Search Bars

The search bar on your computer will most likely offer you billions of answers as you search.

You want answers? Good news is they’ve never been easier to find.

Then there’s the search bar in your soul. Unlike the billion answers offered at your fingertips above, this space will most likely yield a handful of beautiful questions from your questions as you explore its space.

We get our answers, but all too often we forget to explore the questions that are the sap oozing through our beings. Nevertheless, I’m quite certain, they don’t forget us.

If you’re bored, I would bet that you’ve got all your answers.

Organic

The heartbeat of the organic movement isn’t a new trendy idea.

The heart beat is just that…a move back to the heart of the matter and back to the beat that made the music possible in the first place. In other words, it’s a waltz back to our origins.

The proverbial cat is out of the bag and there’s only one party to blame – tampering.

So when it comes to all things: people, relationships, businesses, and, yes, even our foods, we are finding it’s best to let things happen as they may.

We shouldn’t be shocked that wheat without fertilizer taste better. But for some reason, we’ll trade flavor for more in most spaces.

And we shouldn’t be surprised when our relationships bloom with more color and aroma in native, natural soil with wind rain rather than moment to moment ‘miracle-gro’ at mentions and retweets.

Alas, “can we be friends?” may just be the only business model necessary in a world currently powered by spampaigns.

Have you ever noticed what the first two letters of best spells?

Availability

Right now.

Here.

It is available.

Whatever it is you need. It is available.

It is available within you. Have you looked there?

It is available between us. Are you willing to go there?

It is available around you. Will you allow mystery to show you its electricity?

Noise will make the available unavailable.

Silence and stillness will grant this availability.

There is more than enough and, as always, free refills.

What will your news be today?

You would be shocked if you knew how many knees were bent right now in prayer.

No doubt that thousands of poems are being typed and written right now.

Just a guess, but I would bet that over 1,000 times a minute today someone holds a door for someone with their hands full.

Ten billion thank you’s will be exchanged today. Easily.

I’m guessing that over 10,000 crossing guards this morning stopped traffic for lunch pale toting ducklings on their way to school.

Right now….right this very minute…thousands of chefs are preparing menus and dreaming in flavors for their Friday night guests.

If a billion cut roses are sold in the United States each year, that means that at least 31 buds per second are bursting in our universe today before they get to your vase. For your enjoyment, by the way.

And guess what? The sun pulled up over our horizon again this morning.

Here’s the catch of the day…once you learn to see it, you’ll see it everywhere.

See what?

Beauty. Benevolence. Whimsy. Hope. Thrill. Joy. Experience. Euphoria. Etc.

Breaking news! You’re the host of the today show.

Ineffective effectiveness

Palker J. Palmer teaches that the “the tighter we cling to effectiveness the smaller and smaller the tasks we will take on”.

In other words, you can’t white-knuckle happenstance, whimsy, change, and possibility.

Thank you, Parker.

We needed this brought to our attention.
