It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
I think about this all the time. I'm always coming to new cross roads in life...I believe we all do. I was just posting about that the other day as a matter of fact.
ReplyDeleteSherry - Thanks for chiming in - Glad to know others think this way - I wish there was a Guide Book to Life - To "know" what path to take, but then it would not be as exciting! Living life to the fullest has become my solution!
ReplyDeleteI have taught basic Metaphysics, (not at present, though wish to again) and this subject comes up in each class...Paths are fashioned first from our background which we choose to follow or not...Being "linked" with another Soul's path bring us to a crossroads of sorts...Perhaps if those two paths de-tangle then we set out upon another course..Our inner self tells us the way to proceed...Shhhh...just listen... =)
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret ~ Thanks for your enlightening words on this subject ~ You are a wise woman ~ I believe in all these aspects that you mentioned ~ I will keep these words in mind, and listen a bit more ... Beautiful Advice!
ReplyDeleteI always wonder...I don't know if the path is right, but I like to think that there is a reason for every path we take. Maybe we are not meant to know. Maybe that's what life is all about...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sonja - I like to see how others "think" - These are questions that pop into my head from time to time ... Perhaps we are not meant to know ... I like this way of thinking!
