long ago
perfectly in the heart

From the eternal Persian Rumi ~
Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free."
Whatever we a going through at the moment, we must remember that each day is a gift and the sun will shine again. Life is truly a dance and when the joyful music plays we need to get stepping.
This is the day the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad.
God Bless.
With Love,
Coach K
Is there anything better in life when you truly feel alive. You leave behind the mundane and experience life like it should be fresh and exciting. A think the one word that captures this exuberant feeling is Love. When you have a Love in your life you have this electricity coursing through your body and even the basic simplest tasks are energized with joy and passion.
So we must seek it out this Love of our lives for it is there for all of us and it must be explored and found for without it life is bland. Keep seeking friends because we all deserve a love like no other and compromise is out of the question. Seek and we shall find. Ask and it shall be given.
With a Love like that we can light up the whole world. Starting with ours.
With Love,
Coach K
The Pieta is a sculpture by Michelangelo that is considered one of the greatest works of art ever created. When Michelangelo was 23 years old, he was commissioned by a cardinal to produce “the most beautiful work of marble in Rome, one that no living artist could better.” It was to capture the moment the Virgin Mary held Christ in her arms after he was taken down from the cross.
Accepting the challenge, the relatively unknown young man got to work on a block of Carrara marble. Less than 2 years later, the work was installed at the cardinal's grave, on the very same day he died. When revealed, it was met with sheer disbelief. Most doubted it was the young man’s work, so he carved into the sash across Mary's chest: “Michelangelo Buonarroti of Florence made this.”
La Pietà embodies the power of beauty as a transcendent force. It takes the worst possible human tragedy — the loss of a grieving parent — and transforms it into something that helps you to instead see the ecstatic joy of human life. Michelangelo saw in the dead body of Christ such compassionate suffering that it drove him to create the most beautiful thing ever hewn from a block of marble.
Vasari called it a “miracle that a formless block of stone could ever have been reduced to a perfection that nature is scarcely able to create in the flesh.”
La Pietà now lives at St. Peter’s Basilica, where it has been for over 500 years.
J.M. Barrie was a Scottish novelist and playwright and the author of Peter Pan. All of accomplishments and achievements start with Belief. Our thoughts and ideas shape our destiny, and the Good News is we control and determine our thoughts and beliefs.
Like Peter Pan flitting the skies we can also dare to live the life we dreamed of and soar the heavens for we know that with God all things all possible.God Bless.
With Love,
Coach K
