Reconnection

A confession: I’ve been playing a not so happy game of hide and seek this last month.  For some reason, the song “My Favorite Things,” from The Sound of Music keeps coming up whenever I try and explain it.

Remember that one?

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

Instead of making time for my favorite things:  spiritual reading, meditation, exercise, contemplation, I’ve been throwing myself into a world of imitation things.

When not at work or watcing my son, I admit it.  I’m a research hound… If I’m not investigating the best exercises, facial machines, vegan nutrition, the most comfortable flats on Zappos… geez, then what *am* I doing?!

Well… For one, not being present.  Not noticing the sun kissing my face, the wind spiraling through my hair.  Caught up in trivia, I’ve missed the pure bliss of being… of LIFE.

So here’s to honoring reconnection above all my other “favorite things.”  To finding my way again…

What are your favorite things dear readers?  What helps you reconnect when life gets crazy?

Reinvention

                                          
Reinvention has been ..like that elusive lover
whom i want to touch and befriend
but all i do is hide for cover
not letting the illusion end

Is reinvention a dream?
or something tangible?
..is the thought i have

Is selfloving reinvention possible?
Am i worthy of more?
..is the thought i have
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

What reinvention story are you impressed with, dear reader?

When i think of a reinvention  story                                              
Most visible to me is that of Swiper the fox
Who?
Yes..
A cartoon character
at Dora the Explorer
 

Why the fox?

He started out as a meany .                                                   
He would swipe Dora’s stuff away!
And either Dora had to search for it
or run him off by saying
‘ swiper , no swiping’
But now we are seeing a change!
He is developing conscience!
 

 

 

 

In Dora and three little pigs                                                                                                                                              

He realizes that he should not have swiped
stuff from story book village
and..
returns them!!!

 

 

In Dora saves the mermaids    

He understands when Dora explains
why not to swipe the crown
He even helps by swiping garbage
off a whales’ eyes

 

 

People can spend a life in prison and still never develop a conscience… here a cartoon character has found the way.  Kudos to the Dora creators for thinking of doing this.  Its very inspiring.
