Internal Dynasties

We are such emotional beings...some on a greater scale than others.  Amazing it is to know how something can crash a peaceful world, and cause a complete change in our demeanor.  In a tumultuous fashion, I watched two wonderful movies this weekend out of order, both vying for complete separate worlds.

First off, I took my kiddies to see 'Kung Fu Panda 2'.  It was so adorable, and graphically appealing, with a powerful message of inner peace.  Acknowledging and accepting your fate/destiny, and the here and now.  I will definitely purchase the movie when it comes out, and subliminally play it on their "bad" days.  However, I learned  while sitting there in that theater along with my children, that I am at peace.  Of course I get thrown off sometimes, but it never last long.  I understand that nothing is permanent, and to not waste energy or time on foolishness.

Needless to say, I had went outside of my romance and comedy genres and watched a psychological thriller, 'Black Swan'.  I actually had to perform self checks throughout the movie, and could no longer balance my inner peace.  I had been drawn into the world of craziness, and couldn't recall whether or not I had really climbed a mountain the day before, or maybe dreamed it.  I was fighting to survive the movie, that projected it's psychosis onto me, and I couldn't turn away.

A moment of inner peace, unbalanced by inner conflict...for a brief moment in time.    I suppose that I understand how some people get lost, and cannot differentiate between delusional and reality.  Too much going on, from past situations deeply embedded within the mind, brewing over time.  It's unfortunate that their inner turmoil can cause pain and suffering to others.  If only everyone knew how to connect to their inner self at an early age.

  **News Flash** Teach Tai Chi during P.E. **News Flash**

Not only is it mentally helpful, but it might teach little kiddies some self discipline at a broader scale, and not just private.  In fact,  I think I'll order some videos for my family :)

    I agree with teaching Tai Chi during P.E. class. I would also like to see more meditation done in schools too.

Silly twitter, tweets are for kids...and my enjoyment :)

Trending twitter topics are always interesting.  Answers from around the globe tickle my sides, and also cause full on belly laughter.  Currently one of them are #IveAlwaysWantedTo, to which the first one I seen was from: Evil_Dumbledore: #IveAlwaysWantedTo turn around in a big chair, and say "I've been expecting you..." Absolutely hilarious!  In fact, I'm going to do it at work tomorrow :).  So, what would my answer be?  I don't know.  I've done a lot in my life, and traveled all over, and had some pretty fun times...stuff that just kind of happened unexpected.  Also, I have done a lot on my life list that I created when I was eight; however, the last thing was to be president (not so much anymore).    Along with trending topics, you get to see the overall voice of people in general; which is to be accepted for who they are, and how they are viewed.  At times I have wished I could step outside of myself to see what other people see,...

Troll Feet

A week ago I received the keys to an apartment I have transferred to.  It took me four days to move everything from the old to the new.  I did have a beast of a friend who helped me out the first day (Friday) with my furniture, but for some reason it took three days for me to move the rest of my junk ten feet (the distance to my current apartment).  By the car load I transferred stuff, and it did not seem to make a difference.  In fact, I still have non perishable items in my car!  I just shift it around, to make way for the kiddies :)  However, back to the grueling past weekend.  Back and forth I drove and walked with arm loads and car loads of crap.  I wore flip flops, which were heard from 7 am to 11 pm, and bore the brunt of flat dry feet, that could have been mistaken for the soles of Frodo Baggins. On Saturday, somewhere during the upright state of the sun, and hottest part of the day, my daughter asks from the coolness of t...

Of Acquiescence and Patience

This past weekend, I took my kiddies on a nature walk at the National Wildlife Center .  We had not been in a while, and I decided to take them to see what interesting things occurs in nature following a rainfall.  The day was sunny, early and slightly hot...nonetheless, perfect.  We walked over a bridge, which was absent of water lilies or pads, and took note of the rise in the water level.  The gravel road seemed washed and remnants of a silt water path was still visible.  Eagerly, we walked to the trail that led into the trees. Along the woodland trail, we heard geese, seen herons, spiders and different types of mushrooms.  We continued to walk along the lake, as mosquitoes danced on us without biting, and everything seemed alive and wet.  When we turned around, Ari began to run ahead, and continued to pick up various sticks, until I noticed how one stick didn't seem too familiar up ahead.  As I yelled for her to stop, I looked at t...
