when....when.....when......



when the whole can only be seen as the parts
when the responsibility for self is abdicated
when the external events are the cause of one's unhappiness
when the light of the innercore is embalmed in the thoughts of darkness
when the results of one's previous actions are not analysed and fully assimilated
when the steps and the footfalls are the same
when the desired results are not realised due to the same actions
when the fear is immobilising
when the content of the thoughts is not translated into self actualisation
when the luck of circumstance leads to the abuse of circumstance
when the epiphany of thought is just another thought
when the emotionality of a moment takes a lifetime
when a lifetime of hardships remains that
when a lifetime of magnificence is lost to a lifetime of hardships
when the insight gained is lost to the overwhelming fear
when the dictates of others governs the workings of self
when the selfishness of self precludes one from experiencing the selflessness of the whole
when the myopicness of belief makes one better than the rest
when the simplicity of things brings about joyousness
when the truth opens up new pathways
when the hurdles across one's path are only the challenges
when the time spent on one's passion is no time at all
when time becomes a series of moments
when each moment comes to represent a lifetime and as such is not squandered
when the light radiates from the inside out
when all the pieces of the puzzle of one's life become one
when the realisation of truth is evident
when what is evident lies between the inhalation and exhalation

You have said all the words I needed to hear today. Thank-you. Every time I visit there is something else that makes me think,even when I do not want to.
"embrace

moment by moment"
Powerful words!
Thank-you Derick

Hello Derik,

I stopped by to wish you a wonderful New Year and to express that I have really missed visiting and reading your insightfulness and wisdom. Hopefully with the hectic holidays life will resume to some sort of order. :o)

Thank you so much for your input at Astral Plane. I will be back on board January 2nd.


Take care and I will see you next year.

Best wishes,
Titania

Hi, Derick -

May 2008 prove to be your most amazing year ever - thank you for all of your wisdom and creativity. It's been such a pleasure getting to know you here in Blogland - your words inspire and enlighten, as always.

Namaste!

t.b.
the most exciting aspect of this journey of ours is that if we open ourselves up we will hear not what we want to hear, but what we need to hear.
the spontaneity is like the oxygen that the old blacksmiths used to force into the forge using a bellows
ironic in an expanding universe kind of way
take care
best for 2008
