I recognize there is no time like the now to clear up the clutter in my life. Although the task maybe be arduous at times, little by little as I work through the clutter I am clearing space for new possibilities in my life. Every day I re-mind myself that clarity comes from clearing up clutter. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

This quote caught my eye earlier today…
Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy. ~~ W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge, 1943
Reflecting on the subject of taking delight in something “while we have it,” I think back to times of great joy. We know instinctively in the midst of sheer joy, that that joy will not last forever, but we still revel in it while it is happening.
And then, is that joy not our solace, when we slip down into a period of the dark nights of soul. It is there, lost in the dark nights of soul, that we reflect deepest sometimes. And that reflection at first can appear messy, like the reflection of the clouds amidst the winter trees in the marshes.
Difficult as the path may seem, it is taking the journey through the dark nights of the soul that clears our hearts and allows us to find strength in the notion that “nothing in the world is permanent.”

“A 21st Century worldview of unity and love is emerging, but we’re constantly being drawn back to 20th Century illusions of separation and fear. With every thought we think, we chose for all humanity whether to go forward or go back.” ~~ Marianne Williamson

When left bereft, we must each rise up and find the majesty within our weary souls.
Tired, void of energy to carry on, we must re-mind ourselves that each set-back, leads in time to steps forward.

Taken earlier this month at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge… A Rough Legged Hawk in flight…
Sitting at my desk today, watching the rain pour down on the Merrimack River, I wish I could be like this lovely raptor, in flight.

The path to enlightenment often leads us down some very strange roads. Alas, it is all good, for every road reveals a lesson. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey
