Time... what is it?... why do we need it?... and why do we feel like we're repeating it? We will continue to repeat the lessons of our past until we have recognized the lesson and its meaning. Doesn't make sense does it? Well... when we think about it, it really does make sense. It can be about relationships, jobs or other events which seem to repeat themselves. Each of these events may seem to be different and yet they have a common thread to them. That thread is the same end result... it didn't work out for one reason or another. Until we learn the lesson... until we recognize from within that we no longer have a need to repeat the lesson, we will continue to recreate the lesson until at long last we recognize the answer it has for us. Once the lesson is recognized, we will no longer repeat the lesson and we will move forward along our life's path. So how do we figure it out? Here's an example... Joe Average wakes each morning and predetermines that his day will be filled with stress. Sure enough he gets to work and things start piling up and eventually Joe Average becomes stressed more than he was the previous day. What is the answer? Don't really know... it's a personal decision. Each morning we arise to the possibility of many choices and opportunities. We can choose to be happy or we can choose to be sad. Choosing to be sad is a hard lesson to repeat. But choosing to be happy is a glorious adventure... it takes little or no effort on our part because we were created to be happy. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'Time is like a string of pearls. The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. It's all a matter of how you perceive your string of pearls.' Gayle O Move your eyes beyond what you perceive to be the end and you will find the pathway to your new beginning. I wish you a day of sunshine and roses. © Gayle O This is a single flame created in Apophysis 3D Hack 2.08. The seed script for this flame was the Moonlight Sonata version 2 by Bunny Clarke and Bart Doetsch. There were some tweaks by me. Post work was done in PSP.
