there is great power in the simple things. one of them requires only that you pause for a moment and take a good look around you, and within you.

be grateful for where you are, who you are, what you have. all of it. soak up total responsibility for everything in your now life experience. nobody else did it to you, although much of it is co-created. but that’s another issue. remember that you’re the anchor, instigator, manifester, in your specific experience.

until you’re completely in love and acceptance with who/what/where/when you are, the “why” will continue to eat away at your mind, your heart, and it will suppress your soul’s longings. “why” stands in constant flux, for it always wants you either to live in the past, or long for the future, which inevitably locks “when” into its loop, thus exponentially damming up your river of bliss. it continuously takes you out of “now” simply because it’s the most difficult question to ever fully and completely answer, regardless of how much analysis goes into it.

if you do figure it out, great! if you don’t, great! it’s largely irrelevant. great revelations and self-discovery come along while on the journey, through experience, through tripping, slipping, falling, standing up, falling, and standing up again. scraped knees, the odd broken bone, it’s part of the game (but, injuries are generally related to some kind of resistance, too).

if you want your cork to float to the surface, to allow yourself to get into the flow, to breathe new, fresh, dynamic air, that “why” and the resistance it attaches to itself, needs to be released, surrendered, and transmuted.

to do that, we’re reminded from many sources – thought leaders, spiritual gurus, animals, trees, and little kids – to find the gratitude for all that is in the now.

we are well and fully in the now age.

love your life,

“trip and fall”
by trance blackman
04/2012

the billions echo strong
the journey goes life long
aspiring to change
but is it out of range?

the noise is in your face
it’s always in your space
their business interests
attack you in the chest

CHORUS
picture something beautiful
imagine something wonderful
if we should trip and fall today
we’re gonna get there anyway
embracing all that’s magical
remembering we’re powerful
if we should trip and fall today
we’re gonna dance the night away

they say we’re near the end
your will to break or bend
the story’s getting old
but now you’re feeling bold

they want to make you fight
to force you left or right
dramatic irony
it’s when you learn to see

CHORUS
