Clarity...

One morning you wake up and there is clarity.  We hold on to things....things?  Feelings.  Material objects.  Baggage.  Baggage of the past.  We hang on desperately.  To what end?  Are we afraid of moving on?  Are we afraid without the baggage, the material things we become less or even do not exist?  Is it a holding on to something rather then to experience life?

One morning you wake up and the fear has dissipated....you realize that the only thing that stops you from experiencing all that life has to offer is you.

We lose our focus and along with it goals.  When I first started this blog - oh seems like ages ago...it was about the places where I landed for awhile to experience life.  From Minnesota it was Red Lodge, Montana and back to St Paul for a brief balancing of my spirit.  Now North Carolina.  Oh North Carolina has been most interesting...not what I anticipated at all.

Red Lodge was about learning about myself.  A part of me that I denied - as a friend told me (a very wise friend) claim who you are.  I did claim who I am before I left Red Lodge.  North Carolina has been thoughts...ponderings and clarity.

One morning you wake up and the fear is less and there is more clarity.  One morning I shall wake up and there is no fear and the clarity is ever present.

One morning...
