It is like I have lived this life I have over and over again. Like a repeating track that I am unable to change. Every night I go to sleep and my life plays out as I slip into a different world, yet to wake the following morning here in my home. What if our dreams are when we die and by waking up the following morning we are in heaven? This is what déjà vu is for me and as a writer who writes a daily journal, I have often wondered what is real and what is just a dream. I have

Artists, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear that term? It is starving, struggling, poor, crazy or maybe creative? To really understand an artist is to step into their world and realize how they think is greatly different than most people. Most of the artist’s, famous and not famous, think as themselves as the hands of God/the Creator where that energy is working through them. We are able to see the artist through their work as they are extension of

It is late in the afternoon as I sit here at the train tracks waiting for the next train to come. Looking down the line, I see the light of an engine as it crosses this prairie landscape. I am taking back into the history of train travel and how it was a key to settling the west here in Canada. At first glance, the train is getting closer as I can hear the horn and then the crossing gates come down. It is a grain train heading for the west coast. As I count the cars, I also t

Over the space of time that we have in this physical world we only have control over how we manage our lives. Time itself is in constant motion, and we can not get back what time has pasted. The fog of time as it only holds to this world because once we leave for the next life it will stop. When life seems to be a blur and we are in a battle to keep up with others in our lives, family and friends, we in a way lose focus on our own life. For this reason, we try to make time fo

In times of struggle there are always those who stand by you. Some are blood and others are our friends who have become blood. Every step we take when we are struggling feels like we are taking on the world. In a way we are, however, it is our world, and the struggles are lessons that we are learning to make us a better person. Sometimes we forget who stood with us over the length of our life. We also forget to thank the ones who have always been there. In life we grow as it

There are things that puzzle us. The future, what has happened in the past and what we are doing in the present moment. Life in general is like a big puzzle because we all have a picture of how and where we want to be in our life. Once we pick up the pieces and start to make the boarders of our puzzle, our drams that we have become the picture on the inside. Everyone’s puzzle is different, and we can only focus on what should be in our own life. It does not matter where we li

Coming to a point in life where we look back on it, we cans see our greatest struggles and achievements. When we were in the struggles, we can see the people who helped us the most and the words they said. During those times we always heard the words that were needed. It’s alright, one of the two words that our closest friends or family would say as they show us how far we have come. In what life has given us in lessons, both from the good and bad, we have grown in many ways.

Ask yourself what you are afraid of. Everyone has fears in their life. Most people do everything they can do to avoid these fears. Some for example are using their fear itself to drive themselves towards their life’s goal, like fuel to propel them in their career. Another one is to motivate them into moving to a new community where there are better opportunities for their family and career. One of the biggest fears is to fail in life. In today’s society there is the way peopl

As we focus on our future, the thought of someday comes into being. The reason is because we can only make plans for today for the next part of our week, month and such. All of these plans are only what we hope is going to take place. The reason for this is because these plans can change at any moment. We all say that someday I will do this or work there, or I will be this. Most of us stay focused on these simple thoughts and work to achieve them. That is the thing, we need t

Why does society’s governments want us against each other? Why is there a need to be against each other? Why can we not see each other as equals? These three questions are the base of what us and them is all about. The teaching of this separation starts almost as soon as we start to walk. Our parents teach that there is our way which is the us and then everyone else’s which is them. We are then thrusted into the school system and that in one way treats every child as equal, h

The first secret garden is somewhere in our hearts and minds. From here we find the things we love and what fits into our lives. Some would say that the Garden of Eden is the first, however, to understand that you need to find yourself. There are other gardens that come to mind, and they have been written in the history books and still exist. In todays fast-paced world, people are taking less time to enjoy these places, and some are even being lost to time themselves. There i

Every night we dream as we sleep. The question is are the dreams we are having when we are asleep real life, and our waking life is the dream? This question is as big as the question of why are we here? How do we know what is real or a dream? It is a challenging question because each way you look at it, the answer some how changes. Do to how we are and feel at the time, the answer could be either side of reality. To understand one thing is that if you have a dream of where yo

When does life really start? Is it when we are born? Most would say yes to that last question. Could this life we have now be a staging ground for what life really is? Is every day just a page in our life story? Does our life continue even after we die? Some hard questions I have to say. The pages of our life are written between birth and death which is from the beginning of our life’s story. The reason is because for those of you who believe in a soul, the soul lives on afte
