While walking along a familiar country path this
morning, I encountered a young man on an ATV who was using the same path. I
thought about him riding that same path frequently and wondered why he didn’t
change routes or find a new path. This brought me to asking myself the same
question. Was I stuck on the familiar safe route? Did I need a new path? Was
the path I was on working for me to make me happy, to give me connection to
others and nourishment for my spirit? I would have to say there were many
things offered on the path I am on in life but some things are missing and my
New Year’s resolution is to fill those needs in. But as an “over -50 woman”, I
have discovered that drastic change is too jolting to the body and the psyche
though it may sometimes be forced upon us as in natural disasters, accidents,
relationship break-ups etc. Of all the events I have experienced in my life
those that came suddenly were the hardest to bear and took the longest to
recover from. So my thought is to proceed slowly and meticulously with a plan
in mind towards the change I want. And my greatest resource will be my desire
for greater well-being and my consciousness that I know myself very well. Desire
as an emotion has energy (perhaps even mass) and can fan the flames of my
change. So I’m glad I encountered the ATV rider on the path we were both using
and I’m glad to light a fire under my newly stated desire for change and I think
I won’t even wait till January 1st, 2015. I’ll start planning and
designing and desiring right now!
Happy New Year!
