Just Accept It

It hits at the most unexpected time .. the urge to be there.  Wherever I may be when the feeling overwhelms me is always a place other than that place.  No matter how much I love or cherish the space I'm occupying at the  "Moment of Impact" this unforeseen entity rushes over my entire being with tsunami force, causing me to exhibit displays of uncharacteristically  bizarre behavior.  I suspect you all know the feeling.  I suspect you've experienced the same melancholy moments of wanting to be there.  ​

I've yet to determine what it is that triggers me .. what it is that institutes unrest regarding the present .. desire for that other reality .. pain for what is missing at this precise moment in time.  There are no obvious answers to the dilemma .. to the great frustration of wanting, but never completely fulfilling, whatever it is that needs filling up.

​                                      Endless Possibilities ... Places to Infinity ...

Is it the great joke of creation .. that we shall seek and seek and seek .. never being completely fulfilled or satisfied? 

​                                                                  I think not. 

It is a magnificent gift to all .. the "forever" given to each of us for exploration and personal growth.  The only joke is self imposed by those who fail to realize the magnitude of our communal gift from the Universe.

​When "it" hit me, not wanting to be amongst those who may chance being considered "self imposed jokes",  I hurriedly purchased a ticket to France.  Oddly, the melancholy is rapidly subsiding as the elusive answer presents itself ... whispering ...

​                                                               "Just accept It"

​                                                                     and I do ..

Bon voyage! Just take a deep breath, relax and enjoy being where ever you are. If you are in France, you will be in the right place! Thanks for the lovely flower (Photo). My best wishes.

Merci Cynthia ! I don't actually leave for a few months, but the ticket is "In Hand" .. a sure remedy for the blues! Best Wishes right back to you. Mahalo et Merci for being here! Bill

Cynthia .. that beautiful flower sits in the backyard of dear friends in France .. making the photo a beautiful reminder of a place and people I love .. half way 'round the world. Sometimes I wish I could snap my fingers and be there .. but that would take away the excitement and the stimulating "pain of separation". It is a beautiful life we are given. Aloha et à bientôt, Bill

I used to share your desire to be "there". At that time "there" was some place other than where I was. Now, "there" is "here" and "here" it stays.

I "here" you, Dad .. and I know you are quite happy "there". However, should you ever wish to be "there" vicariously through me, I am "here" for you. With Love, Bill

Bill, would this beautiful and special flower be a poppy? It reminds me of the poppies which my husband's grandmother grew in her flower bed that you could admire while sitting on her front porch. Those who walked along the road had only to look over her low hedge in order to enjoy the garden,too. ....nice memories! À la prochaine fois, Cynthia

Cynthia, I do believe that is a poppy, but please don't take my word as the "gospel" .. maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in and help us out in a definitive manner! I know it was blooming in May .. that's about all I can contribute to it's identification. B

Oh how our thoughts can hijack us. It is hard to stop the cycle at times but we can interrupt it. Taking a deep breath or buying a ticket to France, whatever we choose it will give us peace for now!

Karen, I must have the procedure down to a science then .. I always hold my breath when I buy a ticket ! "Peace for now" is such a telling phrase, and so true in relation to our whims, wants, needs, and desires. You are always so "right on the beam" .. I suspect the Yoga has a hand in that. Mahalo et Merci for your input and insight, Bill
