Turning Point
February 25, 2008 11:09 pm
Life is a funny set of challenges, pushing us to grow and discover.
It seems a mysterious playground at times, but at others it seems anything but in a work environment that is filled with pessimism and irritation, and surrounded with negative world news. I find myself living in a world which seems driven by a strange obsession with money as measure success, which does not appear to be as fulfilling as society likes to portray.
Stuck in a mess of conflicting belief systems, it is not always easy to stand up to this confusion, face your fears and forge your own, true path.
But at the end of the road, on your deathbed, don’t you want to at least be able to look back and say you had the guts to give it your best shot?
One Response to “Turning Point”
I’m at a turning point myself. At summer’s end, I feel the announcement of autumn and with it are my own feelings of change within. After completing what has been a journey reached set up in my heart and mind around adolescence, some 40 years later, I’m seeking to study with elder masters in Japan, in Africa and in my own America. I want to study and pass on their knowing, their spirit, their lessons. Already I have been a teacher in the grand scheme of public university teaching but I am drained and seriously in need of new knowledge, not from more books but from older wisdom that is borne of peace and tireless commitment to the earth herself.
This is a Turning Point in my road and it may be that putting it out into the ephemeral web land, I be turned inward a year or so from now.
