We are not reeds in a river, swaying soley in obedience to the rushing water. Nor are we feathers floating on the wind. We are living, breathing, thinking creatures. We have remnants of instincts still alive in our bodies and minds, and for a reason: they are what have allowed our species to live so long and evolve thus far. Yet we also have intellect and the added power of perception to aid us on our human journey. And more than all that, we have the power of choice.
We have the power - we always have it - to choose our life's circumstances. So often it seems as if we are trapped in one way or another. The truth, however, is that we have chosen to be trapped. Many situations do arise that are indeed out of our own hands. They can tear apart our lives, rip away the ground that supports us, throw us into the darkness, and so much more. Perhaps such moments are simply the consequences born of our actions - perhaps they are not. They can be traumatic, they can be dangerous, or they can be blessings. It matters not what happens to us. What matters is what we choose to do with what has happened. We choose either to fear the situation suddenly upon us and play the victim to life's unfolding, or to embrace the sudden insanity of life and choose the next situation.

Power of Choice
Conscious Living is increasing the awareness that we are choosing. In the process we are proactive in deciding the relative importance and balance of all the competing needs of body, mind, and spirit.
Celebration Conscious Living Fair
You're invited!
For the last thirty one years there has been a gathering of people to support conscious living. We call it the Celebration Metaphysical Fair. Every Spring and Autumn, people come from far and wide to Colorado to share and play with a community of fellow seekers.
Check it out at CelebrationFair.com.
If you combine this Metaphysical Celebration with a visitation to the beauty of Colorado, you'll have a wonderful experience to remember. If you're coming from far away, let us know so we can consciously support your adventure.
