When the bar is set high for you to jump over, you have a choice in how to accomplish this task. This choice is inherent in the style and/or technique that you use to meet the objective. What must be done, will be done. Choose how you want to do it and do it in a manner that is in alignment with who you are, not who you are perceived to be. Our style is our fingerprint that we place upon all that we touch and do. It is what they will see and remember about you after you have moved on.
Words by lloyd pollard - Inspired by January 20th, 2009 Inauguration
When the points of light converge upon your destiny you are beyond any singularity of selfishness. You become in awareness and essence what you have always been, one with all things and impact-full to all things.
All that was will always be with you and accessible to you. When the need of a moment grows in stature, so will the power in you. Fear not that anything (moment, person, task) will ever be greater than your capacity, perception, spirit or ability to manage.
The places where we converge will be sacred and powerful as long as we choose to stand there with courage. This power and energy will travel with us wherever we choose to be and stand.
I stand not apart from anything - by choice or not.
Rise and meet time, then rise again beyond it. Rise to meet all things through the past, present and future. Rise to all possibility. Be to every opportunity. Rise and be.
You cannot prepare yourself in a moment for a moment. All moments before the one you are in are moments of preparation. Every moment exists upon the others before and yet to come. This is oneness. Nothing is independent.
Time slices and dices the universal existence into manageable chunks of experiences so as to grant us perspective, perception and a sense of individual aliveness. It breaks into pieces the whole that overwhelms the dimensions that we accept as our reality - physical, emotional, spiritual, dreams, thoughts. Outside of time, there only exists encounters, without urgency, that are loaded and governed by one quality and one measure: meaning. Energy creates and we live it into its various forms via our thoughts, hopes, perceptions, feelings, actions. Oneness can only be deconstructed by time and fear, time and unawareness, time and ignorance. Where we are right now is no more important a place in the measure of time, than where our human elders and ancestors were at any given moment, we designate as the 'past'. Time keeps us apart. It stores perspective, philosophies, ignorance, knowledge and fears. What we are now is no different from where we have always been as a species. Time deludes us into believing our creative use of energy to make new gadgets of life, is progress and makes us better than we were. What we see of ourselves is not what we are. What drives us is what we are and has never changed from generation to generation. We give and receive energy as every other element of nature and the universe does. This is a law of being alive. We cannot break it, it can only break us into its existence. Oneness is the place and existence where the powerful and necessary facade of uniqueness shares the stage with universalness. I am one as a microcosm of a greater oneness within a microcosm of a greater oneness and so on, to infinity.
I enjoy observing, participating and learning from my environment and experience. From these learnings I am inspired to create and express myself in both words and imagery.
