Living in harmony

"Peace comes not from the absence of conflict, but from the ability to cope with it."

-- Unknown Source

Angeles Arrien says that life will be simple if we follow the four-fold way counselled by indigenous peoples:

1. Show up, being present with all four mental, emotional, physical and spiritual intelligences.

2. Pay attention to what has heart and meaning.

3. Tell the truth without blame or judgment.

4. Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome.

"Peace is not won by those who fiercely guard their differences, but by those who with open minds and hearts seek out connections."

-- Katherine Paterson
Today has been a day filled with harmony. I have been given a beautiful day with my #1 man...Nikkii. His spirit is so contagious, warm and playful. It's been a day of mild temps, bright sun, loud music, hat wars, manwiches and rollercoaster's. Nikkii has taught me so much about the little things in this life and how to make the most of any given moment that may come along. I live for days like this...I realize there is little I want for and all I need has been given to me in such a large fulfilling way that it becomes overwhelming to feel it all. I thank God for letting me have such a beautiful soul in my life to always love and care for. Thanks Nik for sharing the song of your soul with me today.
