Where is Your Wisdom Today?
Where does your wisdom live today?
In your toes?
In your eyes?
In your knees?

Today there is a part of your body that's wiser than the rest.
Find that place.
And listen and learn.

I Didn't Listen to my Heart Today

I was so busy. I was so involved.
everything was more important ~ more pressing, and more in reach.
my ego followed every distraction's bright promise of progress.
my mind leap with every thought.
my hands reached for every bauble.
and I was immersed in it all,
up to my eyeballs. 

and now, the sun fades away, and I am empty.
I am tired, although its still early.
I am hungry, though I ate all day.
I am sad, though 'nothing' is quite wrong.
I just didn't listen to my heart today. I just didn't. 

I spent the waking day looking away from what's real ~ what's true and beautiful.
perhaps I will sleep more wisely.

The Rhythm of My Life is Mine to Change

Life is lived in a rhythm. 
A beautiful rhythm that is all my own. 
Each step I take, each thought I have,
Each and every bite taken and hand shaken.
The way I listen, the way I see.
The way I play with the world around me.
The way I pay attention to the world within me.

I create the rhythm of the life I live. 
And the choice is mine, always. 

And what of my heart?
She responds so faithfully to the rhythm I choose.
Is she happy with the rhythm I've choosen today?
Is she vibrantly beating in time? 
Or is she tired?
Is she comfortable and content as I live today?
Or maybe saddened by my choice to choose a pace that doesn't acknowledge her wisdom?

Both stillness and action are part of my heart's wise plan. 
But if I feel out of balance or out of breath,
The job is mine to stop, to check-in, to listen to my heart and find the pace that is right for all of me today.  
The rhythm of my life is mine to choose and mine to change.
