Alot more light please...alot less asphalt
I crave a more authentic life. I want to go deeper in my life. I want to dig into my very soul and see and experience what is there. I want to find out who I really am.
I have observed alot of violence in my thinking, especially toward myself in the form of self-judgement and towards others in the form of criticism. I want time, time to excavate within and uproot this violence and, like a gardener, pull it out, root by root.
Notice the cracks on the foundation of the road, that asphalt that creates driving and walking spaces for us. Through these cracks, small plants, weeds mostly, push into the light. Their existence will not be denied. In the same way, my own stiff, hard surface covering that conceals my authentic self has cracks. On occasion, my own brillant light seeps out. I want to live my life with alot more light and alot less asphalt. I want every connection to be unrushed and full and luxuriate in each experience. For me, life has become a maze of complexities...and I live a rather simple life compared to most people.
My interactions at the JOB confirm the intricacies of living in the here and now. I REALLY want to unravel those complexities that are mine.
Now please do not misunderstand...it is not that I think taking off and walking across the country is the only way to uncover one's light and shine, of course it is not. I just want to do it and I believe that in the process a bunch of my personal asphalt will fall away and more magnificent, brilliant light will burst forth.
