Just Keep Moving.
That's the phrase that circles around my brain like some buzzing thing, pushing me forward. Propelling, acuating, driving, impelling and compelling me to take not-so-ordered steps. The point isn't to have a plan, that's one nugget of truth I have come to take into my world. The point isn't to feel good all of the time or pursue the easier thing. No, no. The idea is to keep moving forward, to keep doing not accomplishing- because sometimes just being content is an activating force. Believe me. I am reaching peaks and mucking through valleys. Like a bridge over troubled water, like some bright shining partical of revelation I have found the key to my ultimate survival/self-illumination. Just keep changing, growing, becoming.
Just Keep moving.
And the temptation to revert, to move backwards, to disover some burrow in the folds of simpler things is sometimes the hook in my heel pulling me backwards. I have to repeatedly decide to not take up residence in the past or idealize the present... I have to keep looking for the next thing that will light me up, set my mind on fire, birth creativity (creatively), etc. And that, loves, is more exciting and fulfilling than settling for easy answers and routine.
It's that revolution I talked about before. The revolution of embracing life fully and without reservation, taking it all into yourself and feeling the whole thing of it.
So, may you find the thing inside yourself that is wholly other and embrace it,
the thing that calls you to greater things,
climbing the mountains and taking the jumps
May you write an ever-changing beautiful story
that propells your heart, mind and soul to its limits and beyond
And may you grow not only within yourself,
but also within the context of community
Doing life together
All or nothing
Going and growing
Until you realize that it isn't just you that changes
but if you let it happen- you can change the world around you.
Shalom.
