Back In My Chair

“And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” 

Meister Eckhart

 

Over the past few years I have experienced many life lessons and challenges. As time passed, I began to appreciate some lessons arrived before I my teachers arrived. My lesson in this situation was to pray for patience. I was at a crossroads.

As my seventieth birthday came and went, I realized I had to get back in my writing chair and enroll in my latest series of lessons.

I feel my teacher is near. Her satchel is full and I can feel her determination.

Come join me.

“I believe that life is all about perception and timing. That good things come to those who act and that life’s about more than collecting a paycheck. I believe that the only person you’re destined to become is the one that you decide to be. That if you try hard enough you can convince yourself of anything. That having patience doesn’t make you a hero nor does it make you a doormat. I believe that not showing love proves you’re weak and belittling others doesn’t make you strong. That you are never as far away from people as the miles may suggest. That life’s too short to read awful books, listen to terrible music, or be around uninspiring people. I believe that where you start has little impact on where you finish. That sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away. That you can never be overdressed or overeducated. I believe that the cure for anything is salt water; sweat, tears, or the sea. That you should never let your memories be greater than your dreams. And that you should always choose adventure.”
