Five,
Curious what disruptive thing happened, and wonder if it's another of those unsettling learning experiences from which we grow?

I've SO enjoyed meeting you here in recent days. Seems like just when I'm at the end of my rope and ready to give up, another lead comes along, seemingly stringing me along by a thread. They come along and fall away in such rapid succession. I suppose that's a lesson in itself, that nothing is lasting, everything is subject to change at any time, and there's nothing external that can be relied on to be there from one moment to the next. The only thing that we can control are our own choices, what we choose to engage, to consider, to allow in or edit out, and how we choose to react. It's all internal. Everything else comes and goes in a continuous ebb and flow all around us.

In the short time since I met you here you've provided me with such reassurance that engaging my mind freely, fearlessly, openly, and honestly, is the greatest gift anyone could give to themselves AND those around them, well, those who choose to listen, that is. And if no-one is listening, that's fine too, so long as the mind remains invested in pursuit of understanding.

I wish you the BEST on your journey, wherever that may lead you.
