Seeing with The Eyes of the Heart


I wanted to share this wonderful excerpt from the book of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu called: "God Has A Dream". I am trying to make this part of my daily perception and understanding about life and others.

"We must learn to see with the eyes of God - that is, to see with eyes of the heart and not just the eyes of the head. The eyes of the heart are not concerned with appearances but with the essences, and as we cultivate these eyes we are able to learn from our suffering and to see the world with more loving, forgiving, humble, generous eyes".

Desmond Tutu
From the Book "God Has A Dream"

Caught Up at the Crossroads



I know I started off with my first entry only to leave this blog on some sort of hiatus. This was not due to a lack of inspired energy on my part; for my creative juices are continuously flowing. My inventive wheel is constantly in motion, even in my sleep. Thoughts often come to me in vivid dreams. Actually, it is often the reason for my bouts of insomnia. I often wake in the middle of the night feeling as if all ideas and strategies that come to me at that given moment must be implemented or set in motion or all momentum will be lost.

I diligently try to do my best to acquire the much needed beauty rest. However, my psyche refuses to give in and go with the flow of things. It often gets the best of me because one can actually over think situations to the point of immobility. I often end up spending too much time on the path to perfection which often leaves me at a crossroad trying to figure where to go next.

I’m truly tired of being at that crossroad (kind of like the final scene in the movie “Cast Away” with Tom Hanks) I want to do better at manifesting those ideas. I want to strategically accomplish all those steps and plans that are causing me many sleepless nights as well as a restless mind. All in all I have faith that the right formula will come to me. I hope to finally make it all happen one day, one day real soon. I will continue to take it one day at a time. I will do my best to stay rested and focused while on my personal pursuit to happiness. I will do my best to avoid getting caught up at the crossroads of life along the way.
