Monday Meditation VII. Inner-dependence

in the words of the great  Gift of Gab

you can choose to say "Good Morning God" or "Good God, Morning"

Either way You look at it, I still say Good Morning to You.

I just love the depth in that statement and the choices.

All you have to do is change a word and it changes a perspective.

I truly hope everyone had a good 4th.

And as we celebrate Independence, 

a friend of mine suggested we celebrate our 

Inner-dependence.

So many times we can put it on someone or something else.

to quote Diane Warren who wrote the lyrics to the song made popular by Milli Vanilli 

                                   we...... blame it on the rain, blame it on the stars 

                                               whatever you do, don't put the blame on you.

Personal accountability is lost. 

It's the weather, it's because I'm hungry,

it's because I'm busy,

it's because I have work to do, important work to do,

it's because I'm sad.

I believe the idea is...

When you start with yourself you have no one else to blame.

But we don't live in a bubble so how do we flow 

with our own accountability

in the Fast and Dirty Streams of Life?

One way 

could be to use the gifts we been given. 

We can share the gifts we've been given with each other, just like

we share our mistakes and our problems.

One way to change the world,

is to start with yourself.

When you have peace in your heart, it's easier to give peace.

When your mind is clear and not wet with worry,

you can be better.

When you find moments of stillness you can see how busy the world is.

 In that stillness there is Your Calm

Your Gift with what to bring to that moment.

Your Presence with what you bring to the world.

Yet

these

Moments,

they are fleeting.

Let us each do our part, 

so together we're stronger.

"Every Piece Plays A Part"

This will conclude our Monday Meditations for the time Being

I bid you adieu, 

back to the road we go.

I'll keep you posted 

and hopefully see you 

on the road 

peace and many many thanks

Hey Now and Holy Buckets!
