In high school I was introduced to ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost. \u00a0I was moved by the poem, of course I was a senior in high school getting ready to graduate, not knowing what the world would bring me. \u00a0I have never been attracted to what the world wanted and was once told that, \u201cI beat to a different drummer.\u201d \u00a0But I did and have had to go through the stage of wanting to fit in. \u00a0Now I find that the road less traveled for me is the discovery back into my heart. I have found to get there I must first leave everything I know, have been told, beliefs, opinions of others and that has at times been very challenging. \u00a0Now I sit here typing my experience for each of you on a computer, I sit in a very simple apartment, live simply, and live presently in the now, with of course some bumps, blimps along the way. \u00a0I have done lots of forgiving, had several dark nights, felt lost, scared, confused, doubted quite a bit, and loved lots. I have lost many people that I loved. Many are still alive, and some have past. \u00a0There have been times of many friends, sometimes when I asked, \u201cWhere did everyone go?\u201d, lots of questioning, both of myself and others. \u00a0I have done the dance of running from many things, only to realize that when I stopped, there was nothing to run from. I have chased and been chased in love, only to stop and realize that isn\u2019t love. \u00a0Now, right now I feel very comfortable in the presence of this life. Very comfortable in not knowing where my heart will lead me. Life is simple, I laugh more, cry when moved, hug lots, and truly love people. A love without wanting anything in return. Gratitude for me is not an attitude at all, although it has been one and yet that was insincere, you can\u2019t cheat, cut corners, or act anything. \u00a0Now I am filled with appreciation for all that I have now. \u00a0Truly. \u00a0The truth when discovered is simple, and profound, and still. \u00a0It can\u2019t be described in words, it is not even in the action, it is now. \u00a0Each of you will discover your freedom. It is probably the most difficult thing to be with. \u00a0And yet the most wonderful deliverance. You can\u2019t imagine what it will be, because it is not in the future, or past, but big deal, right? Not a lot of people stick it out. It is more comfortable to try and be something then realize that it is in the being something that is the most difficult. \u00a0My travels have taken me to wisdom and understanding that can\u2019t express the love I sense in my heart. \u00a0I see my daughter, and she has taught me so much. I never thought, imagine, that I would be writing, teaching, speaking, facilitating on being, in truth I am not. I simply go where I am inspired and observe the experience as it is unfolding. \u00a0Thank you for reading this blog and for your wonderful comments and sharing with me. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n
You are loved 24\/7\u2026<\/p>\n
