| Somewhere in the middle of a spiritual journey
One week ago (when I found SR), I was smack dab in the middle of getting my life back on track. Getting pulled in lots of directions.
Discovering how to relate better to others, how to reach out more, and how to ask for help. Learning that being an intellectual doesn't give me a spiritual advantage or some kind of a "head-start" in this process.
Realizing that I need and greatly benefit from relating and sharing with others. Realizing how my natural tendencies to retreat and to contemplate and to mentally reflect on things -- while useful to me -- can often get in the way of that.
That was just a week ago, and I am still roughly in that same place -- but now I am pointed in a better direction. The only task left is to take a step forward, being open and trusting in the process and, some time after that ... to take another step ... until I'm walking a rewarding path.
