Ancient Yes and the Everlasting Arms of Now
Here is what poured out of the French Press of my morning ponderings.
It is shared as a diamond in the rough, newly emerged and unedited.
Take what you like and leave the rest.
Love-n-hugs
Paula
When you love someone- yourself or someone else- make sure to love them right now right here, as.they.are in this moment.
If you try to love someone for who you know they can be,
you are loving a dream- not them.
If you love them for who they were... Well, same story, different verse.
Love is present tense. Lovers live in the now because they know that is all that is.
That is the only place we can find each other.
Love not a memory or a dream. Love is for Now.
Forever is a perpetual series of Now.
The lovers who have spent years together do so by saying Yes right Now over and over again.
It is the only way.
Say yes to love. Say it over and over.
Meet your beloved in this present moment and you will grow together through a tangled vine of ancient Yes's that stretch toward eternity while remaining rooted in the everlasting arms of the present.

Running along now
Maybe I should rename the blog "Running alongside streams and rivers".
You see, I am preparing to run my first half marathon.
I am going to be running more and more often that I have ever done.
Quite close to my house runs a cute, little stream.
Not far past that runs the mighty Mississippi river.
So the bright side of this is that I will always have a running partner...
Get it? haha
Training starts immediately.
What have I done? I am half panicked, half "laisser faire"
(mutters obsenity). No. It's mostly panic.
Why oh why have I set this goal, you ask?
Believe it or not, the biggest reason is not fitness.
I am trying to bring my old "go-getter" self back from where ever in the heck it went.
Is this part of me dead? Inconceivable.
In a coma? Maaaaaybe.
So it is make-it or break-it time, Paula.
I wonder, who will root for me...
Will you?
(broad smile) Why, thank you very much.
I promise you that I will really appreciate every bit of encouragement I get!
Well, I better be "running along now"
