Glory From A Window Seat

There is beauty in the elements, earth and ethereal awesomeness in the skies. I never thought I could look out the window and feel so connected and in touch with cotton candy clouds. There is just splendour and magnificence in looking at the works our Creator has made. Man was made to have communion with the environment. It speaks to our consciousness, artistic minds and the humanity of our being. The amount of awe and wonder as I wonder can never be put into words. We venture in sacred spaces and it speaks to us that as man we have the great responsibility of stewardship for the environment. It's glory is always a sight to behold.

Moving or making changes in life is never easy. In our hearts, we have stored many hopes and dreams. To sit on a pavement on a Jamaican Sunday afternoon and dream dreams of a future with love, hope and lots of joy was a reflective pass time. This is the future..it is my time...It is what I would tell my present self. The sunset of our youth fades and disappears in the twinkling of an eye. Dream big! Be fierce and fearless!

It is said that silent water is actually deep. Things aren't actually how they appear on the surface. So too in our waking life. People see us in living colour but they have no idea what you may be going through. Your physical being is present in their presence but your thoughts are hidden and buried in the middle of St. Nowhere. Sometimes, we think to ourselves that if the other person only knew what we are going through. There is no reason to keep it to ourselves and fall apart. A beautiful stranger once said, tell it all to a rock and throw it in the deepest part.

The Promise of a Bow in Genesis

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

I sure do love me a road trip. This time I went to the east and while on my way back, I saw the sun over a cliff and had to stop and get myself the perfect shot. So too as the sun shines, we should shine and stand out in all our endeavours. Some of us are blessed with many gifts and talents yet we feel we have the right to bury them. If we do that, we out the fire that lives within. The beauty of this scene reminded me that we should burn and burn brightly for all to see.

As I stood on the pavement waiting to attend a meeting, something beautiful caught my eye. It was the afternoon sun piercing a cloud in all her golden glory. Sometimes we feel like we have run out of a luck, hope and everything in between. In our daily lives, we feel beat up and burnt out because of our routines and the attachments associated with them. When we feel like this, God sends us a sign to let us know he is still present in our situations. It gives us peace and renewed hope to continue living in the light.

The best part of rolling down your window while in transit on the backseat...the sky meeting the sea at the horizon. So too is life, as we expand our horizons, we meet and greet different people with a complexity of challenges and colourful situations. Who said seeing blue had to make you sad? Above and beyond it can be bright and amazingly beautiful! It's all just a matter of perception and positivity...

I LEFT MY HEART IN MONTEGO BAY & NEVER TOOK IT BACK!

Bobby Bloom sang in his song, "La Montego Bay oh whoa whoa whoa!..." You get a thrill just knowing you'll be in the city of Montego Bay. There's no place like home they say and truer words could not have been written. I was born in this city and it has always been a part of who I am, no matter where I am. The second city is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Its breathtaking views and vistas are indeed a sight to behold. When God was making Monetgo Bay, he created a beautiful treasure with a golden sun, turquoise waters and emerald landscapes. It's truly a magnificent piece of paradise that when you go to Montego Bay you may never want to go back from whence you came. I stood on Richmond Hill and LEFT MY HEART IN MONTEGO BAY AND NEVER TOOK IT BACK!

Happy Labour Day!!!!!

The Day I Decided To Stay True To HAPPY

Photo: Abihop

Happiness is staying true to yourself when the world around you thinks you're going crazy. If you had to take a chance in life, take a chance on yourself. If you don't trust, believe or have faith in you and all you do, frankly NO ONE ELSE WILL. There's no greater feeling in the world than living your driven purpose. Step out, be bold and confident but most importantly, LIVE.

If you love, SAY IT.

If you fall, GET UP

If you fail, TRY AGAIN

Get out in the world and do the things you're afraid to do. Life is a matter of taking chances and either you win or lose. You just keep playing with the cards you are dealt.

Tomorrow belongs to those who have hope in the present. Believe in love and let it keep the flame of happiness burning inside of you.
