All,
Today, I realized that: I have never been here before.
This startling realization hit me like a ton of bricks while writing about this journey with you in Spiritual Forums.
No matter how many times I've posted here, or gone to the supermarket, or said "I love you" to my wife, or ridden in the car to go wherever, for whatever reason....or simply walked from one room in my house to another....
...I realized I'd never done "it" before, and will never do "it" the same way again.
How can it be that I can never be the same "person" I was BEFORE I did it, having accumulated intervening experience "since the last" time?
Because...
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
Heraclitus
All is One...everything IS new, every moment....never to be repeated...
Ever, ever, ever!
Thanks to Heraclitus and Miss Hepburn for reminding me of this!

All,
Today, I gave myself the gift of doing something else I'd never done before.
I discovered this treasure trove of information by clicking on a piece of it. Which piece does not matter. Why? Because that piece...is connected to all the rest.
It is THAT metaphor I wish to gift to you for your enjoyment, all of which, and more, is now...At Your Command. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Nd8SgGero

Well thank you for the reminder, Guthrio
It has been a few more then 10 days since I last posted here and a lot has happened in that time! I recently began three classes and a course all aligned with the path of my heart.
I captured many beautiful photos of the full moon shining over a calm ocean over a week ago and the experience of that continues to stir emotions of joy within.
I woke up a few days ago and was struggling with feeling the pure joy of realising that I am aligning to my soul's song so to speak. The more I listen without judging or attaching my own agenda onto things, the more things unfold in interesting and magical ways.
I go to the places where my heart and soul call me and the inspiration starts to feed and fuel itself.
Something else which is occuring is that I am rediscovering the joy of paying attention and also developing those areas which capture my curiousity, passion and joy. An immersion of experience.
Another thing I am beginning to understand is that I need not feel guilt about following that which captures the attention of my heart. There is a story unfolding and those things which I am naturally drawn to place me exactly where I need to be.
No deed or "mis-step" is ever really so bad because I am a student gathering information as I go and each "mis-step" creates more opportunities and opens more doors then I could have ever imagined...
That is just a tiny taste of what has unfolded for me since I last posted here hahaha!

Ohhh... Today I gave myself the present of giving people the benifit of the doubt and choosing to acknowledge when and how others express their love.
Someone also shouted me a coffee  |

This made me think of how simply allowing yourself to bask in the present is a sufficient and oh so easy present
Lovely inspirational and uplifting words in here. I will check that book in your link thanks guthrio

Sapphirez,
... Strange isn't it? The present is the only "present" we have to gift to ourselves, or one another, to live every single, unique, non-repeating moment of it there is.
Enjoy....
