Celebrating where we have been

Greetings everyone Happy Thursday,  

There are many times we wish and wonder why we don't make the progress in this existence that we think we deserve...  

In allowing ourselves to gain a higher perspective, like that of Hawk; we are asked to look down and see how we walk our walk from an observers point of view....

Then appreciate how far we have come and the lessons learned.  

 Sometimes, we are forcing the pace that we travel, rather than allowing the current of the river to carry us... In such a hurry to "get there" only to find, there is no "there".

It is a constant journey to which there really is no destination, just stops along the way.  

And in our pushing, we become frustrated and loose our objectivity, missing the signs that have been posted along the way...or more importantly, miss our exit, or turn off...  

Allowing life to unfold, listening, reflecting on where we have been, being joyous and excited about where we are going allows us to celebrate our existence, to celebrate our growth through rites of passage.  

Maybe it's time to create a ceremony to celebrate your rites of passage.  

 In this time of Coyote, allow yourself to see where you may be tricking yourself.  Allow humor and joy to allow you to laugh at yourself and move forward.  

Celebrate life. Reflect, but don't dwell on the past. 

Be present and love the moment, and get excited about the future.   

Who knows what lies around the next bend.... :)  

Here is the thought for the day!!!    

 I'll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall,
to brighten your heart when the gray shadows fall.

On a canvas of joy outlasting the years,
with a soft brush of sweetness to dry all your tears.

I'll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles
That glow with sincerity over the miles.

On a palette of words I will tenderly blend
Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind.

I'll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide,
Your sights and your sorrows will vanish inside,

And deep in the center of each different hue,

A memory fashioned especially for you.

So lift up your eyes, for suspended above,
A rainbow designed by the fingers of love...

"I'll Paint You A Rainbow," by Grace E. Easley
