MONDAY MARCH 1, 2010

A SPECIAL GOOD MORNING!

Why so special you ask? Why not? I love answering a question with a question, it is my way I guess. Actually what is so special is the beginning of the month, any month, but March is the harbinger of Spring. And Spring is the rebirth of life. I love beginnings, they are so optimistic, so promising. The idea of new beginnings, starting a new journey, just starting anew, is so enticing, don't you think? or is it just me.

If this isn't a metaphor for life, I don't know what is. here is your chance to wipe your slate clean, so try on a new persona, to become the you, the you have always hoped and dreamed of being. Or maybe it is just a new month, a new day or a new year. And your life goes on as usual, no change, no learning, no great epiphany! And this is OK too. No one ever said that your life has to make sense, even to you, no one said there has to be growth and meaning and connection to your fellow human or even to the Cosmos.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with just being, sometimes just being is exactly where we need to be, sometimes just being helps us get out spiritual bearings and allow us to take in life, life so full and intense that we need this moment or series of moments to catch up with ourselves. Sometimes, what we need, what we are searching for is right there in front of us, next to us, deep inside us, and all we need to do is just be.......just be........just be.

So just for today, stop listening to all the experts, out family, our friends who keep insisting they know what is best for you, you know what is best for you. Take this time, this moment to just be and listen for the answers, if they don't come in rapid succession, don't worry, they will, they will.

Have a joyful day,
Robb
