The fire within.

by Don Case on Saturday, January 1, 2011

You can not see it, it is just there. It can not be felt,
it has to be that other sense,the one that is always
just out of grasp and sits just behind your left ear.
When you stick a big wad of gum on a top it does
interesting things, that odd balance dance.

But then, truth is there is no gum nor a top. There
are times when the world seems odd.It is the uneven way
things are compiling, organizing, categorizing. The box
gets bigger but it is still slower than the clutter that
fills it.

A worry here, a distraction there, another new interest,
what was the last one? Oh the list of responsibilities,
they pile up till the box has no corners or edges.
The world as we know it is changing before our eyes.

Then reality comes right up and slaps you in the face.
Breath.......now breath again, life is what you make it.
The air we take in is what sustains it, the fuel that
feeds the fire. Breathing is inspiration and release as
is our thought, our work, our love, life itself.

What is your thought, the one you hold dear but never
express?What is your work, the secret one that drives you?
What is your love, the essence of your desire? These are
your life and motivation. Live them to the fullest for the
clutter is not life but just things and stuff. Start a new
year with a new breath of life and a fire un-quenched.

Happy New Year!
