i've felt lost, like gandalph the grey in the pit (with the dread) that turned him to gandalph the white. i'm no wizard i havn't changed colors. but i have experienced a changing challenge and did methodically
accomplished certain feats, fought certain advesaries and come
up to the summit once more-where precipice is a place i look into.
reconfirming to me that i can expect the untold, the unexpected to throw me over this summited position into the place of the
precipice where courage and fervor demands decisive actions for clear definition, growth and life. again on the summit, i have turned in the
four directions and given thanks to the universal powers for continuing
to teach me and for giving me opportunity to put to use the lessons and
pass the test - i come away with added knowledge, added courage, added
confirmation of my spirit being whole, intact, guided by the One True
Universal Power where i see the Light where i see how tolive the Life. one gained insight for me these last 2
months is that even though i see adversity approaching and make efforts and take actions hoping to block adversity, stand my position and prevent the shove,
i cannot always avoid the blow intended to initiate a fall into the
precipice. more fully i see that i do constantly listen for the directions and that is how i live and by listening and doing i confirm
my return to the summitted place true and tested and at peace with my own acts, beliefs at peace with the fact that God has me in His thoughts and plans. there is no way that on my own human power unguided
would i have entered the precipice and much less a way i could have
returned to the summit. i was reminded by a note from my dad that the scouts motto is "BE PREPARED" while he seemed intended to insult me from that statement, i was able to immediately HEAR from somewhere outside myself that the second part of that motto is BE PREPARED BUT IT MAY NOT HELP ANYWAY. i didn't have to listen to or take on the insult. i chose rather to use it to confirm that human mottos are not the final One Word and i chose to address and comment back with this 2nd part of the motto he brought up. i've missed my LIVE JOURNALING and the people i connect to through this medium.Matt's modem is broke is why he hasn't been on. he is doing well. he had his 27th b'day, Sav 12 and Angela 19-we had a birthday meal and cake that had all three birthdays represented.
