Identify the Part in You that's Sleeping"

"The bear inside him was sleeping".

This line is from the movie:

I could not help but to take this line and run like hell with it.  I am no stranger to utilizing other people's lines and creating a blog from it, why not?  This time around I am thinking deeply about whether this line relates to the darkness or the light in my life.  The darkest  part of my life feels like it is behind me now yet there are times when I fight to see the light.

What I know is that darkness is an illusion and light is the reality.  It is like the cancer being a fact and not the truth of who I am or my two friends with cancer are.  We are not our cancer.  We are our dreams, our hopes and our light.  We are the "bucket list" of things we will do before we retire from life.  We are the sunlight that shines on our faces even in the winter days.  What I know is that we are the part that is sleeping.  The bear inside of us.  The bear inside the people we interact with.

I cannot talk about the bear I slept with nor do I want to go to that darkness anymore.  I have promised myself that the bear I slept with is now an illusion in my mind and whatever darkness came from it was for the good.  Every day I read the saying: "you meant to do me harm but God intended it all for good".

All this to say to you and your spirit that identifying the part in you that is sleeping becomes more important each day that we live.  To know who we are and to be connected with your breath.  All this to share that we are not always sure of the part of us that is sleeping or the one in others.  Being in touch with that part is not the solution but rather to identify it and move into the light.

That is my intention.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
