Description
Our week is once more at an end. All of our experiences from this week are now memories. We cannot live in our memories. We can only live in the NOW (no other when). Each day we co-create our lives anew by bringing our dreams into form... we are continuously creating new futures for us to experience because of the choices that we make each day. Our past is but a memory. Our future is a mystery waiting to unfold before us. It comes to us based upon our dreams, desires, and beliefs. For a long time I wondered about the phrase: 'we must die to the past to be born into the future.' Now what in the heck should that mean to us? What I have discovered is that we must release all of those old beliefs and thoughts that no longer serve us. We must let go of that old stuff that we created oh so long ago and hid in the recesses of our mind. For these thoughts... these old beliefs... are not the truth of who we are. Today we can allow ourselves to move beyond that old way of thinking... that old way of accepting an untruth of our being. Today we can give ourselves permission to release and let go of all that is no longer the truth of our being and all that no longer serves our highest good. We do not have to try to analyze what has happened in our past. We do not even have to be consciously aware of that old stuff that is cluttering our creative mental space. All we have to do is to be willing to replace those old thoughts and beliefs with new thoughts and beliefs. We just unthink them and replace them with the Universal Truths of who we are now. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We are perfect... we are whole... we are complete... we can never be diminished... we are always enough. No matter what the appearances in our lives, we are enough... we are complete. So let us open ourselves to those new and true thoughts. When we do, we will never want to go back because we will have expanded our souls and be forever changed because of it. How divine. How simply divine.
Our thought for the day is: 'Wisdom is not in words. Wisdom is meaning within words.' Quote by Khalil Gibran
Your dreams and desires can take form in your experience. Just believe that it will happen and then... when you least expect it... and from the most unexpected avenues, channels, ways, and means... they shall appear in your life experience. It is not a matter of "if"... it is always a matter of when.

Thank you very much for this wonderful and refreshing composition and for your sound words of wisdom, I enjoyed reading them as well, and the reference to Khalil Gibran has made me jump back to my salad days :-) Excellent work indeed, and have a serene week-end :-)

Wonderful Gayle. have you ever read Seths book from Jane Roberts. Very interesting.

When I realize that my past, is just a story I have made up about what occurred, and has no meaning unless I give it one, it is easier to let it go. Then I am able to stay in the moment and know that I am living the present while making up a story about what is occurring. My present only has the meaning I give it. Your wonderful work and words.........I chose to to give the story; that they both deserve a BRAVO.

This is absolutely incredible and so very beautiful! For the life of me I do not understand how you achieve this, do you offer tutorials for the 3D hack? Magnificent work!!!

it is true that each day which master key is never caught up with. Often I say to my wife, at your age you is still worried the EC what the neighbors will think… but would be you even as I am it in music, writing, images… and each day suffices amply for its sorrow! The regrets do not build anything… to have a dream is more important. WONDERFUL composition !

The depth and beauty of your style is amazing, the forms and color in this work are extremely pleasant and inspirational. The word "perfect" does bother me a bit; personally I prefer the thought that everything is in a constant state of change, and Platonic perfection is an illusion (but then isn't everything?). But I'd be hard pressed to find a word more appropriate than "perfect" to describe your meta-artistic talents. You should open for the Dali Lama next time he tours. Beats the hell outta church.

Your image is bursting with joy and hope – like a party of dancing flowers. The wonder of the moment is there is always beauty in nature if we choose to see it. Inspiring words. CC
