Sometimes, I'd like to come online, post a blog note with something powerful to say. But I don't have anything powerful to say. I've lost something of my spark this past week or so... not quite sure when it went offline. Did anyone pull a power cord they shouldn't have? Hmmm.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to buckle down and pay closer attention. Do you pay close attention to yourself? I don't think we pay close enough attention to ourselves. We're so busy trying to catch up, be a part of the crowd, wondering what other people think, that we forget to pay attention to the most important person in our lives: Our own self. How do you do that?

Oh... good question. Really good question. How do you pay attention to your self. Well, I have noticed that when I stopped trying so hard and slowed down long enough to pay attention, I began to notice something extraordinary going on in my mind. Yes, many conversations happening within the creative mind. Interesting, conflicting, fearful, worrying, funny, fantastical conversations with two to three sides. Ever notice that? I'm sure you have.

Here's the real kicker. When you can notice all these internal conversations that you're having with yourself, try to notice the quiet one. There is another part of self that sits and watches all this crap going on around it inside your mind. Who do you think that quiet one is? Really? Who? That's the spiritual you. The one that wishes you'd stop bickering with your self, your life, and stop listening to all the crap the outside world fed you. That is the one that wants you to trust you - that quiet you - the one that knows who you are and what you are here for.

How about that... not bad for having nothing to say.
