The Beginning

Here is where the story begins. Following the build up and growth of one individual over the course of time.

Not to get hung up on details. 

Not to be bogged down by extraneous feelings. 

Not to fear. 

But to learn and grow. 

To evolve. 

To document.

To perceive.

But most of all to show. 

To share. 

To encourage.

Happiness and the Next Thing

I keep looking for something that I do or something outside of myself, or something that I put into myself to bring me happiness.

The thing is, I need to just choose to be happy now.

Right now.

I am happy. In this moment, I am happy. Why? Because I have accepted, momentarily at least, that happiness is a choice. My reaction, and my mindset are a choice. And I can decide at any time what my mindset or reaction are going to be.

I am happy.

Now what?

What needs to be done?

Do it presently.

With Presence.

Thoughts

Back to my roots.

I am not my thoughts.

I am not my feelings.

I am the present awareness that lies behind both.

Fragments and broken pieces put together with care and attention, eventually make a whole new something.

Check some old good music.

There Will Be Dancing in the Streets (Original Song by Dave Brey)

We were all listening

to the garage band down the street

The noise it made our hearts rejoice

The music moved our feet

And when the dancing started up

We tore all the walls down

And the band played on as we took on

The whole entire town

Clap your hands

Move your feet

There will be dancing in the streets

   Move your body to the beat

There will be dancing in the streets

The sun was high the sound was low

We were moving in our chairs

And as the music lifted us

We were floating in the air

We started strong and soon took on

An excitable air

The music moving hearts and minds

Of everybody there

Clap your hands

Move your feet

There will be dancing in the streets

   Move your body to the beat

There will be dancing in the streets

The sun was low and the sound was high

As we all started to sweat

The droplets gleaming on your lips

Looked better than the best

And when I saw you moving on

The street in front of me

I realized I'd never been as

Used up and happy

Clap your hands

Move your feet

There will be dancing in the streets

   Move your body to the beat

There will be dancing in the streets

The sun went down

The sound turned up

The night is falling

Party on and on and on and on

Clap your hands

Move your feet

There will be dancing in the streets

   Move your body to the beat

There will be dancing in the streets

Clap your hands

Move your feet

There will be dancing in the streets

   Move your body to the beat

There will be dancing in the streets
