I think this is such an honest share of the spiritual path. The true struggle of what it is like. I remember in my 20 ‘s what I thought my life would be like on this path and boy was I wrong. The con artist teachers and snake charmers don’t help that offer manifesting and manipulation. If only it were that easy. Those teachers on the other side know something. I like how you write that you don’t always want to hear it. It’s kind of like hearing wisdom from a real good parent or grade school teacher. Children don’t want to hear it either. I guess we are all children on this path and need to listen to our elders.
Thanks BBD. My mind seems to often argue for adventure; the peace deep inside for quiet beauty. As I get older -- I turned seventy yesterday -- I am finally learning to surrender.
I love your work and your honesty with your struggles. You are a very creative, deep thinker. Your art is very meditative for me. Thank you for persisting. I wish you joy and peace.
