~harmony~
I love this word. Just the word itself is beautiful, SAY it….”harmony”. It rolls off the tongue so beautifully ans simply, just as it should.
The definition of harmony, well one of the definitions is ” agreement; accord; harmonious relations, or a pleasing arrangement of parts”. After reading this, it makes sense why I like this word and what it stands for so much.
I am learning to become “in agreement” with myself over everything I do , say and am involved in. I want to FEEL good in every portion of my body when I am doing something. I want to feel “harmonious” and ‘right’ in my surroundings. I have the right to be comfortable, to be safe and feel at peace with my decisions,. Everyone does, all the time.
I am in harmony with myself RIGHT now! I love writing about life, love, feelings, and things of that nature. I feel in harmony with my world, the world around me and am at peace. I am not thinking about anything else either, just me, what I am writing and looking out at the sunshine for a little inspiration.
I want this feeling to pass over into all other parts of my life, so I can feel and BE more harmonious with the outside world. I know I am working towards this goal and I can feel it becoming more and more attainable. There are a few obstacles in my way, but when I figure out how to jump over them I think, no wait, I KNOW I will be where I NEED to be.
I feel love and loved when I am hooping. That is harmonious. I am at peace with myself and with the world while I hoop, nothing else really matters and I realize only what is in front of me, the NOW! I want those feelings to carry me through this life.
How can I feel those magical feelings while I am out in the world, when the world I am in sometimes is the opposite of magical? I know I have to FIND the magic, find the ‘harmony’ that I know is there, I just need to dig for it!
Life is teaching me so much right now that I have to keep listening all the time. I feel really overwhelmed, but then I remember that I am the one wanting to be taught, I never asked for a “slow teacher”, so I get what I get! I am wanting to take it all in, I NEED to. My body is bursting with so many feelings and desires that she doesn’t know what hit her. Life is what is hitting me, sideways, upside down, from the inside, backwards, all these ways and now where to start?
I will start with what I was writing before, with Harmony. If I feel in step with something, go for it. If I don’t, then I need to stop and feel why not, then go ‘accord’ingly. I know all this, I do, I guess it’s just a hard thing to implement when life and other fast moving parts of the world are whizzing by you at such high speeds.
I know I am not the only one who feels like time is speeding by. I ask others about this a lot. We are all really needing to pay attention to everything in our lives, in nature, how we treat other’s because I think this is a sign from a more harmonious side of the world that we are forgetting these things. So to attract our attention we are feeling sped up, and a bit un-nerved at times. Slow down, stop, wai, listen, BE. This is what we are needing to do to counteract all that is happening around us.
I was recently really inspired by The Dalai Lama’s newest book “Worlds in Harmony”. There is so much good information to be read in this wonderful little hand book. Things that we are taught as kids are so important. But I feel like people are forgetting these simple tools to make our world and your own personal life run more smoothly.
We were all taught to be compassionate to ALL living things. Compassion is something that many don’t have in their daily lives. Be and feel compassion to your fellow human. We are all humans, we all feel, we all breathe. Why is this hard to not remember this? This simple thing would allow for more harmony all around, don’t you agree?
Many people feel disconnected from nature and their own environment, when all you have to do is go to a park. Hug a tree! Smell a flower. Walk a nature trail, even go hiking! Sit by a river, ocean, stream, look at a puddle that is collecting raindrops, it’s beautifil! Small things will connect you to nature and therefore to a life force. Even being outside,simply walking to work can become a more mind opening experience. Pick up trash on your way. You are doing everyone such a huge favor by doing such a small task! I am surprised to see that people are still littering! I forget that not everyone is as open to new ideas of not throwing stuff on the ground because it “just goes away” or someone eelse picks it up after them. What if there was suddenly no one else? Our space would be filled with garbage and litter everywhere, what would we do then? Think of yourself and others, we are in this together!
I amhappy to say that I am ina place that allows for me to be creative and have a sense of self. I am lucky, here in the world we live in. WE are lucky. I may be poor(money-wise) but I am very rich in so many other ways. I am in harmony with my world, the people in it and my heart. I am feeling deep appreciation for the help and love I recieve daily from friends. I want to pass this feeling alon. I want you to be able to have and hold love in your heart, see it in your eyes and feel it in your body.
This is my goal; to pass out love like people pass out flyers. And here in the city where I am, that a LOT of love to be passing around!
Namaste~
