From the Playground

How beautiful it is to be alive? How to heal? To actually breathe fresh air left over from exploding stars and grandiose trees like Lolloby pines. While many chase titles and positions of power. Some are here getting the art of breathing, eating, walking and loving down. In the Way of the Peaceful Warrior, there is a part where Dan is eating so fast that he doesn’t realize it himself. Socrates points it out and, to Dan’s dismay and rhetoric, “What? I have a good diet and I exercise.” But, the real question is, “How are you eating? Slow down.”

This book is such a beautiful jolt in the face, heart, brain and body by life to slow down. Everything in nature grows and changes by taking its very own time. Nature does not rush or hurry things along. Yet, everything in time, is completed along the way. Endings are beginnings and beginnings are endings.

By the way, I learned about the Peaceful Warrior through the book titled by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, “Nobody’s Girl”. I have not read it yet and in some sort of way, I’m not ready to.

Often, I think of who, what, when, where, why and how questions while reading and while experiencing life. One that often pops up for me is: How does full healing happen? I’m on the journey to realize and experience the power of healing it seems.

Sometimes, like a supernova, we too, explode into bits of stardust-expanding never to be whole again but in some sort of light on the verge of healing, changing and radiantly glowing. Real life and beyond it. It’s a kind of healing that human hearts hum, humming along like a humming bird.
