"We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."JOSEPH CAMPBELL (1904-1987)
So much can happen in so little time. Life really is a whirlwind of activity, of circumstance - both good and bad - of action, of decision. But in the placid moments, I do wonder, this purpose, this planned course of action, is this drive really going anywhere?
Some things seem right, and feel so good. They might tick every point in all of my check-lists. So while there are many reasons I could postulate, people or circumstances to blame, ultimately sometimes even the best things - the right things - aren't really what I make them out to be.
Feelings are strange creatures, and they may very well point us in wrong direction. But they are real and visceral, and cannot be denied.
And so, perhaps, this life I try to put together is not the life that is meant for me. And surely, in letting it go, I also let myself go into the current that will bring me to that better place purposed for me.
