The Karma of Opposites
This Day I have learned not to read or think of yesterday. I will not hold onto my expectations toward or from others. I will not bind myself up with my own expectations of myself. All desire is to become void of want. Hope and acceptance walk side by side. Tomorrow is of no consequence to this present exhaling breath. Yesterday is of no consequence to this present inhale of my lungs. I am not able to change either. This life seeks control. Loss of control is considered failure. The life desired considers control to be failure. Acceptance of circumstance is the only required desire. To wrestle with myself in the darkness in search of eternal Peace is to deny Acceptance of the present moment. Peace realized is Acceptance embraced. The Karma of Opposites remains a mystery.

What day is this? What makes this day unique amid all the others? This is the only day we truly have in our immediate possession. Today is always The Day we are able to change our lives. Do not stand at the window and peer out at the world you see and say, ‘I hate my life’.
Rather stand at that same window and evoke the vision of the ever expanding universe and realize the thought: I am the sole and only entity with the ability to change or re-create myself anew.
Say to yourself; I am not bound by the chains of the past or the present or the future that circumstances have caused me to believe.
THERE IS NO DAY.
There is only this instant; this last exhale. If you happen to be able to inhale only once more in this time we call life, determine to use it to create your life anew.

In the dreamy early morning hours between half asleep and half awake, Stoa announced herself to me with a volume that sat me straight up in the bed. Her voice carried the command, “Wait for the next message”. These messages that have continued for a year now appear to be about Karma. The messages could be about most anything, but the thread seems to be Karma and humans.
That which we strive to attain must have a reason strong enough to encourage us to press onward. If unforseen situations cause us too much stress, the unprepared seeker will wax and wane with the moments. The original passion necessary to attain the goal will be lost.
In our mind of spirit, the desired goal must sit as though stone clearly defined and unchangeable in nature or content. The path must be straight forward aimed keenly at the mark. To expect the path to be smooth, soft and speedy is to be a naive novice. These simplistic expectations quickly lose the novice, the path and the passion.
Sit silently and long on the path considering the goal. Bring to center all your reasoning by securely establishing the purpose. Then begin the first step on the path.

I have not ‘blogged’ anything yet because I wish all this was named something else. Blog gives the feeling of heavy, cumbersome, fifth grade, or a slow moving juggernaut. Blog does not give the feeling of thought taking flight or writing the quintessential epic on the rise and fall of something or another.
Blog is just so Blah.
Having said all that, here goes.
NEW TITLE: Writers Write
What pulls your mind in the night? What thoughts plow new furrows in yesterday’s wishes? Where does your eye wonder that requires a camera strapped to your hip? Are there bits and pieces of paper all over your house and car with a few words, maybe only three? Does each scrap of scribbled unintelligible words have a tune? If I add do you hear voices in the night, then you know where I live 90% of my days and nights.
HELLO EARTH: STOA OF CAPERNA! Wait for the next Message!
That was May Day 2006. On July 10 came the sentence:
The Left Hand of Karma.
That was the beginning of what was to become my lesson in listening.
Page #1 will be tomorrow and thereafter for as long as I continue to listen.
