Mucho snow...hopeful it's the last!

Okay, let's move from here...

To here already!

Mornin'

Well, I hope all is well with you. Whether you are looking outside at another snowstorm or basking in the sun, I hope all of you are doing well. I realize I always say my entries will be quick. My passion for blogging forces me to spend as much time as possible communicating to my audience. I hope you get as much out of reading Surfing the Pipelines of Life as I get out of making my entries.

This delay in Spring here in the mid-Atlantic region forces me to contemplate not only who is really in charge of our environment, but also my impatience dealing with the situations I find myself in on a daily basis.

There is a time for everything and progress might not be on my time table. Just when I think I can no longer wait for outcomes in situations, I somehow muster the strength to be patient even if it is for just another moment.

It is in those moments when I want to force a process that my homeostasis gets out of whack. I may intuitively know that what I am about to do will place me in such a pickle but I do it anyway. I believe living a wise, peaceful live entails drawing from these experiences and rethinking how I handle each situation as it comes along.

Mother Nature is also a powerful example of this philosophy. She rules the environment and we are powerless over what she does. She does, however, give us the strength and wisdom to cope with what she delivers. When we fight, we become unhappy and struggle. My advice to myself here in the snow and those in sunny, warm locations is to immerse yourself in the processes of life and gain wisdom from every experience. Things may not always go our way but plenty does go our way. You will be amazed how much goes your way when you accept the certainty that things will sometimes go other people's way.

Peace
