Careers....relationships
....up or down......
.....percolating coffee...
......between black and brown....
........wakes us up....when we see....
.........someone going up....up.....up
...........ever higher...than what should be....
....Some slant downward....
.....leaving us wondering why...
......careers in stall, someone, please just try....
.......loves broken, souls not in sync...
.........stretches our hearts, limits where we think...
.....We live for the movement upward and higher....
......we sail and straits are not dire....
.......the ones we will follow....
.........the paths seem drier...
....The patterns of life and love all the way through
......shape who we are....
.......and define the ones who....
.........will be with us....for all that is true....
Some may have seen as the sun goes down over the horizon... it is seen by only a few... the last part of the prism of light, as the sun disappears, there is a flash of green... this is really a metaphor for seeking special moments in nature, God's gift to us in the environment of nature... we do need those moments... crisp air in a winter morning after a fresh snowfall... the whisper of mist from a waterfall on our face... I have seen the green flash once... on the beach in Hawaii... it is a real phenomenon...
The Pink Flash is romantic love which touches most all of us sooner or later and some of us several times. It is like a whoosh... before you know it, you are so bonded with another in a rush of romance... it can be ageless, unplanned, can end in joy or pain... we all need this to be truly human, and yet we are learning about it all our lives... the lessons go on and get some of us so engrossed and confused, we often think we are starting all over again... yet we must learn from each one and must follow our heart... no easy answers here, just that we cannot avoid this so human part of our full life... when the pink (heart) flash truly hits, you feel like you are in a free fall... its power in life is among the greatest gifts.
Whatever a person's faith, there are moments when each of us seems to be spoken to directly or given a clear signal by the Creator. I call these ``white moments". Time stands still. There is no worldly explanation. Logic is defied. But an answer is given. A gift seems to be delivered. A messenger shows up. Something unexplainable occurs. Some people spend more time with this, actively pursuing the Creator' guidance. Others deny the Creator, yet admit that they see answers that they cannot trace to a source. Can we pursue answers actively? Can we learn to invoke these powers? A full life seems to include the awareness that we are searching and that this search gets richer and richer as we grow... in the life-long pursuit of happiness, it is hard to avoid some moments that are unexplainable and seem too unreal to be true...
The Blue Flash is the moment when one sees one's life purpose. Laying out in front of your feet just like a pathway. Some see it as a picture. Not everyone has this one. Those lucky ones who do describe the moment with excitement. It always takes place with some other loved one present, always takes place in a peaceful place, and people describe that their themes of life come together in a single concept or idea. It can be a company, a career goal, an idea of a central project for one's life... why we seem to justify our existence, education. It seems to occur at mid life, rarely early. People seem to need some pain and confusion and wandering before it is achieved. BUT, those who find it and follow it are the happiest on earth. They seem also to be the bravest, the toughest, and most willing to help others find it. It becomes a passionate pursuit of happiness at the highest level.
About Me
- dr. mike mcmanus
- San Diego, California, United States
- Without passion, we are almost nothing...My purpose is ..to light the fire in others and keep my own fire burning bright....in the pursuit of love and change in my life ...finished a book, "The Four Great Flashes of Life", it is out now thru Amazon...the next one is out in March, 2011, "The Ship of Friends..." Global education is our true bridge. But, it must be done with quality...not "public speaking courses" by distant learning for the masses....higher ed needs some colleges and universities which show standards, not "swisch" learning...CIBU exists for what brought global laeders to their highest levels...through class interaction, critical thought, creativity, global teamwork...not quick, remote, anonymous learning, mass market mediocrity. I believe we must give back...that art is our greatest gift, even in business, that it is our divine gift, that we must bring it out, help each other bring it out for the world....all my life goals are now on this central purpose....I just now need true friends to join the cause....it is worth everything...it is worth our lives...our destiny and our heritage....
