Grow Through Life

Don’t go through life, grow through life.~Eric Butterworth

It is not merely enough to go through life, but to be fully present in miraculous moments the Canvas has to offer. Whether busy in our days or kicking back in a warm embrace of nature.

With many lessons and/or miracles of life we are forced to grow in some capacity…how far we expand this growth is an individuals choice. A tree does not merely go through life, it grows into something greater than it was the day before; a chipmunk does not gather for today, but tomorrow whether it comes to fruition. We, like all things, morph through an evolution of self.

Evolution of self is about changing are perspective daily, opening ourselves to a new reality with each new day. Thereby making us not better than any one person or thing but better than we were the day prior.

Each new day, every circumstance of life, every individual brings a new opportunity of growth. Available to all, chosen by few, we have the ability to live fully in this great Canvas of Life. Choose to go or choose to grow through life…it is up to self.

Stepping into the Canvas growing through life: witnessing many miracles; experiencing many opportunities of change; having a new found excitement for the dawn of each new day. With experiences perceived good or bad, we learn from them, attach or detach from them, experience them with fresh new eyes…allowing ourselves to ebb and flow naturally as our Mother has taught us to.

At the Heart of it All

Oh the differences we share;

Yet we are the same.

Varying views;

Same outcome.

We yearn to answer unknown;

Laughing all the while.

Together as one in a circle;

Healing One and Healing All.

Speak or remain mute;

There is no set rule.

Listen intently;

Spark! another story presents.

Digging within the self;

We reach deep into another.

Share and receive;

Give and take that much more.

There is no magic, no secret formula;

It just is.

No longer looking out;

But looking in.

Cutting through the differences;

Still remain the same.

At the Heart of it All;

Love remains.

Finding myself in a circle of friends once again, filled with wonderful conversation. Sharing stories, sharing laughs…but most importantly new discoveries within ourselves. As one speaks, another shares…and so on. More laughs, More stories.

It is within these circles of friendship that time truly does stand still…often carrying us into a new day. As if it were only an hour, reality multiplies time by a factor of eight. Worldly problems minimized to a singular level. For what happens to the least of my Brothers, happens to me.

At the Heart of it All we are Stepping into the Canvas without boundaries, without labels…merely Love in our hearts. It is within the circle of life we expound possibilities of detaching from the label of things…only to remain at the Heart of things.
