The day's voyage...

By Vichara

What travel plans do you have for your heart today? Do you have reservations for a journey that will take you on a different path? It does seem odd to ask these questions of ourselves when for the majority of us just think things happen. Yes random events do occur and the accumulation of these events will steer that day in many directions but at the heart of all of this is the cause and effect and how we react to these events. It would be best if at the center we align our “hearts” in a compassionate and decisive position. Yes the day’s journey will still reflect both the negative and the positive but by having this guiding mechanism at the center will you will be better equipped to steer clear of the rocks of deception and sail onward to the waters of universal understanding.

Did you know?
If you've ever heard of a dessert served flambé, you already have some insight into the origins of today's word. "Flamboyant," which was borrowed into English from French in the 19th century, can be traced back to Old French "flambe," meaning "flame." In its earliest uses "flamboyant" referred to a style of architecture, often in the florid French Gothic style, which featured waving curves that suggested flames. Eventually, the word developed a more general second sense for anything eye-catching or showy. As you have no doubt guessed, Old French "flambe" is also the origin of the English adjective "flambé."
