If not now, then when?

Sometimes in the seeking I'm so overwhelmed by the possibilities that fear paralyses me and I feel like I can barely breathe. The weight of the gift is pressing down on my chest, and I don't know If I'll ever get through it.
At this time in my life more than any other, or in fact for the first time in my life, I feel alone. Like a desert island, no ships breaking on my shore. And yet I know I need this. A simple time to gather my thoughts, a pause in time to find my way. But in the silence sometimes all I can hear is my heartbeat. That heavy muscle banging on a steel drum. And so I turn the music louder, to drown it out, wishing away the the thoughts that chase me.
But when I dare, I stop and turn down the white noise, and hail to the Creator, I seek an audience with Him. I need more life breath to keep me here. Peace to transcend my weary thoughts.
And as I look, in that moment, I see a glimpse of His reflected beauty. My friends, artists - creators - beating out the hum and the drum, the heart beat of the life giver, spelling out His name. "Though you may be far, we are near. Though you may not see me now, you will see me in a while. Take heart, I am with you."

As we are one, yet we are many. I dare not call you all here and now, lest I forget one in the calling. But where you are, there you are, I still need you. And so I'm thankful, thankful that in the silence, in your absence you're still here. I'm still there. In this busy life, where we've lost the meaning, there is still a reason.
It's still the same:


That you are here—that life exists and identity,

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman

Do you really want to?

Do you love your life? Are you ready to do more? Do you think you can be more? Does an hour make a difference? Does it matter if it's now or later? Are you able to do what you need to do, without doing the things that you don't want to do? If you do the things you don't want to do in order to do things you do want to do, is that a good thing? A life is a difference. Your life matters, your talent will never be reproduced by some one else. Your vision cannot be percieved without you. What you have to give cannot be taken away. So what will you give? Will you give some or will you give all? Will you give first or will you give last? Take what you have been given and use it to give and give back. Your own creator is asking you to create...Lets look at other createurs and learn from their lives... the good, the bad and the ugly!
