Truth

So much gratitude for my “birthday moon” tonight, as a friend called it –  the most beautiful, bright, full moon – to close out my 30th year and welcome in a new one. I am back in Wyoming, where the solace of wide open space speaks most clearly to my heart right now, and I know this is exactly where I am supposed to be.

Grateful, as always, for the journey, and the reminders from nature that there is never a better “there” than “right here, right now.” Breathe it in! Let go of the stuff that isn’t serving you. Keep moving forward.

“In the end, I’ve come to believe in something I call “The Physics of the Quest.” A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.”
