Wow, this was a delightful read, thank you so much for your insights and wisdom. I have never heard it from this perspective before and I deeply appreciate it.

I have always felt a call towards God/Great Spirit. Growing up I went to a Catholic school so resented "religion" and how it was taught then I discovered "spirituality" yet something just felt missing for me. The teachings were always about ascending or being with God and completely dismissed this incredible physical experience we are currently having.

For me now, Im currently at a place in my journey where I believe one of the Holiest things you can do is live life, to truly and deeply feel all of life/this journey and know that God/Great Spirit is also walking with you (to put it very simply) and that we have eternity to be with God head so let's enjoy and explore this journey of the "physical" while we can 💖

This was a wonderful read and resonated SO deeply with my current state. I recently noticed how strongly I have the urge to just "get on with it", to fast track the journey & just arrive at the destination. My desire to rush only creates more stress/anxiety on me and pressure on the people or circumstances around me. I'm sure it stems from wanting to bypass the discomfort and work.

Your post made me realize how we really only feel the satisfaction of reaching our destination because we've navigated a difficult and bumpy journey. Thank you!

PS- I'm wondering how you (or others) come to realizing maybe when something is just not your journey? I have a history of trying and trying to make things work that in hindsight, clearly weren't aligned or meant for me. I suspect this is where the all or nothing thinking comes from: it either must happen NOW or not at all.

Almost convinced me to go for a walk. Sneaky! Seriously though, very thoughtful and relevant post.
