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
