Summer Solstice 2012, June 20th.
I had something happen to me tonight that I cannot even begin to explain in words. An epiphany per-say. Today something inside me awakened, dreams and ideas I once only imagined have become real and obtainable. Today I decide my life, my path and my journey. Today I am taking my first step. Today is a day for change. Change in my new direction. I want a rich life, rich in culture, rich in love, rich in happiness and rich in my appreciation for nature, the earth the sun and the moon. Its time to take control of my life and follow my heart and my desire for a beautiful, sustainable life. I have to let go of this idea of failure. Failure in whose eyes? Who determines what failure is? What in some eyes might be failure, is success in mine. Financial failure? Societal failure? The idea to live under certain rules? Who's rules?? I make my rules, I choose my life and what I think is success. As far as I know I have already succeeded , succeeded to break free from "the norm".
Today I choose step 1. FOOD. I choose to be mindful and smart about what I put in my body and how I use the resources the earth has provided to man. I'm starting today with one thing. WHOLE GRAIN. Goodbye white bread, goodbye white pasta. I don't need you , my body is better without you and you are no good for me!!!
But let me say, I cannot only thank "faith" (well and the first day of summer :-) ) for this, I have to thank my baby. He has drawn out something inside me that has been tucked away. He makes me feel right, he has awakened my soul. And how lucky am I that I get to share this life, this dream , this journey with my soul mate? The ying to my yang.
I AM NO LONGER AFRAID.
Today my journey to nirvana begins. Today I achieved prajna, which in buddhism means wisdom and the realization of true inner nature. It's the principal means of attaining nirvana, true liberation, true happiness.
