Awaking, Rising, Sleeping, Setting

One awakes. One sleeps. 

One rises. One sets.  

Dawn and Dusk. 

Two separate but similar phenomenons. 

One signifies a beginning. The other...an end. 

But they aren't exclusive in meaning though.  Both are living and dying. Starting and stopping. 

A new day. A new night.  The lines are blurred...but their beauty is clear. 

Dawn and Dusk...Life and Death.  Joined at the hip.  Forever intertwined. One doesn't exist without the other.  There is joy and sadness in both.  

Take every last one in. 

Smile. Cry. Wish. Ponder. Love. 

Pure Wonderment. 

Life Can Get Muddy

 

You can learn more about life by getting a little muddy. 

We all know about the paridoxical magic of the Lotus flower. How something so beautiful is born through the muck and mess of the mud. 

It's time to dive into the muddy waters again. 

Alan Watts. A brilliant philosophical mind from the 40's, 50's, and 60's once said "muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.”

It's so true. 

If you think about it, most of the things that worry us in our lives are out of our control and should be just left alone because there's nothing you can do to affect it. 

Muddy water eventually clears up to reveal the aqua blue glow below if you let it be. 

Life can be similar. 

PS; You should also dive into the music of Muddy Waters. There are life lessons sewn into the fabric of lyrics and chords in every tune.
