Since August 2007 I have had a release of new energy in a new direction, my previous life has been preciously stored away, not lost, not buried, just rested. I have started a new life, something that I am still grappling with, still a little lost, confused, and uncertain. My true beginning will take place only after I have come through the wilderness and am ready to perhaps make the commitment to do things differently than I ever have done before
Like any organic process, this beginning cannot be made to happen by a word or act. It will happen, just as fruit follows flowers, it will be natural and not subject to anyone's will.
But if I am unable to force this beginning, I can encourage it, support it, and reinforce it. I cannot turn a key or flip a switch, but I can cultivate the ground and provide the nourishment. For myself and others who find themselves in this 'wilderness' perhaps we should ask ourselves: What is my purpose in this life? What do I want my future to look like? What has to happen to make this picture a reality?. . . . . . . .then when these questions have been answered, take responsibility to guide our lives in the direction we wish to follow. Alternatively, we can sit in the wilderness..... and wait!
