So my Cardiologist calls yesterday and says my

nuclear stress test was abnormal, and we need

to do a Cath to determine the issue. No real

surprise since I did the stress test because my

EKG was abnormal. Not really a show-stopper

except that in 2011 -  I already had a bypass and

was sure there was nothing else left within me

that needed to be fixed. 

 

The wait to find out what is really wrong

continues, and I wrote the note below for

Ann, me, and anyone else this morning who

reads my blog who might also be waiting.

Even as we wait it is in our best interests that

we work to side-step doubt and fear and work

to stay positive and control our thoughts.

Even as you wait I hope this note assists

you in this effort. 

 

AS WE WAIT

 

Even as we wait for answers, for the clarity

and direction we seek, let us know the way

is being prepared – cautiously set to ensure

our most profound and greatest good – no

stone unturned, no solution not considered.

 

Even as we wait, let us not turn our thoughts

over to doubt or empower our fears, but

instead, reflect on the mystery and power

of a single thought framed in belief as we

affirm in our own prayerful style declaring

 

    I am a magnet for positive outcomes,

         all good comes to me now!

 

Even as we wait, let us love with all our hearts

this life that entertains and nourishes our

continued existence – knowing whatever

the outcome we can and will rise victorious,

triumphant, ready and able to flourish

and thrive.

AN ESSENTIAL NOTE

 

We are each a distinct, unique, and  succinct

      expression of life – a leaf, a petal,

a magnificent wonder birthed

     in a moment of time to flourish and

shine – a vestige of a creative force

budding and blooming reaching out

    to fuse its original destiny.

 

    In this presence we singularly grasp

the torch of all existence surging forward

    with our soul’s strength to forge our

desired contribution etching upon this

    eternity a lasting wonder – a flash

of beauty upon the retina of all existence.

 

Know all of this is a perfect moment

    never forgotten or erased instead an

essential note in the symphony of

    this perfect being forever pushing and

encouraging each tone hereafter to

    reach for timbre yet unheard of –

unimagined – reframing the sonorous

    song of perpetual becoming.

WITH LOVE, G.

DENYING UNCERTAINTY

 

Let us look in the eye of uncertainty

and deny its strength, refusing to be

held captive by its capricious nature

making victims of all who fall prey

to its mutable muse – its continuous

and fruitless conjecture.

 

Let us look instead to our unwavering

faith – our divine foundation where

all things work to our greater good,

our broader betterment – where lack

and less find no place to harbor –

where distress and disease lurk no

more to challenge us.

 

Let us look within and put our house

in order replacing affirmations

for what ifs and maybes – allowing

positive words and images to trample

and crowd out doubt and fear – letting

thoughts and emotions of regeneration,

wholeness, oneness to summon our

internal forces ensuring only our

intended robust nature remains.

Often we must face the elements of life and

deal with the not so enlightened issues of

continued survival. When life brings stormy

weather it is often difficult to clear the panic

from our minds and move forward without

fear. Ann and I have been trying to regain

our balance ever since my Cardiologist said

I had an abnormal EKG. The inspired notes

that come each morning often provide guidance

on how to weather this storm. I will share them

over the next few days because I hope they may

help others who are also braving the elements.

 

THE ELEMENTS  OF LIFE

 

When all frames of reference seem

distorted clear your head and look

again, for within the confusion exists

a way worth fixing onto, a way that

has gone unnoticed yet after careful

consideration will take you safely

home.

 

When all choices appear to be mere

confusion each puling and tugging

with hazy emotion, there is a possibility

that offers solace and with proper care

will offer you some respite from the

winds and elements of stormy weather.

 

When all things go awry and out of kilter

regain your balance with a considered

breath knowing in good time you will

manage this unique perspective –

take foothold where none before

existed and emerge triumphant ready

to confront whatever challenge

lies ahead.

SIGNS AND SIGNALS

 

When at times life refuses to cooperate

and what should be smooth sailing

turns rough, perhaps it is best to listen

to the signals, take heed of the vibrations,

and give into the moment trusting that

just possibly the way has been blocked

for a reason.

 

When at times only confusion results

at the end of each considered action

or response – perhaps the signs are

clear and a moment of deep reflection

is necessary before proceeding on –

allowing all communication to settle

in and be thoroughly reviewed.

 

When at times there is no viable option,

no sure thing, no safe way forward then

just perhaps it is time to listen to your

best instinct, your inner guidance and

take the most conservative choice,

the one that leaves you to venture

on  unscathed.

The power of a single thought believed,

completely accepted and entertained

by our subconscious minds, has led

hypnotized patients to have painless

surgery without anesthesia, or ailing 

suffers to be cured when offered a placebo

by a medical authority.

 

It is essential that we not overlook our 

own powers and harness this phenomenon 

of auto-suggestion, using it for our own 

betterment and greater good.  Let's start

with a single thought believed. 

                

A SINGLE THOUGHT

 

Give yourself over to the adventure of life –

open and ready to experience each vibrant

moment  without reservation or restriction,

diving into life with complete abandon,

knowing this is your time to thrive and

flourish.

 

Give yourself over to the potential of life,

opening the doors that have been shut

by confusion and misdirection – realizing

instead that nothing can inhibit your

complete existence – the grasping for your

rightful treasure – your magnificence.

 

Give yourself over to the power of life –

connected and one with your divinity

within – cocreating to maneuver  a

single thought into being – giving  it

form and substance through believing –

truly able to heal, to manifest, to create

your heaven and new earth.

I have come to realize that true love is not 

superficial, true love enables us to love

through the imperfections, through the

flaws and see the true divine perfection 

we each possess within. 

  

Ann, my wife, has taught me more about

love than any guru or meditation guidance 

I have ever encountered.  When we met

in 2005, I bragged that I had never had an

operation or even really been in the hospital

for any major issue.

 

Since 2007, I have had four major surgeries,

starting with a reconstruction of my cervical

spine, then the resection of a pituitary brain 

tumor followed up with the reconstruction

of my lumbar spine, then a quadruple bypass

to top it off a year later.

 

Ann has waited through over thirty plus

hours of surgery, countless hours in intensive

care, and helped me recuperate and live on

from each. And although I now walk like a

combination of Groucho Marx and Frankenstein,

while hearing just a bit better than the elder

Beethoven, I am still loved.

 

On Tuesday, I visited my Cardiologist for a

routine checkup and my EKG was abnormal,

so starting next Monday, Ann and I are back

to the stress tests and echocardiograms  to

determine if there really is an issue or if

this is my new imperfect EKG.  

 

So I wrote this note for Ann this Valentine's

Day morning. I hope it also helps you

acknowledge and honor all those who have

loved you through, and continue to love you,

warts and all: spouses, lovers, partners,

friends, parents, kids, and caregivers who

continue to see the perfect you through the

imperfections of this life. 

 

FOR LOVING ME

 

Thank you for loving me through times

of fear, concern, and struggle – always

at my side to console, to support, to carry

me, to find a way to calm my trembling

spirit simply by taking my hand and

forging onward.

 

Thank you for loving me, even when

I fail to love myself, as you gently hold

a mirror to my true nature so I can see

the truth of who I truly am and have

to offer – for showing me, the me you

love, so I understand my worth, my value.

 

Thank you for loving me, and picking

up my tired soul so I can see the life

left to live; and by grasping your eternal

strength, your perpetual hope, forge on

towards better days, to thrive and flourish

again, always safe within your loving gaze.

 

Thank you for loving me!

WITH LOVE, G.

LOOK BEYOND

 

Look beyond the struggle and challenges

of the day and find something meaningful,

significant, memorable, purposeful to fix

your sights on, to focus your attention,

to motivate you, to enthuse you.

 

Look beyond what isn’t and discover what is

worthwhile – impactful – useful – focusing

on what you can contribute to make it even

better, adding to it to enable you and others

to flourish – to rise up and capture some

splendor.

 

Look beyond what could of, should of, or

might have been and picture what you can

make of it now – here – today and set about

making this vision a reality – setting about

taking what has been given and breathing

life into it – giving it your own magic –

aiding it to thrive.

I wrote the note below for Ann this morning as

she prepares for a new week, after a very

contentious last week, when she had to

stand up for her beliefs and fight for justice.

What happens next is out of her hands, so

the guidance I received for her in the note

this morning takes her back to what appears

to be the baseline approach for living our

lives - we need to soar. 

 

My initial reaction when writing the note

was probably similar to how most of us

might react on a Monday morning;

"come on, soar? How about just make it

through the day, get by, or survive." We

are accustomed to hearing "soar" used to

describe interest rates, inflation, or

unemployment - always with a negative

connotation referring to some indicator

climbing well above its already inflated 

levels. 

 

Cleverly, I think Ann's note this morning 

uses this very same definition but to refer

to rising above the status quo - yes the

status quo, the existing state of affairs -

where some of us may be are marking

off our days with an X as if keeping track

of our time spent incarcerated, or at least 

waiting for our ship to come in. 

 

So I have taken the note's advice and I am

working on how to soar - to  live within my

full potential - enthusiastic  and authentic

today. I am just letting the concept roll

around my consciousness, asking how

might I be soaring at this very moment. 

Although I have not taken flight as of yet,

I am getting much more from the day. 

 

TODAY WE SOAR

 

Today we soar and find our peace

in simple things – spreading our wings

as we remember why it is we do what

we do – confident of our abilities, in sync

with our mission and purpose once more.

 

Today we soar in touch with our creative

center as new ideas and visions of what

could be fill our thoughts with projects

and prospects as we entertain notions

so delightful they seem to joyously

dance in our imaginations.

 

Today we soar alive and well with our

full potential – each cell imbued with

an enthusiasm so singularly directed -

so authentic our souls welcome each

breath with unbridled anticipation-

ready to reflect fully our divine

inspiration as we recreate once more

our heavenly assignment.

LIVING ART - AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT - DAILY POST ON ENLIGHTENMENT

               

 

In our lives we often exist with an illusion of

separation, as if what I do this very moment

in my tiny section of the universe is not

interconnected with all other living, all other

existing,  happening at this exact moment.

 

In fact the very act of thinking, conceiving

a thought expands all consciousness and

not only changes the thinker's world but

all intersecting worlds. I send the note 

below into the world and perhaps I do 

actually propel the universe one step

forward. 

 

LIVING ART

 

Make your mark on the day touching

it with your distinctive style, your

unique charm, transferring your life

and vitality to all encountered realizing

you are the vibrant center of this universe.

 

Make your mark on this day giving

it direction and momentum, pushing

it towards a higher purpose, side-

stepping the mundane, coaxing it

to morph into the momentous, into

one of a kind, never before experienced,

a work of living art.

 

Make your mark on this day leaving

no opportunity untouched, no possibility

unexplored, no mountain unclimbed,

knowing you and you alone are the

spark of genius and wonder needed

to ignite a new vision and propel

the universe one giant step forward.
