Fly Like an Eagle … ( 09 / 06 / 2014 )
" Our Actions will determine whether or not time will keep on slippin ' into the future or we will fly like an eagle letting our Spirit carry us … To choose to slip is to choose to procrastinate and concentrate on what is going to come to us . Daily activities become mundane and we choose to become stuck in the rut --- the rut of work without considering others , only looking forward to a next paycheck -- - the rut of T . V ., only looking forward to the next slice of hollow entertainment -- - the rut of mindless habits and addictions to sooth the ego , only slippin ' into the future by ignoring the glories of the moment already present .
To choose differently is to choose Awakening . To choose differently is to choose purpose-fully by jumping from our cliff sof fear and soaring into leaps of real & selfless Faith . By knowing it ' s ok to let go , by knowing it ' s ok to not concentrate on " when and how do I get mine ", and by knowing it ’ s ok to stand Tall even when Alone … In such times , Joy comes from the smile upon another ' s face … Joy comes from serving someone less fortunate … Joy comes from Loving our enemy … Joy comes from saying Yes when we really want to say No … Joy comes when we choose to leap away from our selves and into our Spirit instead .
As Seal so asutuely noted : “ In A SkY FulL oF PeOpLe OnLy SOME wAnT tO fLy , IsN ' t ThAt CRAZY ?” Well I say it is crazy to keep our wings folded and impotent . So today I ' m gonna ’ fly ( regardless of any judgment condemnation that might come my way ) … I say my Spirit is going to carry me ."
