HMMMMMMMM!

Do you approach each day saying "HMMMMMMMM!"
with your hand to your head-
wondering, in doubt, perplexed and confused?
Or do you approach each day saying "HMMMMMMMM!" with joy, excitement and anticipation for the wonderful things that are in store for you today?
Same "word" but which context is leading your life?

Excerpt from poem "The Invitation" by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

"It doesn't matter to me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to now if you will risk looking like a fool
for love, for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments."


I've spent most of my life looking for that partner, that performance, that show, that amount of money etc....that would fill in the empty moments and have me say "hmmmmmmmm" with excitement and joy all the time. But I understand now that life is the joy AND the pain, the growth AND stagnation, it is about the JOURNEY not the destination.

Let me say the last three weeks I settled AGAIN-(things have just been going entirely too well-hee-hee) so when the old familiar "relationship" knocked on my door I said "okay." (There will be a blog/seminars dedicated to focusing on relationships in the future of Samarra Am Management.) The first time it took me 7 years to admit my truth, the second 4 years, the next 8 months and this time only 3 weeks to get fed up with the unsatisfying sensation of "settling." My destiny, our destiny-despite what they tell you in the newspapers, on tv, the radio, out of the mouths of our closest friends, our parents and our programmed mind chatter-is to risk believeing we deserve our heart's desire and "HMMMMMMMM" in the adventure of being alive.


Despite your "circumstances" I invite you to spend Tuesday through Sunday of this week testing out your joyful "HMMMMMMMM." I swear it works. It's about the JOURNEY!
I'm doing a play now called "The Imaginary Invalid" by Moliere. The lead character "believes" he is sick. It gets him a lot of attention and that feels good. So he continues being "sick." Practice for a at least a week not being "sick." That attention is only "familar." The "perpetuation of sickness" is the way of the world. BUT...

"I want to know if you can be with joy, mine, or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic,
to remember the limitations of being human."

by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

The truth is ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! It simply begins with what you believe!
HMMMMMMMM!!
