Sage Sense Today
August 14, 2009

Today I will focus on just being. I will engage in the gentle art of, “not doing”.

I will take the time to go to the park, sit on the ground, listen to the birds;  to the laughter of the children at play.  I will hear the tower bell hourly chimes.

I will see through a child’s eyes; with freshness and wonder!
I will listen silently with an open heart.
I will feel the sensations throughout my being.
I will taste the sweetness from a sprig of purple clover.
I will smell the fragrance of the ever blooming roses.
I will share greetings and embraces with friends along the way.
I will listen to my guide and replenish my soul.

One of my favorite little sayings, that hangs on my office door is…

Listening to your heart, finding out who you are, is not simple. It takes time for the chatter to quite down. In the silence of “not doing” we begin to know what we feel. If we listen and hear what is being offered, then anything in life can be our guide. Listen.

Got writer’s block?

Carved out some time from your busy schedule to indulge yourself and get down to some serious writing.    The moment arrives; Finally! Finally! time to write.  “Ah, what shall I write about?”

You search your mind in desperate anticipation to conjure up a topic of interest or a thought that might inspire you to write, only to find yourself still staring at the same blank piece of paper one hour later.

More than likely your mind is on overload, searching endlessly for anything to write about.

“Have you forgotten rule, Numero Uno ?” your inner voice chimes in. [Read more →]

Today I am mindful of the inner beauty that lies within. I choose to nurture this awareness with loving kindness and compassion as I go forward examining my thoughts and beliefs.

Developing awareness and being mindful of your life is like a Polaroid camera clicking in our mind, as the picture slowly develops right in front of our eyes. It comes into focus when we come face to face with reality and choose to take a closer look. [Read more →]

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side

Dear Diary,

Today at work, I had a keen sense of awareness, which provided a great deal of insight and reflection. As you already know, I work on a rehabilitation wing. One of my previous resident’s was readmitted. Although, it has been a relatively short time since her last admission, there has been a significant change in her appearance. [Read more →]

I watched a recent airing of America’s Funniest Videos and got an especially large kick out of this segment. A three year old was being invited out of her bedroom to appear on her father’s video camera. The child finally appeared in the open hallway but under great duress. “I’m MAD!!”, she exclaimed and refused to come any closer to the camera. [Read more →]

Love to write; Feeling the need to be inspired.  Looking for a great place to call home and share with fellow writers. Sign up today and become a sage writer.  Sage writers are people from all walks of life that have two things in common.  They love to write and feel as though they have something of interest to write about.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, “Sageism”, was named after me, Sage Williams.  No, I’m not famous by any means, but I, like you, have a passion for writing.   Although, there will be many different places to write on this site.

Sage writers are those, that feel they have gained a little wisdom through their life experiences and have a burning desire to share with others.
