Day One ... 3:15 Experiment

First Post ... barely readable ...

What if we were always at the beginning of everything and at the end of nothing?

Stuck in a perpetual creation cycle.
Held to the momentum of a constant new beginning.
Living in an endless Spring.
Suspended in a constant burst of inspiration.
Always moving on the rise of a wave.
Continuously poised for the deep inhale.
Our bodies frozen in the first big step.
Arms wide open for a hug that never connects.

Why do many of us live that way, stuck in what we see as the best of all things. The best of all things being the beginning. How many times have you heard someone say "but it was so good in the beginning" ... or "I wish it was like it used to be". Worst yet ... "I need to hold on" ... "wait".

Being stuck in a beginning sounds ridiculous when it is set up that way, yet avoiding change, avoiding truth, avoiding reality is in effect like avoiding your world. It is like giving the directions to the greatest good "stop the world and let me off".

To get "unstuck" means to accept change.

What is the purpose in prolonging an end? It is a natural flow of beginning, middle and then comes that wonderful end. The wonderful end front loads the next great beginning.

The possible set up for the first 3:15 Experiment entry ...

I had a dream last night that I kept handing a man a baby. The baby was adorable. Each time I would hand the man the baby, the man would place the baby under a bed. I would come back into the room, get the baby out from under the bed, love the baby up and hand the baby to the man. The man would place the baby back under the bed again. This continued on a number of times. The baby was growing smaller and was not happy. I finally left the bedroom with the baby, telling the man "why would you want a baby to grow up like this, placing its potential on hold like that?".

This is where the idea for the 3:15 post surely came in.

New beginnings are wonderful.
They cannot be stalled however. We cannot postpone their fullness.

Would the peach stay perfect on the branch?

We must allow the growth of new beginnings.

We must also trust and allow endings.

A beginning comes to a natural end. An ending comes to the next natural beginning.

August 1 ... my first rambling entry for the 3:15 experiment. I'm IN ... heading towards wild creative flow from a partially loaded, sleepy mind.

I will face the direction of the east today ... the direction of new beginnings and I will state my gratitude for my last ending there.

the combination of philosophy and dream and life is always interesting to me.
