Home ... Is Calling


 Home

 I recently took a trip home, which is Tennessee, and I gained some awareness, as is the norm for trips like these for me. 

 Since I have been in the midwest, I have felt "out of sorts" for some time, which was originally odd for me, as it's the place I was raised. But, when I started to miss "my mountains", I knew something was off. 

Missing A Place

I never thought that I would move away from an area I've lived in, and started to miss it. Not people mind you, but the area itself. The forest, and the "hills" and trees which make up the mountain scenery. For reference, as a former Marine, I have literally lived all over the place. Several states here in the U.S., in Iraq for some time, and I called the middle east home for about 8 months during Desert Storm. 

So, moving away from a place and suddenly "missing" it was new to me. However, that's exactly what happened, and now I am looking forward to moving back to the Smokey Mountains to stay. 

Find Your Home

I have to say that if you happen to feel "out of place", as I have most of my life, you owe it to yourself to follow your "intuition", if you believe in that sort of thing, or "divine guidance", whatever you want to call it, to find your home while you're here in this 3D realm. I promise, once you find it, you'll know. 

I was only able to gain this realization through my moving to the Midwest area, and experiencing just how unhappy I began to feel. Ever since I have been here, I have felt frustrated, and somewhat sad that I could not go for a hike on my favorite trail, or go visit one of the attractions in a local area, which is impossible to do here. When I visited TN a few weeks ago, it was like a breath of fresh air had been given to me, and I finally knew where I belonged. 

Do Some Traveling

If your in a place right now in your life that you feel "stuck", or "trapped", I invite you to do some traveling. Go visit some of the areas that you have always dreamt about going to. regardless of where it is on the globe. You may just end up finding your home, and choose to move there. 

Happy travels, and thanks again for your support.

Hind Sight


 Taking Perspective

 

   Looking At The Path Behind Me

    I have spent the past almost seven months now in the midwest, because I was moved here for a job, which I no longer have. Being here, and needing to navigate the path I am on, has been overwhelming, stressful, and challenging all at the same time. I am usually pretty good at paying attention to my intuition, but even though I believed I was being led to come here, it really was not the next right step for me to take. Additionally, I am still dealing with my loss, and trying to work through that. There is an old saying.. "Hind Sight Is Always 20/20". I am not sure if I totally agree with that, but knowing what I know now, and seeing how this move has been overly stressful, and not supportive, leads me to believe that as long as I pay attention to  my hind sight, I will learn the lesson that I need to. 

  

   Still Planning On Going "Home" 

    As I plan on moving back to wear I moved up from, I am facing new challenges of a unique kind in finding a job, and a place to live in the area that I want to one day settle down in. I am confident that I will get this task completed, but not sure exactly how long it will take to get back. I don't have any desire to remain where I am currently staying, but I know that everything happens for a reason, and it usually happens in "divine timing" which I like to believe is perfect. However, as human nature goes, I am anxious and ready to be back "home" in the mountains, and enjoying all that that affords me to do. Once I get back, I don't plan to uproot myself again, unless something extremely important happens on my path. However, I will do all I can to take it one step at a time. 

 

    Not Happy

    The longer I stay in the area I am currently in, the more "empty", and numb I seem to feel. I'm not sure if it's being in the geographical location, or dealing with my life circumstances as they continue to unfold. All I can do is trust the process and make the choices I want to when opportunities present themselves. 

 

    That's all I have for this time. Until next time, remember to be true to yourself, and trust your intuition. It will never steer you wrong.

                                Grieving Again

 

Time to heal some more

It has been two years and almost four months now since I lost my buddy, and I am still healing. I did find a "new" cat that I took on for about a year, but, I surrendered her today to the local shelter because I am still not ready. I originally took her because she looked exactly like the Christed Buddha. But, she wasn't him, and that took me a little while to learn. So, now I am alone again, and I am not looking for another kitty until I have fully grieved and really feel I am ready for another pet. 

 

Working on getting back "home"

Also, I am now living in the Midwest part of the country, and as they say hind sight is always 20/20, I am now seeing that the move was one of the worst decisions I have made as of late. My intent was to be closer to family, but that "reason" didn't pan out like I thought it would. 

 

Stay tuned

So, that's about all I had to say this time, and I will do what I can to post again soon. My intent is to get back to the south as soon as I can, but it is proving more challenging then I thought it would be. However, I will continue my forward movement.

Until next time,

Infinit possibilities

 

It's been some time since I have blogged about anything, so I wanted to take a moment and post something up.


Lots of change

There has been a huge amount going on in my life as of late. After I graduated college, I was looking for a job in my field, which I found in another state. So, I had to move across half the country to obtain this position, only to later on loose it. Needless to say, it has been a trying time for me in this new place, alone, and with no support. 


Change, the universal constant

After moving, change continued to be in my field, and impact my life. Yes, I lost my job that I moved all the way across half the country for, but was I brought all this way for just a job? I don't know the answer to that question yet. Slowly, I am starting to build my support network here, and I am meeting new people, and obtaining new employment. All that said, at this current moment in time, I am still planning to move "back home" close to the place I came from. While things are continuing to change, I am starting to practice some of my other talents such as photography. So, it's an interesting time in my life for sure. 


One step at a time

I am constantly trying to do my best to take things one step at a time. Most of the time, I am frustrated about the feeling of being "stuck" in a place I don't know, and don't have a large support system set up, but if I keep moving forward one step at a time, I am confident things will start to come together eventually. 


Still suffering loss

I am still dealing with my loss from time to time, and I get sad thinking about not having my buddy by my side any longer, but I know one day we will be reunited and everything will be balanced once again. For now, I take it one day at a time, and do my best to move that loss energy as I'm able. 


Until next time

I guess that's it for now. Thank you again for following me, and reading my blog. If I can remember, I will do my best to start posting on a regular basis again, and update as things continue to unfold on this new path I'm on.

Coming to terms

 


As I continue to walk the path I am on, I'm still coming to terms with my life, the way the world currently is, and how I can integrate everything I have experienced in the past year plus into this moment. 


Do what I can to be in this moment

Learning to let go, and just be in the moment is something I have practiced for some time now, and suffering a loss, or experiencing a major issue in life has a way of "derailing" one from continuing on the path that they have known. As I have wrote about since I started this blog, I have went through loss, and then I have also had to endure the propaganda that has been put out by the military industrial complex, and try to remain balanced. Obviously this is very challenging, and most times unattainable. 


Learning to be in the flow

As I have taken in all of these experiences, I have done what I can to cope with life, and the way the world currently is. As you can surely expect, being in a place of acceptance, and non-action is not an easy place to be with the world as it is right now. I can recall about something that Bruce Lee said once in an interview. He was asked about how he was able to do some of the things that he did in life, with his body, and what that "looked like". He commented on water, and I quote "water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend". Learning to flow with life is a life long endeavor which most will never master, but from time to time, being "in the flow" does happen. I try my best to be in the flow of my life, and allow experiences to unfold as they happen. However, again, it can be challenging. 

 

Until next time, be like water my friend.

A poem for you to ponder

 

I have written a poem for you to take in. It's written with the intent to help awaken, but not specifically with that purpose in mind. 

Feel free to comment, as always. 

D


The Place We’re In


Remembering the days of happiness and glee,

wandering the world without a care and free


Seeing the zombies all around me believing the lies, 

not understanding why they don’t wake up and see the truth with their own eyes


Our elected officials spewing out “mandates” left and right, 

fully understanding the fear they are pushing will affect most of the populace day and night


Those of us fully awakened to the propaganda machine knowing what’s to come, 

sitting, waiting, anticipating all the lies coming to light, like a blade of grass in the mid day sun


No more hugging, no more kissing, no movies for you

says the military industrial complex manipulators until their face turns blue


Humanity slowly waking up to what has always been right in front of them to see,

some unable to handle to truth, as it’s so evil and unbelievable in a world that’s supposed to be free


War drums being pounded on by the patriots to help the awakening come about,

waiting for the systems puppets to have had enough and become strong and stout


Seeing truth being uncovered in the “news” one little piece at a time,

doing my best to trust the plan like we’ve been told while we hold the line


Inch by inch it seems the lies and corruption are being uncovered,

the deep state doing all they can to keep the truth from being discovered


As Yoda once said in one of the famous movies he was in,

pain leads to suffering” but in the end justice will win


So, as we stand by and watch the clown show on the zombie box unfold,

just know that everything is happening exactly as you have been told.

Update and current status

 

So, it's been some time since I have posted anything on here for many reasons. Mainly because I am now employed, and my time is occupied by my job. But, I thought it would be a good idea to write an update as to where I am now, and how things are currently going. 

As of this writing, the world, not just one country, or municipality, is still under the belief that there is a "pandemic" happening, and that it's the worst thing since the black plague, which of course is 100% horse shit! There is more then enough evidence to prove that we are NOT in a pandemic, and that people are not actually dying from what the propaganda being spouted by the main stream media is claiming. If you are new to my blog, feel free to go back a few to review all of the information that I have shared about this propaganda. 

It is also 2021, and still no flying cars, like in the Jetsons. Also the U.S. is now under the siege of a dictator like regime that has illegally and unconstitutionally occupied the white house. The presidential election of 2021 will go down in history as one of the most corrupt, and fraud laden "elections" ever to have taken place. It wasn't actually an election as much as a stealing of the presidential office. There has been more then enough evidence, and documented information shown to prove that election fraud happened without a doubt, but again, the populace of this country have been trained to such a degree to believe what the main stream media says as "truth" that they don't even question anything that comes out of the bought and paid for "news" propaganda machine any more. It's actually a very sad time for this country, and this planet right now because of all the corruption being allowed to continue to grow and fester. It sickens me, as an old Marine, sworn to protect the constitution of this country from ALL enemies foreign and domestic. All I can do now is continue to be steadfast, and stand in the truth and patriotic faith that I have that everything will work out in the end. 

On a personal note, I am doing somewhat better with processing my loss. I am still dealing with grief from time to time, but I am feeling better, for the most part. I have not rescued another cat yet, as I intend to move, but I'm feeling better about the idea of having a new little buddy in my life.

I guess that's about all I have for now. Until next time, I will leave you with this quote. 

"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson
