Time

Many of you have asked me how I decide what I'm going to write every day.  The truth is that I try to stay open and let things come to me.  Sometimes, like this morning, I wake up with the idea in my head.

So the title of today's blog is "Time" and I think it's an important thing to talk about.  Once you start to practice the things we've talked about, you need to understand that although this practice will improve your life.  That with life has its own flow.  You will still have good times and bad times just as there are different seasons.  These practices will make the fallow times easier, but the fallow times will still be there.  Why is this?  Because to appreciate the best, we must understand the bad.  The song that always said this the best to me (and the one I woke with in my head this morning) is The Byrds "Turn, Turn, Turn"  Here are the lyrics:

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late

There is no magical cure to make life always be the best.  But the more you work on the practices we've discussed the lows will be less & the highs will be higher.  It's an amazing thing to be connected to God/universe and the feeling you get being in the flow is incredible.  Continue your work and I'll be here to help.

Have a great weekend, see you Monday,

Bill
