Well, this is a continuation of the previous post. The mood of the morning ended up sending me off to listen to some Dan Fogelberg music. I rarely ever listen to him anymore but some moments just send me back to his music. Some of it was so full of his love and appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us. Some of it was full of the pain created by the attempts to relate to others and how often love turns to pain and loss.
Yes, it's going to be a day and there's really no way to say no to the morning. Nor do I want to. I'm learning to face it head on. Everyday is full of possibilities. Is it going to be a day full of love and grace or a day full of us exerting our wills. We all as individuals get to decide. The day's emotional expressions are based upon what I choose to do with what presents it's self from moment to moment. Sure, we rarely face a day that isn't challenged with humans caught up in fear, pride, ego, and self-preservation but once we understand that we have no control over others and what they do (that is unless we want to exert an overwhelming dose of power, which I'm really not interested in anymore) we can step out into the place of freedom ourselves and love and live in grace. At least that opens up the possibility of changing some of the ugly created by others who wake up and face the morning wondering how they can use it to their advantage.
The song begins about 1:25 in.
