Life without

I could take life without a spoon, an Xbox, a smartphone, the internet, yeah I really did say that as I am publishing another blog on it, I could always publish it old school as say a paper. Much of what the world holds up as important, I and you could do without. In fact, we’d be better off without.

I couldn’t live without art, music, people, nature, books, and most of all love. Imagine a world without any pictures or music. Even more, imagine a life without having love, there is no life. Yet the world is filled with hate and for example, the arts considered as a waste of time. Now, miraculously, healthcare specialists finally waking up to the benefits to our mental and physical health of being in nature, wow what a revelation eh!

Strange how much not having the internet seems to stress the whole world out more than say, not having time to appreciate art or being loving towards each other. Hate is the norm, but we could all do without it.

More light

The clocks have gone forward for summer time in the UK and many of us are still wondering how on earth we can remember how to change the clock on the cooker.

Every day in the Northern hemisphere it is going to be lighter for longer until the Summer Solstice and then the days shorten again.

Life can be like that if we allow it, light and darker days, depending on our mindset and reactions.

There is another choice, allow light to be there even when the days are dark. We all have a light inside us and a place of peace and calm that we can access by being present in the moment that is now and away from the dark thoughts that the mind can produce.

Stillness can be there no matter how light or dark your days are. Over time, more light comes every day whether it is summer or not.
