An adventure I am setting on

I know we are on the right path. When has the right path been easy? The moment an honest and pure decision gets difficult is the moment to be sure that you are heading in the right direction. I am not scared this time; I’m terrified! But I am very much at ease in my heart. I know that this path will lead us in the final direction that we want to go. For everything good there are some things that sadden you but which you have to give up. So many emotions will have to be handled with great caution here. So many journeys will be filled with worry for a while due to the direction in which we are headed. But I hope there is trust in our actions. Hope in the fact that we are seeking a higher good. Faith that we will do something that means something to the ones who don’t have as many opportunities as we did. I know that in the end even if we don’t succeed the knowledge that we tried will help us look and move ahead in life. Else our life will be a dream never realized, an adventure that we never ventured on.

Seperating thoughts from mind

We learn words, to understand them before we may learn alphabets. A child does not know what he is saying, knows not what his words mean till he learns alphabets and joins them to form words. Mind functions in a similar manner. It goes throught thought processes incessantly and we do not sit and take the time to separate a thought from our mind. Its only when we start to see each thought separately can we notice the gaps between the thoughts. To be aware we need to learn the language of the mind and be able to see each of its alphabets (thoughts) distinctly. Before we learn the alphabets we convey our words / express them directly through actions we learn. Similarly as we try to delve into our mind, we need to see the impact each thought has on our mind and how they translate into actions. To change their course I first need to understand the threads of my mind & thoughts. I must learn to see their action and direction, so I may turn them to good actions.
Maybe I should do this more often. Its been so long since I sat down and jotted down all that runs through my mind. Maybe there is too much happening and I am unable to grasp them all. Unable to understand what all is going on in one single moment. I used metaphors and similies to decribe my thoughts. Now I feel the need to make it all simple. I Love writing on paper maybe cause i feel its permanent. But i know about the reality called impermanance. Maybe thats why I am finally typing something down. My future is going to be the direction i decide to walk on.

It doesnt matter how much I think I know life, behind every corner lurks something new that surprises me. Then i know living is about continously innovating myself . Life is about changes and the way to harmony is changing with them.
Life is a thought, Love is the words and my Saj is their meaning
