And now, now that every minute is so full, so chock full of life and experience and struggle and victory and defeat and more struggle and sometimes peace, now I no longer think of the future, that is, I no longer care if I ‘make it’ because I now have inner certainty that everything will be taken care of. Before I lived in anticipation, I had the feeling that nothing I did was the ‘real thing’; that it was all a preparation for something else, something ‘greater’, more ‘genuine’…But that feeling has dropped away from me completely. I live here and now, this minute, this day to the full and live is worth living…and we know life, don’t we? We have experienced everything if only in the mind, and there’s no need any longer to hang on for dear life.’Days Careenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335916044995483230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-52694674511315492052011-08-30T04:27:34.763-04:002011-08-30T04:27:34.763-04:00Hope you'll arive at this point soon :)Hope you'll arive at this point soon :)RetreatingAndAdvancinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527201127815338456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-55523803039360450072011-08-29T18:50:24.401-04:002011-08-29T18:50:24.401-04:00The hardest part is when you're so close to be...The hardest part is when you're so close to being there.
