Prescience To A Birthday

Absolutely True,,
from the moment I woke up to the time I went to bed, so much magic happened that I dare say waking up today seems strange
like I lived so much in one day…
Well I suppose I could do a repeat.. tee hee..

Prescience To A Birthday belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, All Out Emotion, Core [C.O.R.E], Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), in-between, Light In The Darkness, Nirvana (Only 1 photographic art and 1 written work will be accepted per day ), THE DIVINE FEMININE, The Healing Journey, THE SISTERHOOD, Unconventional Artistry - 3 per day and Up & Coming Writers

The occasion is my birthday
And I felt the day before you could say a prescience
Of sorts
Morning meditation spoke clearly of Now
Daily activities seemed like stunning lessons on
My relationships to the Allness that is Me, Us.
And the parking spaces were always available by the entry way
Of every busy business I visited.

I smiled as if I knew this were always so
Free parking
Lots of space
Lots of opportunity to Be.

And when I was to go sailing on the open seas
That evening
In lieu I thought
Of my birthday tomorrow
I was told that afternoon that this would not be so,
I could not go.
And the funny thing was I let that go to
Immediately
The thought of what I was NOT going to do
That evening,
Took me too far away from this moment of Life
So I stayed right HERE
Where my point of attraction always resides
And I felt consumed by my connection to
THIS MOMENT
THIS MOMENT

I approached my evening without a care in the world
I felt the simple pleasure of
JOY
This joy was not manufactured by thinking,
It felt steady and even keeled and normal,
I kept myself feeling and connected to
What was happening right in front of me
And you know what?
My boss,
Who was the one that told me I could not go sailing on the sea
Came up to me as I was gloriously chopping onions and tomatoes
And said,
“I cannot go to where I was going,
So I can stay here and mind the store (as it were)
And you,
If you would like to sail,
Please by all means do.”

It was like those parking spaces all day,
I felt a knowing that this would indeed be so.
Even before it was so
I looked at him and I said,
“Tomorrow is my birthday and your
Universe seems to allow for all that I desire
Thank You.”

He smiled but I am not sure he knew just how to
Take that thought,
However, inside of him and all about him the real
HIM
Just chuckled

So I sailed yesterday
Straight into my life
The one that I had already been living so well.

    What a great lesson, Linaji. Hmm…Letting go and being in the moment. As I write this reply, the daily commute of preschoolers strolls by my brownstone. They wear their red smocks and hold onto a rope so as to not get separated from the group. My wife and I have come to refer to this procession as “The Train”. Their joyous chatter is contagious – and your wonderful story reminds me to be more like them. Thank you for sharing. This was just what I needed! Glorious Birthday for Linaji!

  • linaji replied

    Ry.. wow what a lovely lovely comment. It seems sometimes to say these things out loud and get a reply such as yours, tells me.. this does not have to be one day.. just with a little focus this can be yours everyday!! Thanks Back.. I love the vision you created.. now get that camera out and take a shot of that joyous Train!! xox

  • linaji replied

    Wow sweet.. I posted this 6 hours ago.. but forgot to press reply.. just knowing you had an awesome day!!! or night..hummm xoxoxoxoxo

    noooooooo HEY… THAT IS NOT FAIR!!! YOU AND I ARE ONE DAY APART!!! BUT.. YEARS SEEM TO SEPARATE…
    BUT NO.

    Kellie..
    you embark on a journey that has many meanings for you,
    as you experience a part of you that is usually saved for many of us till the
    end of our days
    I know you can feel and see that life is only Now..
    And your art embodies this Now with a firmness of Joy and passion
    I rarely see and feel
    but deep inside of me..there it is waiting

    Thank you for allowing us to journey with you
    the road of darkness and light
    for they are not separate
    nor are they different,
    contrast is the element of creation
    and you my dear friend
    Create with abandon and simplicity,
    Like each moment appears
    For each of us to decide,
    Shall we?
    Shall we just know that Now is enough.

    Much Much Love to you Sister
    and HAPPY HAPPY BIRTH DAY
    Linaji

    Sweet sister, I had no idea it was your birthday…...... I knew about Kellie’s and it was fabulous to be able to celebrate her beautiful existence, so now I can “belatedly” do the same for you! I celebrate your birth anniversary and the amazing walk (or is that dance) you have on this planet…...a work of art in progress…... Happy birthday dear Linaji!

  • linaji replied

    You are so not late!! I am sitting here after working from 7:30am to now 5:20pm… long day and so it is. I have just spent some time going over my feelings in others work and poetry and stopped back here at my bday central and see you have been here bring me a sunset outside your door.
    I can’t keep up with you! But now we can have that dance together. I am seeing someday we truly will. Sitting on your porch… do you have one? and we will sit and drink a cool drink and you will point over somewhere and tell me another wonderful story of how you manage it all!! thanks Wendy you stopping by means alot to me.. xoxo

    Have a wonderful birthday (as I know you will/did). Isn’t it strange that I baked a literary cake this morning, before I read your piece, haha. I always get the sense from your writing that joy and contentment are things that you have earned, rather than just been given as a right, and I think we appreciate them all the more when we’ve had to work hard for them :)

  • linaji replied

    SEEKER… thanks for your lovely comment and observation. I think the same holds for you too.. tee hee.. takes one to know one!!!! lol!!
    XOXOXO

    Clarkey.. as I get to know you I sense such an elegance and kindness from you and your yellow rose. I so love your gravitating towards your guitar and the opening of your rose!! Thanks so very much!

  • linaji replied

    Vous toujours savez quoi dire et votre moment est impeccable. J’ai une telle joie ces jours et c’est partiellement parce que vous m’avez introduit dans la chair via votre art stupéfiant, à ma nature éternelle de mon Est. Aussi vous avez un ami très attrayant que prend mon coeur pour le tour de c’est la vie. Comment je jamais peux vous rembourser mon très cher ?
