Letter to a friend..

The path you're on is the only true real path. There is no other path. It is the culmination of every decision you have made to this point. It is the foundation for every decision you will make from this point forward. It is an expression of everything you are and aspire to be. There is no other path. It IS the path. It is neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. Don't curse the road for the potholes or dwell on the faded yellow lines. You will miss the brilliant fall colours that dot the landscape. You will miss the cotton candy clouds that dance on a carousel of autumn wind.

The moment you accept that you are exactly where you need to be, you start to live this moment to the fullest. If you truly wish to be somewhere else, you will find your way there. But, to reject the here and now is to stop living in the moment...which is essentially to stop living, since we can only live in the here and now. To live anywhere else is to take yourself out of existence, to give up your consciousness and float in limbo.

If you conquer the little things, the bigger worries will take care of themselves. Pull the weeds and the flowers bloom higher. Do the little things that bring you joy and joy will find a home within you.

I know it is our nature to to worry, to feel at times helpless in a seemingly chaotic world. But, that is an illusion. We are whatever we choose to tell ourselves we are. Forget about changing the world, change the routine that wears you down and you will have begun a greater transformation.

Right now you have mobility, you have a place to stay. You have friends who would welcome you and support you. You have years of experience in your chosen field and health and time enough to choose another and begin again. You have family. You have the innocence of a child to absorb. talk to that child...see what makes him laugh and laugh with him. You have the beauty and tranquility of the countryside, absorb the lessons it has to teach. There is nothing stopping you from attaining anything you want but worry and self-doubt. And, it is in your power to reject both or embrace both and wallow in the misery they offer. Don't second guess others or have expectations of them. Just go with the flow and create joy. Go to the cottage and create fun. There is absolutely no reason to worry that someone isn't catering to your ego. That is counter productive to creating a mood of joy and fun. Reject the sensitivity as an outdated habit that allowed you to hide from the things you want most so you can later get attention by playing the victim. Reject being rejected and you will be the life of the party, even if you are outside watching the leaves while everyone inside gets drunk. It won't matter. You will have found a place in the group dynamic where you have found your own kind of joy. I say this to you out of love and friendship. Embrace the possibility, not the potential for disappointment.

The moment you accept that you CAN do anything, is the moment you will begin the anything that you choose to explore.

There is nothing wrong with the darkness the funk, the quiet. With out these, there could be no joy, no noise, no light. We are creatures of relativity. We are creators! So create. When you hit a wall, when you hit a block......punch through, go around, knock, or read a book and wait for the owner to come home. never think there is someone on the other side working against you. Even if there is...he/she has no power to stop you. There are a million different doors, and a million different answers. But, there is only one path. And, it is the path you are on. It is the path that you have chosen to walk. And, it is a glorious path. Smile. You are amazing!!!!
