Being real
It’s not so much the content
It’s the structure
The form
Where does it come from
The expression;
What’s real
Behind the meaning;
Look beyond,
Right here
It’s there you are;
It’s there it is 💗
~ M. L Adams
No rhythm without a pause
There’s no rhythm without a pause
No pause without rhythm
Life reflects back
That which you put in
All you have to do;
Is listen 💗
~ M. L Adams
The lesson of value
Why is it so often only when we lose something that we appreciate it’s real value, How can we begin to value things more before this point?
In my own experience I have come to realise how important some things are only when it was too late
Like life was somehow teaching me, here, look at what you already have;
Whether that be with money, friendships, support or even states of being,
And more than anything life teaches me how important gratitude is,
Perhaps this is why we need this duality in life, for without it how could we possibly know or appreciate those good things.
Additionally, this is why gratitude is so important, not only important but essential. In consistently practicing gratitude, we recognise the value here and now. Then not always needing the comparison.
Ultimately however it does come down to our choice of focus. We can see what we have or perceive what we don’t have and as part of nature what we consistently give energy to will increase.
Start with value;
Recognise all you are, all you already are, have done and are doing.
As beings of nature we naturally evolve. In keeping our focus on what we’re grateful for as well where we’re heading, then all will evolve in the right direction.
Most often where we are right now, we already have more than enough, and we always are of infinite value.
To truly value something
Is to be with it completely,
Giving every effort in that moment
With that;
The only answer,
Here and now
Can always be gratitude 💗
What matters
It’s never about the stuff
How others may think or judge
What matters is what’s in our heart
In how our actions show who we are
Not in who’s right or who’s wrong,
But in having love and gratitude,
No matter what 💗
~ M. L Adams
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stops me
Trains delayed
Pouring rain
Nothing stops me;
Watch me
I’ll be there
Making waves
No excuses stands in my way!
~ M. L Adams
Completeness
We are always evolving and adapting,
Nothing is ever stuck or stable
Life is flowing,
Flow with it;
As we learn we teach and as we teach we learn,
All is one , whole and complete 💗

Discipline and focus
Discipline and focus allow for effective learning and adaptability in flow. If not for the discipline and structure then focus is scattered. There is then a lack of awareness and therefore inability to adapt, flow and grow efficiently in practice.
The discipline and structure should be aligned accordingly in order to learn the next step and movement. The adaptability that comes with it allows for necessary training and new things to be learnt with the awareness to apply where most appropriate.
If the ego or prior knowledge gets in the way then there is lack of awareness and an inability to adapt and learn effectively.
Without sufficient respect for the teacher/ mentor nothing can actually be learnt. Because of this the whole mind should be emptied and full awareness applied each and every time one is being taught.
The teachers knowledge is rightly far beyond what the student knows, therefore full awareness, discipline, respect and focus is always required.
Sidenotes
– Emptying your cup allows for full focus
– Self discipline is essential in order to learn and execute fully
– Without full focus one cannot learn and execute fully
– With full focus can adapt accordingly- when something is not working then have the awareness to change it. To be like water, adapt and flow.
– Discipline also shows respect to the art and teacher, also clearing the mind allowing for learning.
I am
I am life expressed in all its completeness,
I am beauty, I am love;
I am nature
I am life expressed in all it’s is’ness
I am you,
I am me; I am everything
It is here and now you will see me,
Look around, look within,
I am here; I am everything 💗
~ M. L Adams
