all...
day....
long....
until it was discovered...that the bill wasn't paid....as an oversight. oops.
oh, well...I'm back up.
and I'm here....good. :)
and I passed by a magazine that I have....and it speaks of LAND....and the desire to explore....or desire for hard to find spices....the yearning to seek out other lands...spending lengths of time at sea...in search....
and what is this desire to do so? what makes humans want to pick up and leave their regular....normal....safe, lives...and seek out something completely different?
if you were living in the arctic....and lived in a land of ice and snow....what would make you even desire something else? how would you even know there was something else out there?
maybe...just following the lead of animals....the desire for food...yeah, ok....right. good point...but,
not in all cases...
you have to take risks to see what's out there....the need to reach a land you've never seen....the desire to know something that you never knew existed....
a new experience....
a desire to feel....
a desire for exploration....
humans have travelled crazy distances for spices...for new lands....for the thrill of it all....
but
guess what? the scariest place on earth....is located right between your head and your heart.
exploring yourself....and getting to know what lies in the dark caverns of your soul....
that is the place to explore...ahhhh.....man.....that's worth some time exploring....
it's a beautiful place.....when you stop and appreciate the real....rawness of it....
it's a place that seems to be elusive... for there times that other people put signs up....that detour you from where you need to be....
but it's up to you....to stay the course....find your way.....
but...once you discover ...the place.....the place where 'you' are....
it's the most glorious discovery on earth.
to wind up...being....where you always needed to be.....but it takes a whole lot of exploration and discovery...
to wind up....
home...at peace.....balanced....and happy....in bliss...in your very own skin, with a deep understanding of the land you've just discovered.
Lands.....to explore.....without moving a muscle...with no need for a passport....or traversing foreign lands....or getting sick from eating coconut sold on the street cut up with a dirty machete...I'm just saying....it's no fun.
discovery takes a whole lot of rumination...the turning of your mind....the discovery and re-discovery....the path you keep passing up is the path straight to your heart....
find that path.....and find your peace.
peace...and love...and discovery....and paint on your hands....there's always paint on my hands.
