I wrote a flow today…It is my time where I let my words flow through me with no reason to control what comes out. Its a great place to be….

But before I talk about that, I want to share with you a poem I wrote the other day, that will fit in with what I wrote about…

This is for us who want to run, laugh, and play

For those who have forgotten we have so much more to say

There is beauty in the world we are living

Even at dark times it may seem unforgiving

It only takes twenty seconds of courage to start

For you’ll find all you need when you connect to your heart

It’s okay to be not okay as long as you aren’t settling for less than you are worth

Open your heart . Don’t stop the search.

I want to be free like a kid again. Those days when every decision I made was based on the notion of fun and nothing else mattered. Whatever happened to those days when fun in life was associated with getting muddy, scraping your knees, and getting lost in the discovery of the world?

As I watch my daughter grow, I am reminded not to pin my views of life on her creation of the world. I want her to discover life through her own set of rules that allows her to express her true voice and character. That is to say, I want to guide her in a healthy direction while showing that her voice will always matter.

I don’t know why I was thinking about this particular thing in life, but maybe it is because I am connecting with the lost boy who was caught in the middle of divorce many moons ago. I remember struggling as a young boy, and in my meditation today before this flow, I made a promise to myself to be done being someone I am not.

As I get closer to seeing my book come to life, I am becoming my book. It’s an interesting experience because there is a saying in Sanskrit “ tat tvam asi” which means, you are that or that you are. In essence, I am one with the experience I create. Writing a book is changing me, and it is not an easy thing to accept as I witness the separation of two selves.

That is why I like these Friday Flow entries. I am literally flowing with whatever is on my mind and trusting my creativity without trying to control the process. As such, I am in touch with my heart and the world becomes fun again.

This is about letting go of the parts of me despetaly trying to hold on. It’s about accepting who I am today. It’s cathartic, freeing, and beautiful to release the grip so I can fully show and be who I am with the gifts I have to offer.

Finding meaning in life is universal. If anything, I have come to understand much of what we seek directly correlates with our beliefs. Many of those beliefs come from an outdated system that forces us to believe and see only part of the equation. So we walk through our lives watching, surveying, and observing life through the viewpoint of others. Some of what we seek and believe is true, but we will steer towards the direction of only what we want to see for most of our lives.

Somewhere, we have lost our ability to be a kid again. As we grew up, responsibility came into our lives and suddenly things mattered a lot more. Well at least we think they do. More and more things come into our lives, and the idea of fun slips through like water in cupped hands.

But here is what I say..Life is full of adventure. The ups, downs, and parts of everything are what actually make it fun. Just like a kid trying to figure it all out. So I’m simply encouraging you to get in touch with being a kid again. We might have jobs, families and all these adulting things to do, but that doesn’t mean we can’t focus on making it fun in the process.

Much Love George
