Where to begin...I have been on a intense search for several years now.  What have I been seeking.  Answers, you know, to the big questions.  Where did I come from?  Who am I supposed to be in the big scheme of things?  Did I agree to all of this?  Or, is this just a playground in my imagination and someday, I will awake and find it was all a dream? 

 

When I began to seek, I found there were all sorts of people, places, events and happenings occurring that I did not even know existed.  I wondered where were they before this quest?  They obviously existed, but they were not in my awareness, and therefore, were not even given a thought within my consciousness.  So, my focus was on gathering mountains of information, and finding sources everywhere. 

 

I would search and find one thing, then start reading and learning, then someone would talk about another related subject.  Then, I searched for information about that, and begin my quest anew.  I began to understand that it is this discovery that is the process of life and learning.  As a life-long learner, I have followed traditional educational paths, which allowed me the privilege of structured learning as well as the joy of interaction with fellow learners.  Outside of that tradition, I have also been learning much about what inspires me, what causes me pain and what makes my heart sing.

Now, I find that I am not as concerned about all the distractions that originally caused me to seek answers.  It is OK that others are seeking or walking a path.  I do not have to follow.  I am learning that trying to be all and learn all, is just another of ego's disguises.  I am not seeking so much, and instead, am taking the time to experience life and all it has to offer.  My life is constantly filled with wonder and joy, and I am remembering to live in the experience of each moment more and more.  With each breath my purpose is to appreciate life in all its aspects and to honor the presence of God within each soul.  Each time I practice this appreciation, I can feel the difference within me and for the situation.

 

My personal and spiritual growth is an ongoing experience in love and appreciation.  It is a privilege to be able to share my journey with you.  And, my wish you for you is joy and happiness as you discover your journey.  It is the journey of discovery that creates the sacred space for us to grow and expand past the confines of our bodies and reach for the greatness within.

You are the journey that will carry you to your destination!  Welcome to the journey!
