Just Being

The word Be-ing makes me think of the action of my essence, coming forth into the moment. If I am Be-ing I can no longer be tranquilized into inaction by my future or imprisoned by my past. Be-ing allows me to just be in the now. What a concept. Just being. How sweet life can be and is when I connect and am aware of the inner me. How clear life can be when I can be still know. The overachiever is saying what do you mean being tranquilized into inaction by my future? The worry hog is saying what do you mean being imprisoned by my past? The busy body is saying what do you mean there’s clarity in stillness? I can feel your thoughts as I paint these words on this page. When I am settled into an overachieving mindset it often keeps me in a futuristic mode and yes I’ve accomplished many external things that way, but it cripples me from acting in the now. When I am constantly cognicent of my past it imprisons me and stifles creativity. The now is feared because I say well I am just be cautious or prudent or don’t want the past to repeat itself. The reality is you never left the past and you are being robbed of the thought of Be-ing in the now. Being busy is like a drug and w all know drugs can be ab-used. Busy-ness is like your sun-block from the now, your escape from the moment and ultimately your get-a-way from YOU. Worry, overachieving, busy-bodiness on a consistent basis robs you of the only true promise which is now. The world is being robbed of the opportunity of experiencing YOU Just Be-ing. You with fulfillment, love, peace, joy, laughter, purpose and acceptance. You being connected with you right now. Just Being can end the mental pain. Just being removes fear. Just being is reality. Just being is complete.

“WHERE I WANT TO BE”

As I sit on the beach pondering on a sentence from Russell Simmon’s “Do You” book, the end of it leaped off the page at me. I asked myself the question “Where do I want to be?”, not in the future but right now in my mind and spirit? The answer is free. I never thought about where I want to be in this moment, I’ve always thought of it futuristically. I wonder if there are others like me, who allow the future to rob them of today. No more, I say it truly feels good to appreciate & love this day. I have a choice, I get a say in how I feel & view today. I may not have all the material things I desire, but I can certainly experience the state of being where I want to be, today. Where I want to be is available to me, right now in this moment. The inner peace, unconditional love, sustainable joy & freedom from my own mental prison is within reach today as it has always been. Today I am finally where I want to be & so can you, just open your eyes & see!

Thirsty @ thirty

Thirsty @ thirty
By SL Wells
Will my thirst for authenticity ever be quenched?
Will the anger inside ever subside?
Will the river of my depth ever flow again?
Will patience ever find me?
Will the flavor of life ever return to my mouth?
Will I ever taste the sweet nectar of true romantic love?
Will my inner beauty ever be desired?
Will my help ever connect with a true need?
Will my supply ever reach its demand?
Will the cloud of bitterness ever pass away from me?
Will my joy become visible?
Will bodies and minds stop surrendering to lust?
Will common sense ever make a come back?
Will the beauty of NOW ever be discovered?
Will the promise of the future ever be realized?
Will freedom reach my finances and time?
Will connection ever intersect my soul?
Will forgiveness ever reach the surface?
My thirties are full of so much discovery…
Hit me back and let me know what you think and tell me about your thirst???

REST IN YOUR TRUST

Though he slay me yet will I trust him

Job's words help me sleep at night

I know the plans I have for you , plans for good not for disaster

That account from Jeremiah gives me peace to arise

He will never leave me nor forsake me

David's account of this helps me to stand

The race is not given to the swift or strong, but he who endures

Paul's words help to keep me moving forward

I know my sheep & my sheep know me, no one can pluck them out of my hand

This word from Jesus reassures & gives me the confidence I need

God's home is now amongst his people & he shall be with them & they will be his people

This angelic account gives me the Joy I need to stay in this race until I finish my course

Now, I can rest in trust.
