Eighteenth, September, Two Thousand Five



Summer Sky, 2005


The secret of beginning a life of deep awareness and sensitivity lies in our willingness to pay attention. Our growth as concious, awake human beings is marked not so much by grand gestures and visible renuciations as by extending loving attention to the minuest particulars of our lives. Every relationship, every though, every gesture is blessed with meaning through the wholehearted attention we bring to it.

In the complexities of our minds and lives we easily forget the power of attention, yet without attention we live only on the surface of existance. It is just simple attention that allows us truly to listen to the song bird, to see deeply the glory of an autumn leaf, to touch the heart of another and be touched. We need to be fully present in order to love a single thing wholeheartedly. We need to be fully awake in this moment if we are to receive and respond to the learning inherent in it.

The lyrics to this song could not be any more "perfect".

For so many days of my life I feel I have been seeking perfection, whether with appearance, communication, love, happiness or sadness. I have found perfect moments, but never this idea of perfection. I now believe perfection lives inside of all these imperfections we hide, feel shame for and lock-up and throw away the key.

The wind blows to achieve balance on earth, lately the wind in my life has been a hurricane of feelings. Leaving me in a state of awareness and devistation. For far too many hours I have lost strength hoping to save my world alone, I have realized I too, need help along this journey. Stopping in my tracks and asking, has been the most worth while lesson I have learned yet. What does tomorrow have in store? I wait with open arms, and an even more open mind.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


Fix You, Coldplay
