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...
Grown indeed. And new opportunities and feeling uncomfortable remind us of how far we have come and how much further we can go. With each step your heart opens and you let in more light. Keep stepping forward!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you, Jennifer -- Yes -- I have to start realizing what I have accomplished and being grateful for that -- Instead of always striving for more -- I want to think in terms of an accomplished past and using those years for steps to where I am headed ... and holding those thoughts close Xx
DeleteThe blessings of God trumps everything else...so glad you are blessed. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deborah -- I am very blessed & grateful!
