cause? I don't think so.

All summations have a beginning, all effect has a story, all kindness begins with the sown seed. Thought buds toward radiance. The gospel of light is the crossroads of - indolence, or action.

Be ignited, or be gone?" - Mary Oliver

I have had dedicated coaches and counseling throughout my life; by choice as I am in the profession. (I believe in eating your own cookin') One day as I went on reviewing my week and venting to my coach, he said, "Are you going to do anything about it or do you just want to whine about it? And then came the big ah-ha when he continued to say, "because if you choose not to do anything about it, then you lose your right to whine along with it." It has always stuck with me.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
