So during those first moments of the day, which are yours and yours alone, you can circumvent these boundaries and concentrate fully on spiritual matters. And this gives you the opportunity to plan the time management of the entire day.
Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
Khalil Gibran

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!
