In the Middle of Somewhere...Not Sure Where

Are you anything like me: You know when something is about to happen, but you don't know exactly what; You can feel a big change is on the way, but you can't decide which way the wind of change is blowing; You can sense that you are in the middle of something, but you don't know just what or where. Yeah, you are like me. Its a real bummer when this sort of thing happens, huh?

"The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart." That, from Buddha.
"If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found." That, from I don't know who.
"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." That, from Nelson Mandela.
"That's the way things come clear. All of a sudden. And then you realize how obvious they've been all along." That, from Madeleine L'Engle.


The painting above is titled "Abstract Suffering." Sometimes it feels like that painting makes me feel...to be in the middle of somewhere, but not sure where; to be in the middle of something, but not sure what.
I recommend that if you find yourself in that place...the middle...that you take some time. Time to be calm. Time to center. Time to let things sort themselves out.
"Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another." That, from Arthur Christopher Benson.
"When your heart speaks, take good notes." That, from Judith Campbell.

I wish you well when you find yourself somewhere, but you are not sure where. Call upon all your gifts and strengths and resources to help you find where you are and where you should go next. And here is one more quote, again from Buddha: "There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
