Perhaps a most intense turning point of my life is upon me now. For the first time, I have learned to nurture myself emotionally, relationally. For the first time, I have learned to apply principles to my idealized ways of thinking that work for me, and that bear little consequence or responsibility onto another... For the first time I am being real with myself regarding my strengths, weaknesses and feelings ... for the first time, I am launching into the dog-eat-dog world of professionalism as school ends and the search for work begins ... and for the first time, experiencing delicious personal time that is unencumbered by the pull of the outside world...
It seems I am most in control when I realize how in control I am not; similarly, as Socrates noted that true knowledge lies in the realization that one knows nothing... the same must be true of control. Relationally, the elements are so beautifully bittersweet. Stable and yet unpredictable; I am altogether both ecstatic and melancholy; never quite knowing the status quo, but going with it... it would seem that every problem that stems has its cycle in growth and resolution... the better part of six years does something to ease my insecurities... and my heart grows heavier each day with awe and admiration.
I love my daughters, I love my kitties, my fish aquarium, and doing Yoga... I love my independence, my capability, the realization that I am the first in my family to graduate college... I love my friends who are so dear and sweet to me...
I fear and anticipate what comes ahead... my energy is with the universe and the universe embraces me... I hope never to lose this feeling...
