the child within you...

On the evening before my next excursion into the Himalayas,

my mind rests with greater ease, for I have seen the flow of these mountains,

I have received a feel for the way of the hiker

and I grasp a greater understanding of the road ahead

Its a road I will be traveling with 1,000 more meters of elevation than before

its a road with many more tourists along the way

but this trail meets everyone at a different pace

at a different stroke

with a different meaning

for in this hour and days of play

as our world begins to see catastrophe

and our minds begin to find answers

we seek meaning to our lives

we seek purpose to our walk

we seek a bigger vision for our existence

for life can simply take us by surpise

and Poof, we disappear

but the real question lies

are we living our dreams?

are we questing for OUR answers

are we seeking the meanings to the questions we do not know....

or has the innocence of the child within you

drifted away

fallen to pieces

been overwhelmed by fear?

or will it overcome these challenges

find its inner resources,

and begin to live

to breathe

and to love

with determination in your veins

with a fire of heartful flow in your fingers

and the willingness to let go

to surrender

and fall gracefully into the hands of the unknown

For me, unknown means

adventure

insight

evolution

answers

and most importantly

a forver questing to see

to feel

to comprehend a universe

so big

so wise and

so full of an endless stream of flowing love.

This adventure is yours...

are you living it?

are you loving it?

Are you waking up to your own greatness each and every day?

Only you know these answers

only you can feel that heart

listen to it

feel for it

and love with it...

see you soon...
