There are two events in life: let what happens happen and grab
every moment. They are not exclusive of
each other. It’s a choice we make each day. Do we lie in bed or rise to the morning? Do we reach out a hand or sit back and watch? Which are you?
Do
you feel like life leads you by a chain, your every movement predicted? Do you grab hold of the things you wish to
happen and never let go?
We all vary. It is
both our gift and curse. There is no
easy answer. What we perceive as reality
is drawn to us. What we desire can
change from moment to moment.
I have heard people explain the difference between a writer
and an author. An author is considered
someone that is published, presented by their peers, vindicated by someone who
believes in them. A writer writes. They cannot do otherwise. The words simply do not stop even though no
one hears the pin drop in the forest.
But I suggest we are all authors/writers, that the two
cannot be separated. We create from the
world around us. We perpetuate a reality
that influences our peers. We are
originators, whether we accept that destiny or not.
A glass of water spills upon a person in a restaurant. I saw this happen to a very dear friend. She jumped up, completely surprised. However, instead of rising in anger, she rose
with astonishment and immediately forgave the waitress with such genuine
feeling, it turned the whole event into a wondrous experience.
As a group, we bonded. At the situation, we laughed. We enjoyed life.
Every action we take, regardless of how it happens, is
recorded in life’s great stream of events.
Nothing is forgotten. Whether
judged as good or bad, happy or sad, all of life builds, forming the journey our
reality will create.
It is magic, a magic from a world that we cannot see.
It is music, whose melody is uniquely us.
It is hope, when the winds of time push us strongly forward.
Destiny calls us. The
choices we make determine its inflection.
We feel the rumble as worlds shift at our every whim.
Be the author you were meant to be. Find the hope, the love, the universe inside
of you. Be the joy to a child, a wonder
to the one you love, an inspiration to those you may never know.
You can do it. You
are doing it even now. There are no
mistakes in creation.
Be the wonderful person that you are and sail the oceans of
adventure with me.
