Don't you hate it when you have a brilliant opening to a post but then the web page takes so long to load that you forget it completely?
It's amazing how everything falls into place. I think my friends have disappeared and I feel lonely, and two people call me to talk about stuff. I think my relationship sucks and events happen so that everything is better than I could have ever imagined. And I have a fantastic imagination.
It all lead to the same conclusions. I had to tell someone else to really understand it myself. The more open you are to HIM, the more you can see. There have always been signs pointing me to where i need to go, I just didn't pay them any attention.
The question is, what am I missing now?
I find myself building a fortress of things. I keep buying, saving, dressing up, applying this, rubbing on that. It's all to keep the world out. I'm afraid of what I don't know. I read a book once. (insert shot at my reading abilities here). haha, very funny.
The point is, I was reading this one book. The author asked if you ever freak out when driving at night. If you're driving from new york to wyoming, does it bother you that you can only see 200 ft with your headlights? no. you know where you're going. You can't see where you're going. You just know you'll get there, piece by piece, sign by sign. Just follow the road signs. There will always be 200ft of light ahead of you. Sometimes you get turned around, sometimes the signs aren't clear, sometimes you're just stuffing your face with a hardees thickburger. You can always turn around, and you'll have the knowledge of what is down that particular road. Or maybe it's just the scenic route. In any case, you can get where you need to be if you just pay attention and know that you don't need to know everything.
Talk about a cosmic slap on the forehead.
What's next after I face my fears? I don't know, I can't make out the sign yet. But I can see where I am. Here's to moving forward.
