The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Only once every four years do we get this extra day. There are so many things we can do with an extra day. It is an additional twenty-four hours of possibility, potential, opportunity and all manner of positive things. We are all obsessed in this society with time. Linear time in particular. Because we all have schedules for our days we are constantly chasing time. Time to get out of bed. Time to eat breakfast. Time to go to work.
Today has not gone as planned. It has not gone badly, just not as I intended for it to go. What do you do when you have a plan or an intent for your day, or your week, or your year and it gets derailed? How can you still choose your path when you are clearly off of it? I have said more than once that sometimes the diversions on your path are actually where you need to go. Sometimes
Think before you speak. How many times have you heard or read this phrase? How many times has it been directed at you? I believe if more of us took the time to follow this idea, we would live in a world that is less divisive, less angry, less full of fear. All too often people just speak off the cuff. They don’t consider their words, they don’t care just how powerful they may be. Yes, I am very specifically
Find your happy place, and enjoy some time there. We all have them. That place that we get to where the world is perfect. That spot where we are in absolute contentment, feeling alive and whole and where time can just stand still and we feel as if might want to live there forever. That is your happy place. I think there are many different happy places for most people, but they are not just an abstract idea or a
I love you. This is the most powerful phrase in the world. It can lighten our step, it can change our mood, it can make our world better in ways beyond measure. I used to be terrified of this phrase. The implications behind it, the commitment, the expectations. I didn’t want to say it because I know that it can be ever changing, that it can be impermanent, and that it can be as destructive as it can be powerful.
How do I draw in more readers? I have now published four books. It began with the first year’s worth of Pathwalking, including some extra bits (which largely came from this blog). The second was Seeker: The Source Chronicles Book I. First in the fantasy series I’ve been working on now since 1998. Due to the nature of the story I targeted it not just to lovers of Fantasy, but to young adults. It is certainly no more violent than
I have never chosen the conventional path. Before I came up with the idea of Pathwalking, I still never managed to conform to any normal path. This goes back a long, long ways as I examine it. As a kid I was not like the other kids in a number of ways I read at a higher level, I came from one of at the time few single-parent homes. I never quite meshed with the religious community in which I
Despite working to maintain and promote positivity, sometimes depression is unavoidable. I know how this works. You put the energy and focus into maintaining a positive mindset, you use the many tools available to build positivity – and yet you still get sat upon by the black dog of depression. What do you do with that behemoth breathing in your face? Depression is not something to be denied or ignored. If you have depression, It is a part of your
Even when you are actively Pathwalking, there are responsibilities you cannot just ignore. I can imagine how some people may see the idea of Pathwalking as slacking. Choosing the thing you want to do over the things you should be doing – but that could not be further from the truth. There is still responsibility and accountability when it comes to Pathwalking. In fact, I could even argue that that is what it is all about. This week I am
