Life is so good! But
in the past, it felt hard, unfair...I was wounded...my perception was
distorted because of that...the filters through which I saw the world was
smeared with pain and suffering...I wasn't able to embrace my life at that
time...I was blaming others, myself.
You don't see life
as it truly is unless you're enlightened...our filters change what is real...our
perception depends on past experiences...we become
separated from the truth...the truth is that life is good...it here to serve
us...pain is a necessary part of spiritual growth...we
need it...yet we try everything to avoid it...we look for escapes through
food, drugs, busyness, attracting chaos that keep us from looking at ourselves
deeper.
It's only through
surrender that life improves...when we stop looking for the quick fix...instant
gratification...and we begin to seek wholeness...we change our old perceptions
for a new truth...life is good...it always was and it always will be...perhaps our
spiritual lessons began in childhood...that our childhood experiences were right
for us in some crazy, mysterious way...no mistakes...just lessons...don't be a
victim...see the good that came from it...open your mind...your heart so you may see how wonderful and perfect
life really is.

I wanted to capture
the blue sky with my camera. It was breathtaking!

The man who views the
world at fifty,
the same as he did at twenty,
has wasted thirty years of his life.
