“In the midst of our lives, we must find the magic that makes our souls soar”
~Evelyn Beilenson
We must remember that what we see is mostly a perspective, a position taken based upon an idea. There are as many meaningful perspectives as there are sentient minds. Perspectives are meaningful inasmuch as they are suited for the purpose at hand.
Ideas, a perspective taken on something that matters, have the power to change the way we see what is, and how we act upon that perspective. Time is one such idea, and as we've already seen time marks change, and we can change time at will. Our ideas matter. Our ideas can change. We can change.
Remember, there is nothing inherently magical or transcendent about the changing of time, at the stroke of midnight, that ushers in a new day, a new year, or a new millenium. Our thinking makes it so. Our thinking makes it so, because our thoughts have power. We can thoughtfully use our power to reflect on the events and experience we shared in 2011, our triumphs and our struggles, the rewards and disappointments. We can dare to challenge assumptions, and see what is. We can accept consequences, and change at will. We can declare new intentions, and expect results. And we can be gentle to ourselves in doing so.
Twenty-twelve, 2012: let us be ready to be transcendent in the coming year. Let is be ready to accept all the good coming our way, and let us be ready to be gracious in dealing with the consequences of our choices. Let us be ready to change our challenges for the better, and make the best of our good.
May 2012 be all that you declare it to be, with good for all concerned. Happy New Year!
