North, East, South and West

October 1st, 2012

I step outside in the early morning.  My foot prints remaining in the morning dew. I take in the beauty of earth in its natural state just before the world comes rumbling through and right before the majestic sun rises from the east.

I love it out here, right now, because of the possibilities of what the world could be in the mind of a dreamer. I woke up, so I was blessed with a new day, so for now, I’m doing okay. The air is cool and as I breathe it in, it shocks my lungs and freezes my veins. My blood traveling though my body like a freight train of ice but it’s refreshing as it tantalizes my senses. I couldn’t feel more alive than I do right about now. I feel as refreshed as dry land being quenched with a rain shower from up above.

My brain is a blank canvass of new thoughts that hasn’t been tainted by the clutter of a busy day. I can see so clearly into the deep blue sky that slowly brightens as the sun takes its rightful place in the sky. The new horizon begins to unfold the pages that haven’t been written yet in the layers of my brain that wonder where my life will lead me today. My mind is sprouting new ideas under the beginning warmth of the suns early dawn as its rays nurture my thought process with fresh ideas and light to show me the way.

The orange fireball reaches above the earths imaginary line, the line that  stretches beyond the reach of a humans line of sight and gives the world its endless horizon. I can't move one step from my trance as I am in aw of a world that has not yet defined the incoming day. In this moment I am hopeful for a good day and I am afraid to move one step in a direction that will ruin my simplicity. I want to stay a little longer and bask in the glow of the light that is invigorating my life.

I hear natures early callers from the wild that seems to be in sync with the rapidly ascending sun. The birds sing to a tune that can put a smile on your face. It's the sound that reminds you your alive. As one breed sings another goes into hiding so they can sleep until his nocturnal instincts tell him he has to get up. Mornings that start this way is a treat before your morning meal. 

The sounds of life drift through the air as my ears capture the hymn that is almost gospel and it grabs my attention. Their tones ringing a tune that wraps into my inner being. I have to find the hope somewhere in those sounds to allow my guards to relax and let the healing warmth of the sun penetrate me so I can grow my inner self and sooth my weary soul.

The sunshine beats down on me gently passing through me and reaching to the land below as the soil is enriched and begins to grow beneath my feet. The buds sprouting life again, from the edge of the blades of cut grass by last weeks mow. It has sustain life from the nurturing of the suns light. We should take this cue from nature and grow each day we live to see a new day. 

Your world doesn't have to evolve around the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Just start each new day by looking at your life differently by watching the sun rise from either the north side or the south side of life, allowing the sun light to let you grow from a different perspective.

"Far Away"

You are here: Home » "Far Away" May 5th, 2012 For mommy in heaven… My kids wouldn't let me sleep last night. I kept them busy all afternoon and evening, yet they were still very hyper. I picked Nico up from school at 2:00 o'clock P.M. and decided to take them for a road trip to Broward County. It's a close drive from where we live. I am just one county over to the north. I didn't feel like going home and falling into the same routine. I wanted to stimulate the boys so that they would sleep later that night. Honestly, maybe we all could get some sleep that night. It's hard to get motivated in life when you are sleep-deprived. Nico leaves class about 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the school. Since he was a premature baby, he has had a learning delay with speech. The State of Florida placed him in a program called Early Steps. It's a great program, and it allows him to catch up to the rest of his peers academically so that by the time h...

Hi Mama. Bye Mama

You are here: Home » Hi Mama. Bye Mama. June 26, 2012 Hi mama. Bye, mama. And so it goes. Up the street, hi, mama, down the street, bye, mama. The boys know where they can find mommy. It's just down the road, a path we take every day. Everywhere we go. We go with the flow. Hi mama. Bye, mama. It always starts the same, the familiar path of the road the boys have become accustomed to. It doesn't matter what we do; we will always pass right on through; regardless of how we travel, mom will always be on their left or their right. She's never too far out of sight. Hi mama. Bye, mama. The boys anticipate the car ride. They look on either side as we drive by, seeking a clear view of their mama to be seen through. They eagerly await with no other thought on their plate. They are just waiting for the moment to see their number one visually. Hi mama. Bye, mama We are getting closer now; they look at Dad, their pal. Their smiles reach from ear to ear, knowing the time is near...

Anatomy of a Loss

You are here: Home » Anatomy of a Loss July 5, 2012 When you lose someone that you love and that you depend on, it feels like everything around you has just crashed and burned. It doesn't matter what is happening in the world because yours just got charred beyond recognition. You are forced to reprogram everything about you. Who you are. What your path in life was. The goals you had planned. Everything before the death of a loved one is scraped.  Your mind wanders about aimlessness, and you just go over your mind time and time again about how you will be able to do it. Where do you go from here? You are afraid and bewildered because you are unsure what to do and who to turn to. You find that you question God and yourself and examine everything about your life.  The doubts set in about yourself, and you want to return to the day before so badly just to reassure yourself that everything ...
