On the heels of my trip to Japan, another soul awakening opportunity awaits us: Indonesia. Whaaaat??? YES!
In a few short weeks I will be in Bali, with my dear teacher Master Ou and Pangu family. My life is slowly becoming what I dreamed it would be. And while the external adventure is spectacular, breathtaking and surreal, it's the inside that is truly magical. I am slowly reshaping, molding, sifting, and digesting myself to become the person I was born to be. The person I knew I had the potential to be, rather than remaining the person I'd let myself become. I just had too much stuff in the way!! And the stuff is still there, it still circulates in new ways -- but it's less stuff, MUCH less, and each go 'round there is a refinement that is noticeable.
I finally come to understand what it had been: a yearning for a way out, when actually what I had wanted to find was a way in.

My inner journey seems to be mirrored to me constantly by what happens in life. Life is a constant ebb and flow of ease and effort, sweet and bitter, ugly and beautiful. What I notice is that when my own ugliness gets cleaned up, I see more beauty in the world around me, and more opportunities certainly arise. In the letting go of things that don't matter, that just take up precious space inside, of letting go of what I thought I wanted, I have opened myself up to what's ACTUALLY happening, to exciting possibilities, to the mysterious sacredness of life, the experience of freedom.
I considered my option there were only two and they were essentially the same. I could go back in the direction I had come from, or I could go forward in the direction I intended to go.

That's the freedom I'm talkin' about.
Namaste,
