Mountain Climbing

"for every mountain, you've brought me over;

for every trial, you've seen me through;

for every blessing, Hallelujah;

for this I give you praise."

Perfect radiation arising in simple experiences

is usually when people praise.

When goodness is radiating through their hemisphere,

when perfection is rising up through every experience,

the praise is there.

But, what happens when we are down?

What happens when we hit a mudslide and roll down the hill?

What happens when we trip over a rock and tumble down the mountain?

What happens when we experience life?

WE LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH.

We live: meaningfully, joyfully and truthfully.

We love: selflessly, kindly, and infinitely.

We laugh: whole-heartedly, robustly, and truly.

In life, if things were perfect we would be in heaven on earth.

But, if we never went through hell, we wouldnt truly be thankful for the heaven that we reach.

It's like we are not spoiled.

We are not spoiled because we do not get everything we want (perfect lives).

But, we are blessed, because we are able to walk down paths not knowing where they will take us.

We are blessed because we get to travel without roadmaps.

Sure, we hit some traffic, construction... even accidents.

But, we are even more blessed because God slowed us down by the accident,

we werent in the accident.

We are blessed because God slowed us down with the traffic, but didn't close the route.

We are blessed because we are able to see the new construction people are doing.

Long story short, we are climbing a mountain ...

Its like life is our stairway to heaven.

With every step we take,

with every spiral we have,

with every missing brick,

whatever the issues are in the staircase -

we make it through.

Keep on living, because when you begin to exist you have plateaued.

There is no need to plateau in your awesomeness,

keep growing and making it the best mountain climb imaginable.

We do well together
But, that's just it -
it's us, doing well for us.
We don't have the influence of others,
we dont ask people to help us work,
we just do us, and us, works.

With each layer, we get a little closer
and a little happier.

I like to say its God speaking to us.

At the point that we might be comfortable,
He reveals that next thing that makes our hearts smile.
To me, love is like wlaking through air -
not something that should be forced.
And, just when you remember you are breathing,
there is that little surprise that takes your breath away.

*heart.smile*
its time to breathe again,
and for some,
breathe - for the first time.

ahava.
