From the cuff as they say...

Just back from vacation. It was great! Lot of fun, busy, exciting, relaxing and rejuvinating. I actually had some time to read! I will share more about that in another entry when I get caught up with the mundane work stuffy :P More changes on the horizon - I am looking forward to new journeys!
So with the thought in mind, I will share off the cuff....

Journeys are not destinations
Destinations are not final
Finality is not the end
I revel in the journey
The destination is superfluous
I see see no finality

Paths are ours to create
Though we usually do not see til after
When after is still a beginning
I love to create
Afterwards is a new opportunity
Beginnings are blessings

Love in it's true sense
Fills without emptying
Emptyness does not exist
Fill your senses with love
Emptyness is only fear
Exist through love and never be empty

Sieze the now

Leave behind what is past

Worry not about tomorrow

Now is the journey

The past are lessons
Tomorrow never gets here

LIVE THE JOURNEY!

Thought for the life...

I came across this passage in a book I am reading and it was so fitting. I thought I would share it with anyone who happens upon this place.
LOOKING INWARD
I no longer try to change outer things. They are simply a reflection. I change my inner perception and the outer reveals the beauty so long obscured by my own attitude. I concentrate on my inner vision and find my outer view transformed. I find myself attuned to the granduer of life and in unison with the perfect order of the universe.

I could not have said it better myself!

Runes

A quick thought on Runes. Not much time today, but I wanted to write. I have been exploring runes recently for a couple of reasons. One, I am working on a new tat design and it will be Nordic related as I am half Danish, I wanted something to honor my Danish heritage, which as we all know are the Vikings :)) So, I decided that I wanted some runes incorporated into the tat to give it more meaning and more.... Symbolism. Something that speaks about my life, thoughts, ideals, hopes, etc.
We went to a Wiccan gathering over the weekend - we have been on a journey of discovery - exploring different religions, philosophies and such and had the opportunity to take part in this gathering. It was very interesting and I learned quite a bit - about the Wiccan culture and myself. I'll talk about the gathering another time... I found a book on Runes there and decided to grab it and it really struck me. As I read, it felt... compelling. I was like a sponge. I haven't finished the book, but my tat artist loaned me a book that he found to be phenominal and very faithful to the nordic beliefs and not so much anglisized. So I am delving into two different veiw points into Runes at the same time and it is fascinating! The commonality is the quest for inner knowledge and the connection with our own intuitive nature.
A new journey for me starts and I am looking forward to learning more and more. It is fascinating, fun, intriguing and helps me connect in some way to my ancestors. I'll keep you up to date.
So..... Rune reading anyone??? :))
Never stop striving, never stop learning, never stop experiencing, never stop growing and never stop loving!
