It’s amazing in just a moment, everything we can come to know. Sometimes the amazing thing about that, IN JUST A MOMENT it’s not what we come to it is what comes to us and teaches us what we need to know for THE MOMENT in just a moment and here’s a perfect example:
We can go from NO to SLOW to FLOW and most ultimately to GO and then we realize we’re more unlimited than we ever have imagined and in just a moment, we become even more so. . . .

JUST A MOMENT: WHEN SPENT TAKES ON A NEW MEANING
In just a moment, so many things can take place; like in just a moment you can feel like you’ve really been spent or or discarded or unnoticed or actually walked over and yes, sometimes even walked on and yet you could take that same experience and you have a totally different feeling. You know what the difference is, what you take or what you receive or what you give.
The next time you feel totally spent, I mean discarded, walked on or over, flip it over make that new one just by GIVING; even if it’s giving a new perspective. . .
BE the message. Someone desperately needs to find or stumble on today. Let them find YOU where they least expect it and most need it.
YOU have that power
YOU. HAVE. THAT. POWER.
JUST A MOMENT: FLYING YOUR PRAYER FLAG
FIRST SOME INFORMATION. . .THEN A QUESTION. . .
INFORMATION:
Tibetan meditation flags, also known as Lung Ta or “Wind Horse” flags, are colorful fabric banners inscribed with prayers, mantras, and auspicious symbols. They originated in Tibet and are used to promote peace, harmony, and balance in the environment.
The flags typically feature five colors, each representing an element:
– Blue: sky or space
– White: air or wind
– Red: fire
– Green: water
– Yellow: earth
These colors are believed to balance the energies in the environment and bring harmony to the surroundings. The flags are usually printed with mantras, prayers, and symbols, such as the Wind Horse, which is said to carry prayers to the heavens on the wind.
When hung outdoors, the flags are exposed to the elements, and the wind is believed to carry the prayers and blessings to all sentient beings. Tibetans often hang these flags near monasteries, temples, and mountain passes, and they are an integral part of Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
The purpose of Tibetan meditation flags is multifaceted:
– To bring peace and harmony to the environment
– To promote positive energies and balance
– To send prayers and blessings to all sentient beings
– To connect with the natural world and the elements
Overall, Tibetan meditation flags are a beautiful and meaningful way to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and positivity in daily life.
Q U E S T I O N:
IF YOU HAD A PERSONAL PRAYER FLAG. . .
WHAT WOULD IT SAY AND
WOULD YOU FLY IT. . . ?

LOVE RETURNS IN ANOTHER WAY
Does Love ever go away
or is like waves of an ocean
DIFFERENT
BUT KEEP RETURNING IN OTHER WAYS. . . ?
I often tell the following story in my presentation: HOLDING SPACE: WALKING EACH OTHER HOME. It’s from my not so favorite author, Franz Kafka. I HAD to read him, as an English major in college and never much enjoyed or fully appreciated him. However, when three different people, who don’t know each other, asked me about this story within a week’s time, I decided to share it once again, IN A DIFFERENT WAY though I have previously shared it before in a blog post in ANOTHER WAY:
At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.
Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.”
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life.
During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.
“It doesn’t look like my doll at all,” said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: “my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home.
A year later Kafka died.
Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
“Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”
