Just Doing What Comes Naturally

So here I am again wondering why it is so hard for some people to accept change, move on and let go of people places and things that no longer serve them. It is so natural for me not to become too attached to anything in this world. Everything can or will change. Can be over in a micro-second. I know that I will be taking nothing with me when I leave this rock but the love and life lessons I experienced. In my 46 years I feel like I have lived several lifetimes. Reinvented or reincarnated myself over and over again. I do not have friends from my childhood. I hold onto very few memento's of my life journey. Lack family photo's or school age memorabilia, marriages, homes, romantic relationships and so on. I know that nothing stays the same, that people come and go throughout our lives. Moving through life without attachments works for me. I know that some people are meant to stay longer while others are meant to simply pass through. They are all a bigger part of the higher plan. I realize that these personal experiences are important. I know that by loving as much as you can, for as long as you can: IS my purpose. I am better for knowing them. I also realize that some of them have tried to grab onto my life force, my coat-tail , to catch my light in their hands. Silly people. They would have a better chance to try to catch a shooting star in those endless skies above. I need to embrace changes with enthusiasm. I can choose to stop and smell the flowers along the way. Daily take time out to meditate deep within the quiet, seek the peaceful mind. Honor a heart that is filled with love. My motto: I don't know where I am going, but I can't wait to get there. I know that my soul can travel faster than the speed of light: when I am the light.....

Ah...And Then There are Those Speed Bumps!

So I am moving along quite nicely. Over coming fears and obstacles leaps and bounds. Feels really good, I am finding my comfortable pace. I am catching up with the lead cars....and then "BAM" I hit a speed bump. I literally I hit the ground. I am stunned, embarrassed, hurt and wounded both inside and out. What the heck does this mean? Well after a brief ER visit last night, lots of ice, nice pain medicine and a not so good nights sleep I hear in my morning meditation: Slow and steady wins the race Robin. Stop trying to do it "all or nothing". OK I think I understand this. But why the @#&*^ "speed bump?" I hear: You were using far too much energy out of the starting line. (NO I am not a Nascar fan or a horse racing one either) But I get it....I can see the track. It all makes sense to me know. If I am indeed seeking balance and moderation in my life then the added pressure of making up for lost time is not the way to achieve this. Today I am sore and slow. But I am more focused then ever on the goals: the changes I have set out for myself. I am certain that by slowing myself down, step by step, one day at a time this long term changes will happen. Change is no longer impossible but actually inevatible. Learning that "slow and steady" is fast enough. I know that I will not get lost, instead I will enjoy the view. Awake and aware on this wonderful life journey. And yes my friends, I am thanking God today for the speed bump. With nothing broken but an unhealthy pattern!
