Free will


Hmmm...totally letting go and exploring free will. How far I have come, then wham a slip up by just human contact. I'm simply amazed how fast another human being can touch our psyche and disturb, rattle, or humble our thought pattern. Yes, I have to give credit to the growth that has been estabished in two years of healing. Yes, I thank my family and friends who have noticed this growth and have accepted the person who has arisen from the cocoon of painful emergence. How wonderful to think I never have to return to this cocoon. I'm free to be me, to experience these moments of laughter and pain, to cry and laugh with total abandon if I thus desire. Even knowing that the search for true companionship and understanding is a whimsical journey leading to some days of frustration, I still allow my soul that strength and joy to continue the journey and enjoy the progress along the way. Lessons to learn, people to love, pain to be felt. My physical brain still slips and spouts causing reactions from others. But maybe I was meant to rattle some cages and perhaps I was meant to touch lives in some manner of being. As long as I share unconditional love also, allowing them total free will healing will occur. I'm trying to just allow others to be. Healing continues...

Ramblings


And why did I feel the need to criss cross Lou's Inferno with New Beginnings....hmmm. Perhaps because the fine books that we are reading bring out many questions on the pathway of new beginnings. My ramblings which will continue not only through my fingers, through my mouth, but alas through my feet as I ramble across the country. Next stop Denver to see my children Laura and Brandon...Can't wait

Robert Johnson

Who is Robert Johnson I asked? "Year of Fog" brought up this name and I had to search because my curious nature would not rest. Oh and the skeptic would relay "You should know who Robert Johnson is!" but alas we cannot know all or even a small fraction but we can educate ourselves therefor preventing ignorance. The blues singer, the woman lover, the devil of a singer: that is Robert Johnson. Great music and a deep soul who was constantly searching to find himself, to see himself through a woman's eyes. Love them, hate them, leave them, ...love them.. a never ending circle. We all have the rambling spirit in us, the spirit that searches for our true identity...
A quote from the book (I marveled): "We all have a little Robert Johnson in us. We're all capable of bartering away our soul. The question is whether or not we chance upon the devil."
We ramble, we search, we are not here long... live for this moment for it might not happen again.
