Overlooking the Bay
He was walking briskly in my direction across a parking lot toward an automated teller machine. He looked as smart as he moved, classy business suit and brief case, sunglasses setting off a fashionable power haircut.
It seemed he had it all and knew it, and was going to the automated teller to cash in. It seemed like nothing but business was on his mind.
Just then my attention was drawn to the greater milieu in which this little scene was unfolding. Behind this man with his focused intentions was a magnificent bay of limpid opal water.
Inviting hills rose on all sides, lush with gorgeous flowers of every hue. The sun was yet low in the morning sky, casting soothing rays of light on the paradisical setting.
The sight of this unassuming magnificence wrought a sudden and unexpected shift in my perception - the desire to release that man and all he represented.
To let go as one might unclench a fist and allow sand to flow through the fingers freely.
It would be possible to walk in his world and yet live in the world beyond him.
This I saw . . . on the parking lot by the automated teller machine overlooking the bay.
So beautifully described, if feels as though I was there... except, I think I was the man!

ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth. I missed that point! What is on my mind is: what work is mine at this point? Where? What? How? The universe has not spoken yet (or I haven't heard yet!).
ReplyDeleteJust know wearing heals & panty hose not so comfortable....

ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth. But I didn't just finish TPP the second round to settle for tolerable. How about if I aim for a fun, inspirational job working with people who are awake or willing to wake up. Work that is fullfilling as it provides for more than me & my family. I keep coming back to what Nesia once wrote: How do I be that the entire the world is safe (I paraphrase)? That is key in this process I believe. The right work will then fall out of it effortlessly....
