Embrace Life and Live It, No Matter What!

beyond-fearThis life is finite and goes from “dust to dust” as Kathleen Dowling Singh, the author of “The Grace in Aging” shares. She also calls it, “Diapers to diapers.” We can’t escape it. We can suffer through it or move beyond the fear, accept and embrace the period we have left to us, and live it to the fullest. Live beyond the fear of dying, of being in-valid. “To ripen into an elder, into a being that is more than simply elderly and more than only self, is a deliberate, thoughtful, sustained choice that arises from the intention to see things as they are.”

World Peace

1305249Where does “Peace” begin? Many seem to think it begins with one country abdicating some of its power to another country or one faction within a country agreeing to ceasing hostilities with the other side.

This is so far from the truth. Why? Because in order to have peace anywhere, the way we look at each other has to change at a fundamental and individual level! In order for that to happen, I must not only change how I look at others, I must change how I look at myself.

If I don’t love me, how can I love another? If I do love myself, then I can find a way to love another. I can accept them for their differences and even embrace them for their differences.

Peace in the midst of it all.

1887638Peace is an inner thing, a feeling, and a knowing that, above all else, you are alright.

Beyond that, to me, Peace is the inner knowing that I am loved. That, above all else, there is something in me, call it a life force, that is eternal and will live on for longer than I can ever imagine.

I know and feel this, because even our bodies don’t cease to be. Their form changes back to the basic elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but it doesn’t just disappear and evaporate into nothing. And our soul, or consciousness, becomes free and returns to the ethers. I say ethers, because until it happens, it is the unknown. I don’t believe it is to be feared, although many do, because they don’t understand it. Their faith or trust in the universe hasn’t grown that awareness of the Oneness of all life. You can better understand by more consciously observing the natural world.

But, do not look at the natural world from an adversarial perception of life going extinct. That has been happening for millions of years. Look at it from the view of the eternal interconnectedness of life, and the constant cycle of living. Life is about living. Dying or transitioning, as some call it, is just a movement of life from one form to another.

So, if you’re open to it, embrace peace and begin to embrace life from a new understanding of the eternality of all things.
