The good life on Playa Feliz / Happy Beach

The good life is a simple one for me

It is a good Espresso

taken in style

and sitting down and reflecting on life

for a while

It is asking for little

but the very important things

like sunshine

like clean fresh air to breath

like the stimulating sounds of the waves

tickling my brain cells

like my feet touching the earth, the sand, the stones

warm and green and colorful nature

and birdsong

and dogs and cats and ants and horses

a closeness to the creatures that share the Earth with me

It is asking little

but for good people surrounding me

people with heart

people with kids

people with care for the Earth

people with Love for their life, for Life

The good life on this beach

or any other place for that matter

is also about living my purpose

having my contribution clear and strong and consistent

at the center of my life

helping and supporting people in their growing and becoming

inspiring the unfolding of wholistic awareness and integral consciousness

in big and small ways

in all ways

The good life is not complicated for me

it is very simple

it is fulfilling

Good to know!

This i know:

Life is awesome!

Life is the only God i know

Nobody promised us all Sunshine in Heaven

When you leave the path you know

And the world you think you know

Behind

To find the Ultimate Unknown –

GOD

You will come to

Strange Places

You will see

Dead Ends

And walk Detours

And sometimes

You will go in Circles

Know there is not all Sunshine in Heaven

But i find again & again

that there is

PEACE

The Noble Qualities

In this world

the gentle-hearted often get overlooked

and the soft spoken don’t get heard on the tables

Does this take anything away from those Noble Qualities?

The beautiful Blue Butterfly in the Jungle

is never admired by a human eye

And she is still Beautiful

In the Eye of God

We may find it hard to go un-recognized

by our fellow humans

We may crave acknowledgement and gratitude

for our efforts and deeds

But in the End

It really does

Not matter

In the end there is only Me and GOD

And in the end i do things for the sake of doing them

or otherwise i don’t do them at all

So simple it can be

Celebrating

There is so much Magnificence

all along the way

There is so much Beauty

Simply there

All this Awesomeness is there

Anyway

But for me it beckons to be shared

For me it reaches another level when i can share what i see

when i can show what is cherish

when i pass on what inspires me

when i can quietly celebrate all of That together with my fellow Soul Travelers

Remember what you are

The natural world

is full of wonders

of mysteries & miracles

every day, every moment

when you really take time to look

you can see it, you can feel it

Despite all our science and accumulated knowledge

we have no clue what makes all of it the way it is

and what drives it the way it lives itself

it’s just there!

And we – humans – are just there

You are here!

All the never-ending twisting 

and explaining of our mind

can not change this fact!

So you are a wonder

a mystery

a miracle in action

There is nothing to explain, reject,

nothing to justify, sugarcoat or change,

nothing to add to you or subtract from you

It is simply by pure & constant awareness of your Self 

and of the world that you perceive,

you will come to the realisation of the only reality:

You are free

you are love

you are one

you are, what is commonly called

a soul

Be still

Be still mind

be still

why do you want to chatter all day long

Be still

like the trees

they only whisper

when the wind moves thru

Be still

mind, be still

then the world will hear

when the Spirit moves thru you

Be still my mind

and know

the I AM

God

river

look, the river!

flowing, just flowing

look how it clings to nothing

always finding the way

look how it flows

all the way

to the

sea

look, the river!

it just longs

to merge

I guess my soul

is such a river

How to deal with your wishes:

(it works for me)

Ask for what you want

but don’t demand it

Accept what ever happens

for now

Turn up your love

even if you don’t get what you want

That’s a very practical approach

(and it works for me ; )

Whales don’t really mind

Rain is moving in from the sea
Sheets of lovely warm rain
Driven sideways by the wind
Beautifully

I thought I saw a whale in the mist
But it might have been my fantasy

Anyway, the whales, they don’t mind the rain

They are not like us

happiness!

a gentle rain falling

yellow bird on a wire

shitting a bit

i smile

it smiles inside

happiness!

happiness indeed
