You can’t be just one thing and survive this life. and you rationalists will say that no one survives this life. well, while correct that death takes us all, there is a worse fate for many of us. To walk from day to day, living for the next thing, the next time, for some promised future when it will be better, when you can rest, or do as you desire, or be with the person you love. I see so many of us with that affliction. And it’s not that those lives are necessarily bad. Many of them are happy. Maybe it’s because I’m seeing it from a distance but there seems to be missing in many the spark, the piece of themselves that they could be, if they took a single step outside and saw what was possible. You plan for the future because it is necessary, but you live now, in the moment. You plan, set the plan in place, then let it go. You plan for as many possibilities as you can imagine then let those go as well and trust that you are capable of adapting well enough that you will survive. You all have it in you to be…so much more…; I wish more people grasped that and walked sideways into their future.
