Where am I going?
Where have I been? What choices
along life’s way have made all the difference?
Last week as I walked the forest surrounding the Commonweal Retreat I quickly
became deeply reflective. It was the mix
of the woods and circle work in a community of learning and caring that each
day had me reaching deep. The mix of
past, present, and possible futures were like ocean waves that I’d surf, and at
times tumbled down their face reliving past moments or experience the fear of free-falling
into too many possible futures.
What did I learn at Commonweal? It wasn’t so much what I learned, but the reminder
of those lessons along the way making the journey awesome! Much of the awesomeness has to do with the
people, relationships, love, kindness, and their unconditional compassion. I also recognized that I am the kind of person
that accepts the mystery, unknown aspect of life. Faced with two diverging paths, you can count
on me taking the one that offers the mystery of untold possibilities. Why?
Because I’ve learned that along this path I will meet unconditional
people who also believe the mystery in life paths are awesome! How about you? Two roads diverged in a yellow wood…
