Are You A-wake Now?

Are you A wake now?-)

I was inspired to write this post after coming home from a meditative walk in a local park and after having read chapter 25 in Wayne Dyer's book 'I Can See Clearly Now' where Wayne recounts the choice he had to live the life he wanted to live or a life he didn't want to live.

A local pond in a park nearby to where
I live with some awake ducks

Which got me to thinking about another author whose work I like, but made the decision to end the academic life that he didn't like living.

Maybe your wake doesn't propel you along like Wayne Dyer says, but it can sure affect others in your wake, I think.

I think water is a way more zen element than sand to contemplate when it comes to the things that rock my personal world.
When you run your rake through a zen water garden and the ripples disappear you really have nothing much to see much then:-) 
Way more zen I think ... or try not to.

Sorry, I was in a zen mood and thought I would give you something not to think about, too;-)
I Can See Clearly Now That Life is a Journey, Not a Destination?
