Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there,

To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not,

You must go by a way wherein there is not ecstasy.

In order to arrive at what you do not know

You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.

In order to possess what you do not possess

You must go by the way of dispossession.

In order to arrive at what you are not

You must go through the way in which you are not.

And what you do not know is the only thing you know

And what you own is what you do not own

And where you are is where you are not.

..T.S. Eliot

all of the uncertainty can seem more than daunting until we make it all a grand adventure….not forcing the sun to shine, but being there when it does…..the unadulterated and unabashed force of your own sweet soul making it known that you are living on this earth…..may we find our life…..

may we never forget the wonderment….

….it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst….And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life….

……Lester in ‘American Beauty’
