Sometimes we just need a reality check… seriously!

So easy to lose perspective in life, of life, while trying to live life… and we then tend to focus more on the ‘stuff’ we ain’t got and the things that go wrong, or that don’t happen as we’d like or as we’d planned, and we get so obsessed with these ‘things’ we get bulldozered into this negative cycle, which essentially reinforces itself, at our expense.
And then, once in a while (rarely, especially to this extent) we experience something, or someone that equates to a well deserved ‘smack in the face’, I got that last week, went and watched a movie (documentary) called, “Searching for Sugarman” the story of Rodriquez… its rare to be moved emotionally by something we ourselves don’t experience through doing, similarly, its even more of a rarity to be moved spiritually (not in a religious sense per se), BUT to have both of these together at the same time is truly epic!
Go watch the movie, IT WILL move you, it will provide you with a much needed slap in the face, though its impact is a lot more subtle, its impact so much more unequivocal, more profound, just be open to the beauty, the state of senses it conveys … like seeing the moon landing for the first time but being on the moon while watching it…. see the movie you’ll know what I mean!!
Where humility, integrity and true beauty converge!

Beauty is perception...

When I see photos like this I wonder why it is that we crave so diligently things that contradict the beauty so evident! Is it only the lucky few who seek out and live this life where beauty is so innate to one's living who appreciate the levity of their life? We others desire so much 'stuff' that all else is compromised most notably our state of senses, our sense of being, our world so one dimensional that we lose our souls to it's linearity... And in doing so we lose ourselves and the opportunity to appreciate and experience true beauty in the world!

Blah Blah…and life!

I guess everyone goes through those up’s and down’s of life, the crests and the troughs so to speak, and things are far from dismal, and yet, at a professional level I feel rather “troughy’ at present. Maybe its the nature of the current position, being stuck in the middle, never really being able to just go ahead but first having to mediate (directly and/ or indirectly) amongst role players, which essentially alienates you (to some degree) from them cos you cannot be seen to be aligning directly with one, but must rather be seen to be ‘bringing the collective together’. So the reason from my ‘downer’ is more a case of having a sense of ‘grey’ about where things are, and I’m not a ‘grey’ person, I like black or white, I’d rather take a decision and find out its wrong (and take in the experience) than be ‘forced’, due to circumstance to not take a decision at all. Where everything gets ‘mushy’, and one feels (from a mental and somewhat emotional sense) like you are wading through tr...
