One Rare Bird

For Your Enjoyment

There's nothing like a hilarious video that leaves you laughing for days. These videos are so great and deserve to be passed around for everyone's enjoyment. The first video was sent to me by a friend on Facebook, the second video was brought to my attention by a co-worker (I especially love minute 1:59), and the third video...I don't know where I found it, and it's not exactly funny, but it makes me very happy and extremely uncomfortable at the same time. Enjoy!

My Word for the Year: PEACE

I've spent a lot of time these past several years working out many things in my life, both internally and externally; and I am glad for all the changes and growth that's occured during that time, but I feel like maybe I've been waiting for something. Waiting to live my life perhaps? Or maybe waiting to get all my ducks in a row before I can start really living my life? I don't know, but I do know it doesn't feel good. And it turns out there's nothing to wait for. Life is here. It's happening. I can either let it wash over me and go peacefully, or I can continue to wait for...for...nothing. It's time to let life sweep me away. It's time to be at peace.

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.
...live in the question.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”  ― Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

“You were born a child of light’s wonderful secret— you return to the beauty you have always been.”
― Aberjhani, Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black

“Peace is not a result inside us from everything around us. Peace is not submissive nor passive. On the contrary, peace is an overwhelming force which comes from within us, disrespectful of everything around us, a firm coalition of spirit and soul standing against all the unrest that abounds.”
― C. JoyBell C.

*The images I used are some of my favorites from 2012. Each one depicts a moment where I felt comepletley present and at peace.
