So here I am...

The only thing that one can truly control is his/her own movements and when that control has every intention of a greater self, life becomes an honorable journey.

There's a point in all our lives when we forget. We forget to actually look around at where we live, look at our loved ones to see how they're truly loved, look at what we do for money, or look at our friends and see them through their eyes. When we forget to really look and forget our intentions, we not only miss our awreness in humanity, but tasks, health, and our ego may start to slip out of touch into the obliviousness of ignorance.

Granted, when we do forget, there's usually some sort of swift kick in the ass and a little shaky-shaky to wake...us...up. Many people need more than a poke. For some people, events like a car accident to tell them to slow down, a heart attack to snap out the financial stress, or loose a loved one to be reminded of compassion. Something will happen. When you give yourself a chance to reflect and see the past events as lessons and not as mistakes or hidden messages (and if you're like me), you'll want to laugh and start shaking people in the street and scream at them, "WAKE UP. Wake up, look around, can't you see the beauty in it all?" Okay, maybe not. A little awareness in our world however, would only advance our community a little more, no?

In my little world, all I need is a few days of the flu to realize how important my health is and to feel rejuvenated. Better still, all I need for a slap back into ambition is the loss of a loved one...loss, not by death...but by choice.
I have had such a privilege to experience the feelings of awesome love. Each time, either I've let go and been let go of, but every time, loving relationships just gets better. That's one awareness...that it is as it is.

Those who are my friends, are loved, those who are lovers, and forever friends.
