There is no doubt that there has been many thing that have taken place recently but within all that I look at this weekend as one that really has placed some light on many things. I truly believe that what all I have done as of this week has had a reason. I can’t reason it but I can flow along with it and know where my own placement is.
In times as we live today as I was out with my camera as well as my laptop after good mornings visit with my father – I just flowed with things. But all said I have rendered my week as well as the day.
Easter seems to be something that many are writing about however I believe that it’s something with all that can come to be. I believe the gift within this weekend is that I have my own faith structure while I don’t dismiss others’.
As well I talked to my half brother for the first time in two years as I when I arrived home I felt that it was time. I guess that probably had something to do with the discussion with my father. Terri whom resides in British Colombia answered the phone and immediately he said “It’s Jack”. Well, I explained that I had been gone for two years and that his father as well was on the mend.
Thereafter I called a good friend in Iraq, and my mistake, as I did not realize the time difference. So today I just went along with a natural flow, what do I mean by that?
Early on in the 21st century, six or seven years ago, the word flow was coined to describe the satisfaction one gets from being engaged in absorbing activities that cause us to forget ourselves, lose track of time. Someone in flow could be anyone doing just about anything; a neurosurgeon in the middle of an operation, a musician playing an instrument, a tailor sewing a garment, a person just making a write on his or her blog! Over time, many more studies have been published about sadness than about happiness. Why hypochondriacs in robust health stubbornly cling to misery rather than why and how sickly people often bears up well and keep a positive attitude. Today there seems to be more “positive psychology” that emphasizes our strengths and talents instead of our weaknesses. When it appears that most of what we hear, watch, and read about what’s happening in the outside world is bad news, I within our own subconscious we come to know and find where that flow is. Hunker down and become absorbed with doing something we love rather than watching the news and getting worried. We are so lucky to live in the best province in the greatest country on the planet. In the words of that uplifting song from 20 years ago, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. The foundation of it all I truly believe is just what it is one doing things within a simplicity. There are some things that do change but there are some things that a person can adhere towards. Easter is founder for a reason, but within it all on this earth we have the choice that couples with whatever beliefs we have and with all that said from my area of the world I a great Saturday to you during this long weekend which a predominant amount of us all celebrate our own values.
Within a flow…at this time there was a person that came to define our source of values and he rose and left something that we all find very divine.
Happy Easter Weekend to all.
That was very nice...
ReplyDeleteI think your right...
I am not right nor wrong - Chris I just believe in what I do and it's something of choice per se.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Jack
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn...
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Weekend to you Jack.
ReplyDeleteThe Same to you Stephan, I just went out and got back in :)
ReplyDeleteYour writes are unique if I may add.
Nicely put Jack... hugs
ReplyDeleteEliz, just by way of looking at what you were writing I am glad you accepted and all that said I am just enjoying this as don't usually leave my computer one and I am just letting it flow...
ReplyDeleteAs well the same to you.
Best way to do it, letting it flow! You write well Jack, and I do enjoy your work. Thank you so much for sharing your views, opinion and self with me. xoxo
ReplyDeleteNow that state of "flow" is considered to be a state of meditation too. It is a very pleasant sensation when you come out of that state and realize how relaxed you have been.
ReplyDeleteYes both are in harmony pending all my roots are from an Art called Aikido...flow is ki or chi, and I have practiced and taught that since for some 20 years if not a few more but one does realize where there limits are as well and a routine is a flow but really something that is fluid is really something that you manage things in a cadence and by way of bringing about all the things within the same time without thinking about it. Once comes to know only by understanding if they feel tired or stressed. As here to even as fluid as we may be, a day like today is one that has mixed thoughts but then once the day is started and I am not only considering my flow - but others for today - it's one that hopefully goes well.
ReplyDeleteWe all do in our own way...that is our own given right.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Jack,very good post.All is well with me today.Easter was a blast.lol.Plenty of family,with cookout ,baby shower and belated birthday for me too.Today is a good day.May you have a great day and a blessed week. Loveya
ReplyDeleteThank you the week did not start exactly as planned but it all will work out.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that the perception of things within different time frames has affected the term the flow.
ReplyDeleteMy thinking is that one being in the flow in the 60's/70's might have been perceived to be spaced out.
My wife accuses me of being "tunnel minded" (her phrase). Perhaps I am just in the flow, but not her flow. Better yet, maybe I'm just lost In Space....
;o)
