THE LONG ROAD

The length of the Long Road is determined by the person traveling and by the manner in which they travel. How often do you take inventory of your surroundings? Do you have memories that color what you see? Do you amble by foot, or do you speed along by motorized conveyance?

From a higher perspective, the Long Road is not so long, even when weighed by such pain and suffering, the traveler must go slowly and under great duress. On the Road, you cannot travel backwards, and you may not re-pave the past. You must move forward: through the darkness, through routes unchartered, through gauntlets of monsters and threats that promise narrowing you to the bone.

This is the experience of Life—to know all the colors and the nuance and even suggestion of the colors—so that when you meet another traveler, you have a better chance of seeing what they see. When you have seen through the filters of another, you will engage based on commonalities . . . and would you cut off your own arm?

The Long Road can indeed feel very Long. When you pause, you will notice what is coming to bloom, and what is leaving behind its petals and seeds. You will see the bobcat cross the road, and know every kind of weather. You will see forms in the clouds and reflections in the rain. You will feel your separateness, and your togetherness.

On the Long Road, you will come to turns, and twists, and places where the road has been washed away, causing you to navigate by the stars. Look up to the stars. Know that what has made them, has made you, and that their Light is still inside you. You are sun, and the reflection of the sun.

You are what makes seeds open in the dark. Your Light casts shadows, that you may know the form of things, and you will see this shadow of self/Self on the Road as you traverse. You are the Road, and the Sun, and the Anima. You are a nucleus.

Be on the Long Road, wide awake, wide aware, widely reaching. Worry not so much about your destination, but revel in the fact that you are placing your own steps—that the miracle of you/You is traveling through the world, sublimely Alive.

Blessed Be This Day
