_.................... I am always pursuing harmony with the ebb and flow of life, through creativity and inspiration, there is always a way. I love conversations about self cultivation, not from ego, but from the point of view of fellow travelers who have worked through the internal chasms of self with courage and humility and lived to tell the tale. There is a kinship among those who no longer take things for granted, who's values have changed through awareness and self discipline. Especially if that wisdom has been turned into serving others in the community through teaching, sharing, and making a difference through selflessness and genuine joy. One of the biggest factors in the process is sharing strategies for manifesting hopes and goals, and overcoming fear through effective means of education and application of spiritual technique and endeavor....be like water, my friend is my mantra. It speaks to the universal way I apply my martial art training and my universal spirituality. The statement embodies the way I approach life, 'to go with the flow' 'to be relaxed even at the moment of impact' 'to change form and to adapt' 'to be fluid' 'to be reflective' all of that, and so much more..............I am determined.........I am full of light.....I am a believer in the synchronicity of how souls 'find' eachother.....and I adore meaningful conversations with fellow travelers who understand that we signed up for this school of life to learn from everything, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G...................................... .. "All too often, we complicate our lives.We can wonder and worry our way into confusion; obsession or preoccupation it's often called. "What if?" "Will he?" "Should I?" "What do you think?" We seldom stop trying to figure out what to do, where to do it, how to meet a challenge, until someone reminds us to "keep it simple."What we each discover, again and again, is that the solution to any problem becomes apparent when we stop searching for it.The guidance we need for handling any difficulty, great or small, can only come into focus when we remove the barriers to it, and the greatest barrier is our frantic effort to personally solve the problem.We clutter our minds; we pray for an answer and yet don't become quiet enough, for long enough, to become aware of the direction to go, or the steps to take.And they are always there.Inherent in every problem or challenge is its solution. Our greatest lesson in life may be to keep it simple, to know that no problem stands in our way because no solution eludes a quiet, expectant mind"........ Be like water, my friend"..........------------------
