Look to See

So many things pass by us in life. Special things. Important things. All because we look and do not see. We look over our shoulder and through people and behind our backs and everywhere, but straight ahead to what is in our direct sight. We miss lonely people and unnoticed tears, and hurt feelings, and cries for help because we are busy, busy, busy going nowhere in hopes of becoming somebody. But we are already somebody. And we are already somewhere. The present is now and it is important. Don't miss it longing for the past or wishing for the future. Life changing moments are now. You must learn to see.

Bitterness Tastes Bitter

A post someone made yesterday made me think about forgiveness. It is so easy and natural to feel bitter and angry. We feel entitled to others forgiving us and to second chances, but when we are wronged our justice meter tries to override our forgiveness. The truth, however hard to swallow is, forgiveness is vital. If your heart is full of bitterness and your mind full of the wrongs done to you, it leaves no room for peace and joy and love. Bitterness rarely hurts the other person, but it will always damage you. It taints everything from your thoughts to your decisions. Let it go. A healthy person wants healing for other people and not revenge. Revenge does not change people. Love changes. Love covers all. Choose love. Be love.

In between the inbetween

Life is flying by and I am still. I feel stuck in this path of just keeping on without having a sense of purpose or direction of what I am keeping on to. I feel angry and disappointed in myself at where I am in life. I feel like I am constantly being redirected, yet never getting anywhere. Where to go from here? That is the question.
