When things are meant to happen--they just do. We can't force or nudge them. They happen and then we choose how we will respond and react. That's where the real power lies. I've never known the freedom of that. I've been trapped in the cycle of duality. Good choice, bad choice--Your fault, my fault--Reward, punishment. This new dimension is a brand new vista from which to see the world--inside of me. I'm used to pointing fingers and discovering motives. But now I see that focusing on each branch, leaf, root--does nothing for the trees or forest. There is an entire ecosystem to explore. Winds to feel, and soil to dig into. The leaves will always be there. I'll definitely notice them--maybe even obsess a little. But I know they will inevitably change color, fall off and be replaced by newer buds. I can either lament the loss or revel in the beauty--however changeable.

Growing up, in, and all around is intense and exciting. Some days its all a blur and then the highs can seem heaven bound. Even the low points have a way of making my pupils dilate. It's called living. and its what we do after we stop playing our own tragic melody. I am a lover and a learner. I learn lessons in love everyday of my life. I couldn't be more thankful for such an extraordinary journey. I'm amazed at my fortune. My riches continue to pay huge dividends. And as long as I remember to pay it forward, I will continue to be a wealthy king in this kingdom of possibility.

There is no divine intervention. Divine is the natural state of affairs. There is no place where God is not. I am. God is. And I finally feel and know this all on my own. When I really listen, I can feel the world moving. And when I close my eyes and allow myself to stand in that-- I realize that I'm the one moving. I'm swaying, singing, feeling, and loving. Me.
