Crayons!


Are you staying within the lines?
Are your colours all coordinated?
Does your life resemble a detailed creative art display?
Or does it look like a jumble of colours splattered all over the paper?
Either way, lean back and look at it for a while and see the patterns that are created.
Your artistic talents are driven by your momentary direction.
You cannot avoid your own ego, so why bother.
You have been given a box of crayons in your life and your challenge is to draw YOUR picture YOUR way!
If you find yourself trying extra hard to stay within the lines.........then close your eyes!
And if you find that your colours are getting blurred and bland then, sharpen your crayons!
The rules of your art exist only within your heart...............hmmmm, I think that rhymes!!
Love Papa.

Too Late?


I am too old!
I have too much invested!
I have been doing this for years!
It’s what I know!
When you find yourself thinking that it is too late to change is exactly when you should be considering that change!
Life presents us with options precisely to show us that the skills and knowledge that we have acquired to date are transferable to numerous other possibilities.
What you have to offer is much, much more than what you do!
Or perhaps much more than who you are with!
Don’t forget to measure what you DO know, not just what you think you DON”T know!
Your value is measured by diversity not conformity!
It is never Too Late!
Love Papa.

Are You Really Listening?


The words are being spoken.
The vibration is surrounding you.
You keep asking the question.
And the answer is being given.
But do you hear it, No?
Are you really listening?
You have asked.
Your source has responded.
But rather than listen to the answer given,
You choose to ask again, and again, and again and.............?
Know that IF you have asked!
It has been answered!
The question really is..............have you prepared yourself to receive the answer!
In other words:
Are You Really Listening?
Love Papa.

Over Your Shoulder!


Take a glimpse behind you, at where you have been.
Pause for a moment and reflect on the path taken.
Allow yourself to feel gratitude for the experiences that you have had.
In our constant quest to see what is next,
We often forget how much we have already accomplished.
Take a few moments and look back over your shoulder and express gratitude for what has led you to this point in your life.
You have travelled a long and winding road and at each twist or turn you have lived......really lived through that experience.
Rather than exhaustion or frustration, see your journey from the perspective of wonder and gratefulness.
You are the most amazing creature and the pathway you follow is unique and wondrous.
Don’t forget to glance over your shoulder from time to time and see the results of your journey!
For you truly will only pass this way, in this very manner, one time!
And you will want to savour the vision forever.
Love Papa.

See it for what it is!


When someone acts completely out of context and treats you in a manner which you are not prepared for.
And you are so close to the problem that all you can do is feel the pain.
It is difficult to see what the source really is.
Because.....” the reason is never the reason”,
You often are not privy to the real reason behind the actions of another.
Therefore what you are observing is not emanating from the truth,
Rather from the veil being cast by them to protect some secret or reason they do not want you to know.
When you realize that this is true, you can allow the other party to pretend and continue their charade,
Knowing full well that this has nothing to do with you.
Sometimes you have to set your feelings aside and
See it for what it is!
Not YOUR Stuff!
Love Papa.

Home!


Home is a feeling!
Seek the safety and comfort of Home.
Home warms you from within.
Home bonds your physical self with your spiritual self.
Home is that place within you that feels ``All is well``.
Home smells good!
Home is when you are in alignment with the Universe.
Home keeps you warm on a chilly day.
Home is your heart shining through the darkness!
Find peace in your Home.

Flexible


Be flexible,
You’ll still get there!
Maybe the trip will be more interesting?
Resistance is the root of stress.
Flexibility is the antidote!
Let the wind blow you!
Let the waves carry you!
Allow yourself to bend and stretch.
I remember this song from when I was a small child:
“Bend and stretch
Reach for the stars
Stand on tippy toes
Oh! So far!”
Still seems appropriate!
Love Papa.
