“Different Worlds”
A Bedtime Story
They were sitting under the umbrella on the edge of the patio. Their backs to the Pacific Ocean, they chatted quietly, paying no attention to other guests and their surroundings. The bar was the Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Pink Palace of the Pacific.
They were over dressed for the time of day and warm weather. He was tall, grey hair, handsome, wearing dress slacks, loafers and an expensive dress shirt. He was sporting a large Rolex, clearly, a man of some success.
She was very proper in her posture and movements and with her speech. Being Asian, she was probably educated in the finest schools in Hong Kong or Singapore. Her black hair glistened in the afternoon sun. The tailored black dress fit her subtle curves beautifully.
Surprisingly, no one noticed them. Most of the patrons merely sipped on their world famous Mai Tai s, as this is where the Mai Tai was invented. They chatted between themselves and enjoyed the beautiful view and the gentle trade winds.
He watched them from two tables away. Their auras projected wisdom, strength, and compassion. He wondered who they were. Soon his imagination took over.
Maybe they both owned businesses; maybe they were art dealers, could they be retired friends who meet after World War II. Or they could work at an embassy. He thought not, they were looked too refined. Maybe they were something more intriguing like CIA operatives meeting to exchange top secret intel. If they were, he thought it would be cool to meet them and hear their stories. That is if they could. His imagination was interrupted when the couple got up to leave.
Who were these people, how did they meet? Where were they going now? The theater, were they on vacation, were they going home, what does their house look like? Is it behind iron gates, or is it a luxury condo on the top floor of a high-rise? Or, are they even married?
He finished his mai tai and followed them. As they walked toward the lobby his questions continued, even though they would probably never be answered. Unless of course, if their paths crossed again somewhere, sometime in the future.
Your Powerful Mind
I was reading one of my favorite web sites, the Daily Om, and found this article. It really sums up how powerful our mind and thoughts are and how, whether we are aware of it or not, we are creating our lives with these powerful thoughts.
Hope you enjoy this and that it makes you think about what you are thinking about.
The Creation Ground of Experience
Thoughts
By choosing how to interpret and define each moment with your thoughts, you truly create your reality.
Our thoughts are powerful forces in the creation of our experience of life. You may be able to recall a time when frustration that was based on a misunderstanding completely evaporated when your understanding changed. This is because our interpretation defines our experience, and it can change in an instant. Our only true reality is the present moment, so rather than merely accepting that life is happening to us, we can harness the power of our thoughts to actively create a positive reality. For example, we can choose to appreciate beauty around us rather than focusing on traffic or look for admirable qualities in the people we deal with rather than focusing on the negative. By choosing how to interpret and define each moment with your thoughts, you truly create your reality.
Throughout the day, we can monitor our thoughts to catch ourselves in the middle of investing our energy elsewhere—such as into belief in limitations—and instead pull our focus back to the infinite possibilities of the present. Taking a deep breath will help us center our thoughts on being in our bodies right now. Regular meditation allows us to gain mastery over our minds so that we can still our thoughts to focus on the pureness of being. If we mentally dwell on the past or the future, we may miss the experience of living in the present moment. Setting and visualizing goals is wonderful, but we can bring our thoughts into our current experience by taking steps to create them now.
Our minds are powerful tools that we can harness to create our reality. Through them we move the unformed energy of the universe into form, which gives us direction for our words and actions. Each thought is like a stone dropped into a lake, sending ripples out into our world to affect all they touch. We can choose our focus and how we invest our energy, which gives us the power to design our lives to be whatever we choose in each and every moment.
