We have to take care of the basics before we forget our roots…before we forget the least of our worries, which in essence are the core of our fears…I hope we can peel off the layers of onion-like epidermal coverings, which we have allowed our souls to be programmed to:

Rollover/Turn the Other Cheek/prevent the stones from breaking our bones/go high when “they” go low, thus the lionization of right and wrong becomes challenged and the “who” can become you.

I learned that I first had to define what I wanted to receive by sharing my stated objectives with a “neutral” party. The neutral party can be within, outside and/or above my physical being…this reflection usually provides the fuel for my waves that crave direction.

Knowing that “mistakes” breed lessons and a lesson learned and applied is another minute of life added to the “Bank Of Life.”

As I am sure my current charge is NOT to surrender, but to remain on point, making necessary adjustments for the necessary refinements of the journey is a joy and on this day I will…
