We humans seem to keep rushing forward.\u00a0 Getting this thing.\u00a0 Trying that.\u00a0 Achieving this goal at work.\u00a0 Just Do It.\u00a0\u00a0 Go for the gold, get the promotion, win the contest.\u00a0 Seize not only the day, but everything else.\u00a0 And teach our children well\u2026. we start our kids doing the very same thing\u2026. in every program and every sport. Lest they be left behind.<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the line, we got caught in this swirling skirmish that is perpetuated and reinforced by social and cultural means.\u00a0 We get overtaken by\u00a0 this impervious consumerism.\u00a0 We lose track of our authentic selves.\u00a0 Super-doooped-up lifestyles and\u00a0 materialistic mindsets.\u00a0 It all gets so complicated.\u00a0 I am as guilty as the rest.<\/p>\n

And.\u00a0 As a result. We have forgotten some of mankind\u2019s biggest life secrets along the way.\u00a0 Too many to mention here.\u00a0 But a few important ones, I suspect\u2026<\/p>\n

We have forgotten our place on earth.\u00a0 In nature.\u00a0 And in the universe. In the last few hundred years we have lost our communications in nature. We exploit it, and try to control it, and waste it.\u00a0 The Native Americans had a handle on the listening to and understanding the natural cycles of the earth.\u00a0 Its rhythms.\u00a0 We have forgotten how to follow nature\u2019s path and live in balance with it.\u00a0 And eating Oat Bran Cereal in the morning, may not be quite enough.<\/p>\n

And another.\u00a0 There used to be ancient wisdoms.\u00a0 We have forgotten these too.\u00a0 Our ancestral soundness.\u00a0 The stories.\u00a0 The traditions, and legends. Scientific knowledge has abounded.\u00a0 The head and logic over rule all. \u00a0 And because of this, we have let go of\u00a0 the true learning through the opening of our hearts.\u00a0 The possibility of the magic.\u00a0 We miss that very incredible harmony with the universe.\u00a0 And eating Lucky Charms Cereal in the morning, may not be quite enough.<\/p>\n

There are many more.\u00a0 But maybe the biggest is this. Everything is Love\u2026. and connected energy.<\/p>\n

This is an all-encompassing truth. It is hidden somewhere deep inside of us.\u00a0\u00a0 All of us.\u00a0 Somewhere along the line, the most of us forgot this notion of\u00a0 inner-peace and love.\u00a0 The everything of everything\u2026 is energy \u2026.. and consciousness.\u00a0 Most of all\u2026. we once understood that love is the fundamental fabric of existence\u2026.\u00a0 and it runs through all energy and consciousness.\u00a0 We simply need to remember how.\u00a0 I guess oatmeal might help.<\/p>\n

Simply.
\nThen why does it all seem so very complicated?\u00a0 So very often.<\/p>\n

If I could throw a coin in the fountain and wish it all exactly as I want it to be\u2026 I am sure I would get splashed.<\/p>\n

All we can do, on any given day, is try to open our hearts, our minds, and our selves\u2026. to all which is in, around, and through us.\u00a0 Simply.<\/p>\n

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.\u00a0 —\u00a0 <\/span>Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
