The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
It is never too late. You are only too old, too poor, too uneducated, too uninformed, too fat, too short, too little or too much if you believe it to be true. So, too, is the concept of being too late untrue. Time is only an illusion. Our perception of time is frequently shifting, changing, and though we look to clocks and calendars, we see and feel it to be fluid and unexpected. Ever notice how there are times when
Sometimes you just need to escape from it all. There are times when you feel so overwhelmed, you just need to get away, escape from your life, escape from your routines, and try something different. As you are reading this, I am on a vacation in a place I have never been to before, with the medieval reenactment society I have played with for over twenty-five years now. Yet the majority of the people I will be with will not
The future is not yet written. This is one of the most amazing, positive truths we can face. Why? Because it means that everything is still negotiable, and that even if we find ourselves on a less-than-desirable course, we can change it. It is easy to get caught up in believing that the future is set in stone. Lots of people work very hard to sell you on the notion that there are limited possibilities for the future, and that
New day, new way. No matter how I am feeling about what lies ahead of me, I know that this is a new day, and no matter what I have coming to me, there is always a new way. It is so very easy to get caught up in routine. There is often comfort in our routine, which I think is part of why we as a species are so fond of maintaining status quo and continuing through certain patterns
What makes you smile? What can you look at, listen to, or read that puts a smile on your face? Is there anyone you can speak with who can make you laugh and smile, someone who has that effect on you? We all need to take some time to seek out sources of light and laughter. We all need to find and enjoy things that make us smile. We are living in a world where fear and anger and terror
Are you concerned about the actions President Trump is taking? Do you worry about his possible conflicts of interest, and his ties to Russia, and their hacking of our electoral system? Are you worried about the apparent instability of President Trump, and his unpredictability, utter lack of tact and decorum, and total disregard of protocol? Are you concerned about the choices he’s made for his cabinet? If you answered yes to ANY of these question – it is time
I am. Sometimes that’s all it takes to find a positive. Just acknowledging that I AM. Life happens. Whether I am having a good day or a bad day, the important part is that I am having a day. I am here. I am alive. I am breathing. I have possibilities for my present and my future, and I AM. It is tremendously easy to lose sight of this. We get caught up in our own mundane issues, whether that
People are coming together to help one another. In the face of difficult times, massive uncertainty, and some scary people assuming power, people are coming together to work with one another to show the world that we will not be intimidated. Whether the topic is education, science, the environment, awful business practices, general politics, LGBTQ rights, separation of church and state or what-have-you, people are coming together like never before to stand up for the things they believe in. They
Truth. Most of you reading this know it already. Those who most need to see this, to fundamentally understand it for what it is, probably won’t. And even if they did, they would likely dismiss this as liberal bullshit, or some such. Mexicans are not pouring across our border as though the dam is broken. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Illegal immigrants are not everywhere, and taking your jobs! This is simply a great big lie. Refugees are
Resistance is not futile. But, remember, Carl Jung pointed out that “What you resist persists.” We need to stand up to the wrongs we see happening, yes. We cannot ignore the bizarre, freaky, frightening things coming from the top of the US government. BUT – we also cannot let these things control our lives completely. We need to focus instead on changing the conversation. Resistance is not futile, but we need to step back from a negative reaction, and try
