Pardon my absence…
25-Apr-10
I have observed that quite some time has passed since my last post. It is my intention to post at least two to three times a month. The previous weeks have found me immersed in a health issue, nothing that was life threatening, yet potentially for me, very life changing. Although not completely resolved, things seem to be quieting down to a manageable level. What this experience brought me is a deeper appreciation of what it is to be human, along with the knowledge of how very human I truly am. I was totally consumed with the issue at hand 24/7, with little time for anything else. My mind was filled with worst case scenarios, fearful of losing my way of life, my envisioned future and even fearful of my lovely wife Marie leaving me, because I would not measure up to the person she has known all these years. Could all these things happen? Anything is possible. Will they all happen? Highly unlikely!!
The mind does have a habit of jumping straight to most fearful place first, instead of the most hopeful. I had always thought that somehow, my spiritual outlook would make facing such issues a little less turbulent, it eventually did, but only after the initial rude awakening. Going forward, I will explore alternative healing modalities, as traditional western methods are limited in solutions for my particular issue. I am cautiously optimistic in regard to future results, not because of my lack of faith in alternative healing, more because of faith in my ability to do my part in producing a positive outcome. Once again, I am very human. At some later date I will report back on progress and future outlook. For now, I am happy to be back.
Be well, be peace and join the conversation!
