Embracing the change...

A few mornings back I awoke to this line from the Beatles song, it was the first thought: "let it be, there will be an answer, let it be"...

Answers come to questions seemingly unasked, yet are they answers to unasked questions? Or to questions we have asked of our deepest core, when we take the courage to face the inner conflict.

Excitement and living on the surface is a distraction we choose, but when life is only lived with "distractions" the soul starves the spirit evaporates...

Meditation, introspection and contemplation comes to feed the soul, nourish and nurture the spirit...

Walking by lake Ontario on the water trail, my senses captivated by the water, the ducks, the birds, the dogs, the joggers, the planes in the distant and the barren trees awaiting spring dressing...

I brought my attention to my heart and in that space a pink lotus flower bud began to bloom.  Each thought, each emotion, each feeling was the unfolding of another petal...
I continued to breathe into the petals, each inhale the awareness of passing thoughts and the their feelings, each exhale the unfolding of yet another petal of the lotus flower...

many moments passed, my breathing nurtured the soul, the spirit was alive.

With so much gratitude i allowed the lotus flower to stay in my heart, its flexible stem grounded far beneath the ground I walk... deep into the core of the earth

From New York

Yesterday I kept being drawn to The Museum of Modren Art - MoMa. Where we spent interesting few hours.

As we were exiting it dawned on me that an answer was coming to me from what I saw there - hope and a chance that "Maybe" is possible.

The art exhibit included a lifetime display by the actress Tilda Swinton:
"Actress Tilda Swinton stunned onlookers at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) on Saturday by spending the whole day sleeping inside a glass box.

The Michael Clayton star entered the venue when it opened and took up residence in the art installation, named The Maybe, until it closed.

A statement from the museum reads, "An integral part of The Maybe's incarnation at MoMA in 2013 is that there is no published schedule for its appearance, no artist's statement released, no museum statement beyond this brief context, no public profile or image issued. Those who find it chance upon it for themselves, live and in real - shared-time: now we see it, now we don't."
