It's Time To Dance On A Moon Beam!

In this timing in your society many of you are feeling the stirring to do something different; to change the pattern of your life. Most of you have been programmed to think that once you have made a choice as to what your 'life's work' is, then it would be considered flighty or fickle, to change it. Also there enters in an element of fear around security. We remind you that nothing is cast in stone, nor are any of the multitudinous choices mutually exclusive. It does not have to be 'this' OR 'this' for the rest of your days. It can be this AND this AND this AND this. You really are grandly creative. You can do any thing you want. Go for it! Follow your excitement! Do what makes your heart sing!


What an important statement to remember as I experience physical life. Dr. Jani King the Australian psychologist wrote it in her book The Gift. I can experience whatever I choose, but I seem to limit myself with thoughts of conformity. I must follow a path that is safe, secure and non-threatening. I must be a small wave in a big ocean hitting my beach of dreams with the force of a drip. I have been conditioned to stay in the box of nuts and let others be flakes that create a different mix of life. I sit back and watch days turn into nights and wander through my daily routine with a quiet resolve. I accept complacency and twist myself into knots of stress that eventually tie me in dis-ease. One part of me is screaming to be set free, but my ears hear the voices of others who are bound in the same knot of fear.


Jani tells me I can do or be anything. In fact physical life is experience. If I stay on the road of security I may miss the road of opportunity; I may pass the road of individuality and rumble along in the back seat of misery. There are many choices, each one a lesson of growth and I expand from each probability I encounter. I can be the drop out that drops in to another world of joy, by letting myself be the experiment called physical being.


Certainly there are some folks that know from the start what they want to experience and are perfectly happy in that role through the entire journey. Others go from pillar to post trying to find the magic called happiness only to find a bag of distorted dreams. Everyone creates the journey by his or her own thoughts and dreams. What feels good to me may be agony for my neighbor, and that's okay.


The real question is what feels right for me? What do my inner senses tell me about my path? Am I happy being what I created or is it time to change the story and become something different? The answers sit within me and I hear them everyday. I try to cover them with stuff and toys so I can be satisfied but I still feel a yearning. One self is trying to break the silence by yelling: "It's time to feel my life get off the wagon and run for it."


The joy of being physical is my gift. I can unwrap it and let all the natural wonders jump into my world and taste everyone of them. I am free to ride on the rocket of my desires and touch the stars, dance on a moonbeam or surf the giant wave to the beach of love. I do it through my thoughts and I create what I will to be. I am a multidimensional being that expresses itself through change. To be all I want to be without restrictions is my quest; it is my choice; it is my source expanding through the love I express in this now of everything.

You know why I love what you are doing here with your writing, Hal? Because you are not exactly a kid; you are no spring chicken, as they say, and you’re actually thinking of making change. I think it’s quite admirable and inspirational to others whose eyes are opening to possibilities. Please keep us up with inspiration.

Thank you, friend. Sherri

I am so charmed by your musings, new HalFriend!  I'm also giggling aloud (GOL?) at Sherri's wonderment and delight that at 60, you're “actually thinking of making change.”  I hope that no disrespect is taken - Sherri, I've seen many of your posts and your wisdom and light shines in all directions!  But for me, today, your youth is particularly adorable. ;o)

I posted a short story from my experience which I feel compelled to share, relating to age, new things and perspective.

You're an inspiration to me, too, Hal. :o)

Great blog post Sue. 73 again!!
One of the changes we can consider is to stop watching the clock and let our inner time denote our age. By that watch we are all the same in age and consciousness.
I love your energy Sue.

Another gem Hal..

and as I said in another blog recently perhaps your growing younger, when we see the sea of potential we no longer see limitations, self imposed expectatons and
 '' the retirement''
life can begin now..whenever that is..
I shall be living as if  each moment is a new start..
I often think of the day when ageing will be no more and maturity will be seen in other contexts…
I know there are seasons, each renews and becomes that which it is…However so do our bodies, renew and be…

Love you and your creations Hal…

hahaha I tell you guys my so called wisdom is inspired. I'm just a kid at heart! People in my space have no clue my true age and I wonder a lot sometimes… It's gotta be in the hundreds.

But I was reflecting how many times I do hear that someone is too old to change etc. It's refreshing to get this kind of energy from someone I honestly look up to for experience and real world wisdom. It's very encouraging.

I'm gonna nip over to MamaSue's blog now and check it out.

See you guys later! Sherri

I thought I would add,

an inspiring thought, my Dad was 73 when he learned to play the guitar, write poetry and be published and began to sing,
 thought about this after watching a video link on Nightphoenix blog on NDE's.and past life and between lives regressions.
Guess my Dad wanted to make sure he did all those things before he decided to go home at 74yrs..I believe he found his greatest joy and freedom in his souls true expression..

blessings…

Thanks for your thoughts. I wrote something about age last year. I think I'll find it and post it this week.
My father at 87, got marry last year, works 3 days a week at a golf course and plays golf almost everyday. As he says good health is all in the mind and so is senility. It's my choice!
I appreciate both of you!

Great insights, Hal!  My grandpa got married for the second time when he was almost 80 to a sexy hot 75 year old!  Let's just keep breaking down stereotypes….and celebrate the freedom of moving beyond labels.  Love!
