I feel that her thoughts compliment mine completely:<br /><br />"I remember talking with you before you went and telling you - -GO. There is no other time in your life when you get to wander in the jungle and see what the universe has to tell you. Year ago, I wandered in the very same jungle as you -- Belize, Guatemala -- during a time of war and uncertainty. I walked away from that experience with a realization that we all have to find our jungle and our purpose.<br /><br />I appreciate your note very deeply. Life for me has been a hidden jungle as of late and I am reminded to go back to the centering that isolation and nature brought me years ago. You are so right ... we must choose our path. We often say that life is not in our control, but our reaction to life IS. No matter one's philosophical or religious beliefs - at the end of the day, we must make a choice - What WILL we do with the life we have? What matters to us? What mark will we leave? and What CHANGE will we make?<br /><br />Here at home, I am reminded to decide each day, What do I WANT to do? What matters? What mark will I leave?" -anonymous cool person<br /><br />I second that!!!Shaun Vanimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230251218377282782noreply@blogger.com
